A photograph of two new fighters built at the Production Complex No. 1 of RAC MiG in Lukhovitsy (Moscow region) for the Egyptian Air Force - a single-seat MiG-29M with the Egyptian airborne number 8705 (705) and a two-seat MiG-29M2 with Egyptian the onboard number "8804" ("804").

The first aircraft under this contract were manufactured at the Production Complex No. 1 of RAC MiG in Lukhovitsy in early 2017. Although the first batch of cars has already been transferred to the Egyptian Air Force, in fact, their delivery to Egypt, according to known data, has not yet begun.

Was there or will it be any parade this year to commemorate the October war? I was hoping all the new stuff (S-300VM, Ka-52, MiG-35 etc.) was or will be shown.

Smart guys

The given price would mean a very good discount for Egypt, roughly $80 million per piece, apparently including weapons. International buyers should take note

$ 2 billion is the same ammount China paid for their 24 Su-35

It is not likely that Egypt will receive its first Su-35 within two years, taking into account that unlike China and Indonesia, at this time Egypt does not operate Su-27/30 and has no qualified pilots for the Su-35 in the present moment



MiG-29 , Su-35 , S-400 , Ka-52 ….
It really is a big turnaround of Egypt's defense policy after the "Arab springs" sponsored by its Western "partners"

I wonder why Egypt is investing so much money in so many platforms during austerity.

Because US are hostile to them now and they had only US made weapons which could be useless if USA stop providing spare parts.

Buying different hardwares from different countries provides quickly new hardwares as they deliver them in the same time but also political support, french and russian in the case of egypt with rafales, mistrals, sukhoi, migs, ka-52 ...


Just like quatar is buying from everyone so that Saudi arabia can't attack them.

Well, sort of. Egypt won't get attacked by US even if US has so so relations with Egypt now. Egypt is rather strong as of now, and has the backing if Saudi Arabia, which is US backer. So they won't sick one of their vassals on another.

Egypt has to get through it's austerity. This may be a back room deal where they give "$2B to Russia for Su-35", but really, that $2B will go back to Egypt in form of investments since Russia is expanding it's businesses outside of Russia and Egypt is a good spot for it's business for reaching Africa. So far Russia has started it's big plans for manufacturing Russian products in Suez region.

Well Saudis is also considerig s-400 purchase. There is a fear of Trump in arab world in my opinion. They want more of european and russian military and political support.

Chinese never provide political support no matter what you buy from them. Look venezuela.

And no one knows what Trump will do so they can be invaded anyday by this israeli puppet. Just look what their relations became for the kill of one journalist. US don't want their satellite state to be anything more than dogs.

And btw egypt got attacjed by USA in the form of spring revolution while they were good digs buying billions $ of us stuff. Just for fun they destroyed their country. Imagine now they try to have a good economical situation and stop being a US dog but instead have their own voice and don't support US for everything they say. Of course they could be attacked by them.

US is threatening Egypt with sanctions if they buy Su-35.

Lol
