Latest photos of the Egyptian MIG-35 in the final Navy camouflage

It seems that the Air Force will allocate a part of the MIG fleet to maritime support and air interdiction in the coastal areas, so it has received this camouflage, which is certainly not suitable for the marine environment alone, while the desert camouflage will be devoted to the desert environment.

It's still on... but for later since France didn't want to engage in it right now. If she does so, she will need to take those pcs from her own manufacturing line ( like the 3 Rafale).

Ok, ugh, lol. If this does happen, we'll be looking at the following:

F-16 (230+/-)
Rafales (36)
MiG29M/M2 (50)
Sukhoi 35 (29)

Mirage V (should be retired)
Mirage 2000 (should be retired)
F-4 Phantom (should be retired)
MiG-21 (should be retired)
F-7 (should be retired)

Makes you wonder how the first 4 will maintain a cohesive form of information sharing, or have a working IFF system that is shared between each fighter and not through a command & control platform (which slows down the process and you're at a disadvantage). The F-16's and Rafales can solve that problem, so can the MiGs and Sukhois but that will separate them into 2 groups. Maybe they're fine with that?
Will all the other platforms be retired despite the small numbers in the newer aircraft except the F-16?
And doesn't seem like there will be any V-upgrade or new weapons to the Falcons because of Trump...that guy will be lucky to survive his first term! In that case, maybe the Su-35 with the MiGs are a good solution, considering the weapons they should come with. I still think more Rafales should have been the better option if they weren't so expensive.

Can a knowledgeable user in this forum educate me on a question that I had. As far as I know. Egyptian armed forces have a budget of around $5 billion plus the $1.3 billion from US in the form of aid. How can Egypt's army afford all of these purchases with the budget that they have? I'm quite curious and would very much appreciate the answers, Thank you.

It is quite simple..Egypt didn't buy any weapon systems from its budget for the last 25 years or so, it was using the $1.3 billion of US military aid for procurements from the US.. So some part of the $5 billion budget was saved all this time..let say just $1 billion a year.. that makes it $25 billion in the last 25 years and this is a minimum.. That is why Egypt can afford still more advanced weapons than this recent deals.. there are SU-35s in the pipeline as well as another Fremm frigate, some (at least)12 more Rafale, 2 more Gowind corvettes, S-400 and much more..
