Egypt plans to buy 24 more Rafale jets from France
Egypt is moving towards expanding its fleet of French Rafale fighter jets through a new order that includes an additional 24 aircraft from Dassault Aviation, bringing the total number of fighters in its air force to 78. Egypt initially signed a deal with France in 2015 to purchase 24 fighters, and later strengthened its fleet with a 2021 contract to buy an additional 30 aircraft at a cost of approximately 3.95 billion euros, raising the total number of fighters to 54 by 2026. If the new deal goes through, the total number will reach 78 Rafale fighters, enhancing the capabilities of the Egyptian Air Force.
