Egypt is very prosperous.

Not an expert on Egypt, I assume they get a lot of tourism dollars.

But I don’t know how much their inner economy works.

And prosperous is other thing their people are dying and their government spending billions of $$$ in defense

"Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth increased in Egypt to 5.6% in fiscal year 2019 (ending June 30, 2019), compared to 4.6% in the previous three years. This robust performance was sustained throughout the first half of fiscal year 2020, driven mainly by investments and the improving balance of net exports.

While Egypt’s fiscal space has gradually improved, thanks to fiscal consolidation measures in previous years, the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic might temporarily hinder the budget deficit and government debt reduction efforts.

Foreign reserves are at comfortable levels, stabilizing at US$45.5 billion in end-February 2020, covering 8 months of merchandise imports, replenished over the past three years mainly through remittances, the Eurobond issuances, and foreigners’ purchase of Treasury bills and bonds, along with the external borrowing. Exports and FDI are yet to rebound."

Russian state media reported that the Gagarin Aircraft Plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has launched the production of its advanced Su-35 fighter jets under a contract with Egypt.

Russia’s news agency, TASS, quoting military diplomatic source, reported that was launched the production of SU-35 fighters, intended to be delivered to the Egyptian Air Force under the contract signed in 2018

“The Gagarin Aircraft Plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has launched the production of Su-35, intended to be delivered to the Egyptian Air Force under the contract signed in 2018,” the source said.

“The timeframe for first batch’s delivery to the Egyptian side has not been set yet, due to restrictions imposed by the novel coronavirus outbreak,” he added.

Russia’s Kommersant daily reported in March 2019 that Egypt had decided to purchase several Russian-made Su-35 fighter jets for about $2 billion. The signing of the deal has never been confirmed by official sources.

China has become the first foreign country to buy Su-35 when it signed a $2.5-billion deal with Russia for 24 aircraft. The deal also envisaged supplies of ground equipment and spare engines. The delivery of the aircraft to China was completed in 2019.

The Su-35S is a heavily upgraded generation 4++ supermaneuverable multipurpose fighter jet developed on the basis of fifth-generation technologies. The Su-35S is distinguished by its new avionics suite based on the information control system, the new radar, plasma ignition engines of the increased capacity and thrust vectoring. These engines meet the requirements for the powerplant of fifth-generation fighters as they allow developing supersonic speed without using an afterburner.

Why buy a mig 35 and su 35?

Egypt's Air Force:

F-16
Mig-29
Mig-35
Su-35
Rafale
Mirage 2000

All 4th generation fighters. They are just buying for the sake of it..

And pilots? Training? Tactics?

If you desperate to fight them and has some balls ..... you can fight them through 4 other destinations avoiding Egypt ....

But you people are just keyboard warriors.... just hypocrites .... and in better case .... just naive people ... don’t know what are you taking about.

Tourism , exports, Suez Canal , Egyptians out side .... finally Oil &Gas ....specially the newly discovered Gas fields in Eastern Mediterranean that worth about 200 B USD ..... that must be protected from the newly Ottman Imperialistic minds in Turkey.

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

that must be protected from the newly Ottman Imperialistic minds in Turkey.

Does Egypt dare to fight Turkey for it?

 

[Stannis Baratheon]

Defense is important. For without defense, other countries can bully you.

So is a competent military and Egypt lacks that.

That is just the start of Oil&Gas fields discoveries..

Egypt announced in 2018 that it had achieved self-sufficiency in natural gas after the increase in production at recently discovered gas fields.

Now:

Egypt signs two gas exploration deals in Mediterranean worth $332 mln with ExxonMobil

Egypt, Germany sign gas, oil exploration deal in Nile Delta worth 43 mln USD

The deal brings the number of petroleum deals that Egypt has signed with investors in the past four years to 61, with a minimum investment of about 6 billion dollars.

Egypt aims to become a regional hub for the trade of oil and liquefied natural gas after major discoveries were made in recent years, including the Zohr gas field in the Mediterranean which holds an estimated 30 trillion cubic feet of gas.

Should have modernised existing f16s to block 70 plus standard. Then maybe bought new builds from usa. Lastly bought Rafale. Crazy to buy various platforms.
