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..
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.
F-16
Egyptian Airforce 178 F-16 block32/40 dont have link-16 data link for network centric warfare
and electronic warfare countermeasures insufficient to target modern fighter jets
70km outdated Sparrow is junk to compare with 120km AIM-120C7 networked air to air missile
also Egyptian Airforce F-16s dont have land attack Cruise Missile
btw Egyptian Airforce doesnt have large scale operation capability without Air refueling Tankers
MIG-29M2
Egyptian Airforce MIG-29M2s dont have network centric warfare capability
and Russian MIG-29M2s can not provide an excellent complement to the American E-2 Hawkeye AEWCs
but Egyptian MIG-29M2s can be threat to the Turkish Navy
RAFALE
Egyptian Airforce RAFALEs armed with only 60km MICA air to air missile and without SCALP Cruise Missile
also Egyptian RAFALEs are without SPECTRA self protection electronic warfare suite
in a real war F-16, RAFALE, MIG-29M2 and E-2 AEWC can not communication with each others via data link ... only radio communication , nothing else
also what about long range IFF System ?
so the Turkish Airfore F-16s on the other hand, with a 120km engagement range, more precise munitions and more effective electronic warfare countermeasurs would thus enjoy an overwhelming advantage in air to air combat
192 Turkish F-16s with link 16 datalink + 4 Boeing E7-T AEWCs enabled by information technology, into a competitive advantage through the robust computer networking of well informed geographically dispersed forces technical steps towards supporting network centric warfare including the Cooperative Engagement Capability
Turkish F-16s with link-16 datalink and 120km AIM-120C7 networked air to air missiles + Boeing E7-T AEWC with MESA Radar to detect Egyptian Airforce MIG-29M2 or SU-35 from 300+ km away for network centric warfare and cooperative engagement capability
Israel and Turkey have developed its own IFF System , EW self protection Suite , land attack Cruise Missile and long range guided Bombs , also link-16 datalink , networked air to air missile , AEWCs and Air refueling Tankers for network centric warfare and cooperative engagement capability in a large scale operation
only Turkish and Israeli Airforces can do it in the region .....
