There is no maintenance nightmare for Egypt .. it ptoduces 100 000 engineers a year and more than 200 000 technicians.. technology is not an issue either.. all is under control..The Egyptian airforce knows better than anyone..Egypt is cornering itself into a maintenance nightmare. Russian, american & french fighters is a big range of very diverse technologies to maintain.
BAF is no longer interested in Mig-35s due to CAATSA (we wont get CAATSA waiver like other countries).Is the BAF interested in the MiG-35? I haven't followed the thread in a little while. Great discussion on that BTW. You guys are brutally tough on them lol.

At the moment we are negotiating for Either Typhoon or Rafale.(Most likely typhoon) BAF has asked for 3 billion USD for 16 jets.
All the best to Egypt.
tranche 1 eft is not capable of firing meteor as far as i know. Uk probably wont sell them and put them in storage.BAF can go for second hand EFTs from UK or possibly Austria with small numbers of new EFTs (latest trench), it will be big boost for BAF specially if Meteor AAM is available with them.
whatever you say dude...There is no maintenance nightmare for Egypt .. it ptoduces 100 000 engineers a year and more than 200 000 technicians.. technology is not an issue either.. all is under control..The Egyptian airforce knows better than anyone..
Lol it's true what they say about the difference amateurs and professionals.There is no maintenance nightmare for Egypt .. it ptoduces 100 000 engineers a year and more than 200 000 technicians.. technology is not an issue either.. all is under control..The Egyptian airforce knows better than anyone..
Too many ignorant and idiotic comments to answer..Lol it's true what they say about the difference amateurs and professionals.
Unless you are using the technicians and and engineers as spare parts and ordnance then your point is idiotic. Different systems Russian French/American do not interact easily and during war this would be exposed by any semi competent opponent.
There is so much wrong with this. The only reason Egypt has done this is to avoid embargoes, otherwise it would be a bad decision. The EAF record is abysmal

The correct way of going about this, is firstly to establish a comprehensive agreement on supply of spares, logistical set-up by the operator country and investment on maintenance being done in-country.
Investing in MiG-35 Fulcrum-F is worth the effort, since this fighter is not just a fighter-jet, it's brawler-jet. The MiG-35 has some unique capabilities and if the operator country manages to establish a seamless logistical base for the MiG fleet. It's ability to generate a higher rate of sorties will result in a significant advantage in times of war.
Nope thinking that having multiple aircraft types is a good idea is stupid. Thinking that logistics for multiple types is simple is stupid. Making comments about the number of engineers in Egypt and thinking it means anything, is stupid. The EAF has a terrible record. And it is because politicians and poor military leadership are making decisions. Making excuses out of national pride is stupid.Too many ignorant and idiotic comments to answer..
Just know that Egypt makes most of its spare parts..
Criticizing the Egyptian leadership.. is the only stupid thing in all this dumb post..too much ignorance and seeking for some sense of importance won't get you far here.. go educate yourself about these matters first..Nope thinking that having multiple aircraft types is a good idea is stupid.

You keep claiming ignorance on the part of others having posted the most inane of comments about "Engineers"Criticizing the Egyptian leadership.. is the only stupid thing in all this dumb post..too much ignorance and seeking for some sense of importance won't get you far here.. go educate yourself about these matters first..
How many types China has?
How many types The US has?
How many types Russia has?
Losing what?You keep claiming ignorance on the part of others having posted the most inane of comments about "Engineers"
And asking what types CHINA/RUSSIA/US have in a discussion about the Egyptian airforce shows how dim-witted your assertion is.
The Egyptian air forces record is a part of History. They have not been of any use
Finally here is a snippet from a think-tank about the the EAF that sums it up.
"the EAF’s overall organization and recruitment have not been substantially improved. Officers are still educated almost exclusively in military-run institutions, so they are not exposed to the broadening effects of interacting with civilian academics and students, as is typical in Western militaries. NCOs must serve for eighteen years before they have a chance of becoming commissioned officers, but most only attain that status as an honorific on retirement. There is no evidence that their vital contribution to military effectiveness has, as yet, been appreciated. Officers spend too long in the same assignment, and thereby they do not have sufficient opportunities to learn new skills and outlooks associated with varied experiences. Conscripts continue to be treated as cannon fodder—as indicated by their relatively high casualty rate in the Sinai—and as free labor for military-owned enterprises. Most university-educated youths are loath to serve in the military. Instead of seeing it as a career step, they see military service as tantamount to a career holding pattern. Many do whatever is necessary to avoid conscription, including paying bribes. Of the total number of active duty and reserve personnel of some 850,000, poorly educated conscripts comprise the overwhelming majority."
Don't act like some of us haven't visited the middle East and seem how things work there. That's why they keep losing...
Perhaps money is poured in by foreign powers so Egypt is able to stock pile sufficient spares of different origins. As per my humble opinion do same spares can be used for Mig 21s and F7s,Nope thinking that having multiple aircraft types is a good idea is stupid.
