Arms Race in the Middle East: Egypt Modernizes Air Fleet.
Egypt is considering the possibility of acquiring new Dassault Rafale fighter jets
According to unofficial information, Egypt is negotiating with France for the purchase of a new batch of multi-role Dassault Rafale fighter jets. This could significantly strengthen the country's air forces.
Recent discussions also include a technology transfer agreement that would allow Egypt to produce some components of the aircraft at its own factories. Meanwhile, media outlets often mention rumors about a potential consideration of the Chinese Chengdu J-10C fighter jet for procurement.
Egypt already has 54 Rafale fighter jets that were purchased in previous years. These aircraft are noted for their high technical specifications and combat capabilities.
If the deal with France is concluded, it could become an important collaboration for both countries. However, the choice between the Rafale and the Chinese J-10C may also influence Egypt's strategic plans and arms supplies in the future.
