Someone very close to Dassault (in fact working for it) on a French forum. Egypt planned for a long time to upgrade them to the F3R standard anyway.

The contract also includes the upgrade of the Rafale currently in service within the EAF to the F3R standard.

I believe their interest in the Typhoon (I could be wrong let's see) as well as interests on other European countries' hardware was more to put pressures on France to come with better terms on the contracts and to drop human rights BS Macron told Al-Sissi about.... the Egyptians showed us it...

Given the UAE has ordered the F35 I think we can take out the UAE off the list. (Unless they would operate both) There's a 75% to 100% probability Greece and India would order more Rafale. Prospects are also looking very good in Croatia and Indonesia. The probability for the Rafale to be...

With this new order France has now exported 144 Rafale ! Egypt : 54 Rafale India : 36 Rafale Qatar : 36 Rafale Greece : 18 Rafale Including the French order of 225 aircrafts it means Dassault would have produced 369 Rafale ! That doesn't include additionnal orders or possible future customers.

Hulusi Akar said on monday 53 PKK members were neutralized so far while 7 Turkish soldiers lost their lives in the ongoing operation.

If "I understood" correctly what's proposed,France would buy and transform 6 A330 to the MRTT configuration (given the crisis the aviation sector is going through,it won't be hard to buy A330s at a bargain price) then lease them on a long term to India. I think this is a win-win for everyone...

Ok I took an appointment for the first dose of the pfizer vaccine on thursday.
