Egypt receives last three Rafale fighter jets from France

Egypt received its final shipment of Rafale fighter jets from France’s Dassault Aviation with the arrival of the last three aircrafts over the weekend, defenceWeb says. Egypt had signed an EUR 5.2 bn agreement with France in 2015 for 24 Rafale jets, Fremm naval frigate and MBDA air-to-air missiles. We noted last month that Egypt could be weeks away from signing another agreement with France for 12 Rafale jets and two Gowind Corvettes.
