Middle East Eye: Egypt signs $2bn deal for 50 fighter jets from Russia
Egyptian Air Force has signed a military agreement to buy 50 MiG-35 warplanes from Russia the US’ National Interest reported on Saturday.
The $2 billion deal, the largest in the post-Soviet era, was signed between Cairo and Moscow in April 2015, under which Egypt will receive the warplanes by 2020. It comes following joint negotiations that took place between the two countries in November 2013 over Egypt’s purchase of 24 MiG-29M fighter jets from Russia.
MiG-35 is a revision of the basic MiG-29. The aircraft features a more robust multi-role capability with enhanced use of air-to-air and air-to-ground high-precision weapons. Also, it has an increased combat range owing to an increase in its internal fuel capacity.

Obama administration set to suspend military and economic assistance to Egyptian government in protest at Morsi ousting
Obama was in love with Morsi who carried the flag of radical Islam. There were wet smooches all the time.
In 2013 Sisi deposed Morsi, who could not run a country (the current account was empty), Obama embargoed Egypt and Egypt then went to the Russians.
Way to go Obama Way to Go!
Obama what a compleat moron!
