We just saw two , that doesn't meant that only two were produced

Sand colored?

Presidential Blackhawk. I think there's only 2 of them. Nice color.

So far we've seen 3 different serial numbers (or like the Russians like to call them, 'bort'). The desert camo #811, the unpainted single seater #801 and that 2-shade navy blue colored one which is also a single seater but with that different, 4-digit number 8704 and missing the roundel on it. So who knows if the unpainted #801 SS is that same blue one and they changed the serial number? Hard to tell with these Russians.

but the question is why using the rafale loaded with air to air missiles ?
and why the f16 loadout isnt complete it can carry more than that of mk82 bombs ?

Nice.

Notice the couple of blk 52's without any orange swaths? Mainly 9757 and 9764 in the pics above.

Looks like one is also carrying GBU-12's, which can also be used on Rafales. I'm only guessing, but maybe they were only flying escort for the F-16s which didn't have any A/A missiles on them. That's really the best way to perform a mission like this. But still, the F-16's should at least carry AIM-9's on their empty wingtip rails. Also, it might be because A/G training is not complete with the Rafales.

I don't think the "target" needed a lot of weapons dropped on it, TBH.

It could be from EAF/MOD archive since there are many precedents of such reports!

Surprising @The SC
When did Egypt receive it?
Russia was looking for a foreign customer for Mig-35's future developments.
Do you have any information about the contract between Egypt and Russia? I hope they have bargained on equipping them with multi spectrum sub systems.

Pictures of the second Egyptian submarine S42 of class 209/1400 Mod last night near Holten not far from the city of Kiel on its way to the North Sea to conduct extensive sea tests, the Egyptian submarine crossed in the morning the city of Wilhelmshaven near the city of Bremen, Germany.

It is still going through testing in Russia as you can see some Russian language on the civilian airplanes behind it..
Egypt will receive 6 of them in 2017 from a total of 52, as well as 6 K-52 helicopters from a total of 46..
