Shokran,walakin we still haven't even signed the deal. But the government is obsessed with getting F-35s. They even asked for Simulators!

Do not worry, it will be done very soon, and in a respectable number, too. It will make a lot of difference. Imagine it and the Rafale together. There are no words to describe the matter, but if you have information about the red flag exercise, you will find what pleases you.

Is Egypt buying the F-15?
Most likely no. It's been over 6 months since the CENTCOM accepted to sell us the F-15 and there is no congressional vote about the deal, no status from Minister of Foreign Affairs etc... But the rumor of Egypt purchasing Eurofighter Typhoon is regaining surface heavily. Plus the other deals based local production like Tejas MK1A/FA-50 etc...

How are you going to maintain so many different aircraft from so many different nations?

Egypt has experience since the 70 and the 80ies same like you with your F-16 Mirage 3/5 J-10 JF-17 etc... Lots of different aircrafts from so many different nations.

Plus Western and Eastern countries have some doctrine against Egypt. If they don't supply some certain weapons so we are going the opposite block etc.. Since the 90ies Egypt asked for the F-15 but the US refused for some certain reasons. So we bought SU-35 and Rafales to compensate the deal and to reduce the gap with our neighbor. If you look closely in terms of weapons deals, the US and the NATO do some sort of embargo on us in comparing to KSA UAE Jordan etc... So that's why we buy from multiple sources. It is something imposed on us. The US refused to supply to us Javelin missile, so we bought according to some rumors the MMP/ Akeron MP and maybe in the future HJ-12 etc...
