It's YPR-765/AIFV, very common IFV in Egyptian army. They were purchased in late 90s from Netherlands (YPR-765) and Belgium (AIFV).

According to the Italian daily la Repubblica.. And some other sources, which were published before.. Egypt insisted on acquiring air combat missiles beyond visual range “Meteor” despite the objection of both the United States of America and Israel..

It said that France acquiesced to Egypt and agreed to sell this type of missile to the Egyptian Air Force, in addition to the modern MICA-NG air combat missiles within the framework of the armament clause within the new 30 Rafale deal..

31st March 2022

The US Forbes magazine report denies that Egypt canceled the Su-35 fighter jet deal with Russia..

One of the 4 (I think there is 4) 2-seater MiG-29M/M2 out of the 46 jets in the EAF. (They did replace the 2 that crashed in 2017 & 2019, right? Anyone know the details, @joker87 maybe? Most likely used as trainers. The interesting thing is that all the cockpits are designed as if they would be 2-seaters, but the backseat is filled with either avionics or more room for fuel tanks. Russian/MiG corp. thinking of versatility.

mig29m2 it is possible to remove the rear fuel tank and add a seat for the navigator or training, and these are among the modifications requested by the Air Force

God bless these fellas that choose to go live in these cramped up steel tubes and go underwater for a long time and be out at sea. You couldn't pay me enough to do that.

Hey @The SC , here's the current maintenance depot for all aircraft. They even overhaul the F-16 engines in there as well.

You think of how much all this maintenance costs the military on a yearly basis. Between the maintenance and salaries and most of all, the cost of flying the jets per hour with all those F-16s, MiGs and Rafales. The Rafales are around $18,000 per hour of flight! I just read that a couple of days ago. Times that by how many they fly a week plus the MiGs and the F-16s and eventually either the F-15 or Su-35 which are probably somewhere around $25K an hour each lol. This is an expensive endeavor.

I was asking you about the 2 MiGs that crashed in 2017 and 2019, as well as the one Rafale and if they replaced any of those 3 aircraft.

Now they will have a Center for not only maintenance but also development..
With 218 F-16s.. the ones to be upgraded might go to Marsa Matruh base new facility..

The MiG-29m/m2 was replaced and also received. The company registered 52 fighters, but only 50 fighters are in the service of the Air Force.
As for the Rafale, there is no source that mentioned the crash, one of which was the pilot, Muhtadi Al-Shazly, who was on a K8 training mission, and the crash of a fighter was not mentioned.
And the military spokesman mentioned that. We do not deny any crash because it is proven in the manufacturer and the Air Force

Yes, and knowing how they build state of the art complexes such as the new capital, the Mohammad Naguib base which is absolutely amazing, one can only imagine what this maintenance and development depot/complex will look like, and the equipment they'll furbish it with. Interesting that they picked Marsa Matruh, way out on the western coast of the Mediterranean. That area is unbelievably beautiful.

When the F16Block52 crashed, the matter was mentioned in 2018, and the MiG also entered service in a short period, and the Egyptian military spokesman mentioned it.

Yes the official deal was for 46 Mig-29M/M2..and Russia throwed in 6 fighters as a gift to Egypt for saving the Mig plant from harsh financial times.... now if only 50 are in service..the other two might be testing the AESA radar and the changes to avionics related with it..
