Unfortunately all your info is from blogs and none of it make sense ...F16S don't have air to air missiles and don't have guided ammunition.. basically sitting ducksFirst of all..Egypt makes laser guided munitions for a long time now.. As for the AESA radar.. Egypt fixed this problem by linking the F-16s to its AWACS's with 500km range and terrestrial strategic early warning Radars like Resonance E with over 1000 km range.. And military satellites..
Also the guy in the video asks the question; what is the secret Why the US and Usrael are still using the Sparrow air to air missile eventhough they have the AMRAM with double the range and own AESA radar?
The answer is that the Sparrow is much better at hunting stealth targets like cruise missiles, drones or UAV's that fly very low..since the sparrow is semi-active it is guided by the fighter's radar not like the AIM-120 that counts on its own small radar..the Sparrow counts on the F-16's radar which is much bigger and more powerful than the AIM's one that can lose its efficiency against cruise missiles and drones flying very low and hiding through natural contours..Hence the Sparrow will keep its efficiency at hunting the targets without ever loosing them from sight till hitting them..This is how it is superior against stealth cruise missiles and drones flying very low..
More so..the Egyptian F-16s are integrated in an air system comprising the Rafale, the Mig-29M-M2 and most likely the SU-35 .. on top of the AWACS and the ground powerful radars.. add to it one the world's most powerful air defense systems..
The day of fighter to fighter air warfare is gone.. today its a system against another system that prevails in modern air combat.. and Egypt has managed to have its own very modern integrated air warfare system that offsets any F-16 ( more than 200 of them) shortcomings!!!
We can conclude that the Egyptian F-16s hence keep their potency in air defense, air to ground and anti-chip capabilities..
* The guy in the video concludes to tell to anyone who says the F-16 is junk and not needed anymore after this knowledge.. that he is the one not needed..
E2 Hawkeye are ancient..
Yea I hope something out of the aging mig29 but rafales still don't have the meteor making it again sitting duck
Kinda reminds me how Israel dismantled the numerical superior airforce within few days in 1960s
