What's new

Egyptian Armed Forces


Until we get one of those.....:-) Egypt has almost immediate ability with 3 different and currently available platforms, or at least 1 of 3 is immediately available and the other 2 within a few years if it wanted and pushed for it.

First one can be easily done and relatively quickly: Drogue and chute off of C-130 fuel tanks.

2nd and 3rd are Rafale & MiG-29M/M2 Buddy Buddy systems.

Being that the new jets are equipped with refueling probes, the buddy/buddy system with drogue and chute would work perfectly in all 3 cases for the new MiGs, Rafales, and Mirage 2000. The F-16's will need to wait for a tanker equipped with a boom refueler, unfortunately. But it's a good, easy start.
