Jedan od razloga moguce egipatske nabavke
Citat:To maintain Israel's military superiority, Egypt is restricted from obtaining beyond visual range missiles, leading Egypt to potentially seek the J-10C from China, considering perspectives from both the US and France.
Citat:While Egypt's efforts to acquire the Eurofighter Typhoon and U.S-made F-15 fighter jets are likely to be greenlighted, especially after Germany had agreed to dropped its opposition to selling these fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, the most-populous Arab country nevertheless, will not be getting the "full package" in terms of its Beyond Visual Range weaponary.
Similar to what had happened during the acquisition of Rafale fighter jets from France, Egypt is expected to face the same fate if it opts for the Eurofighter Typhoon, meaning that Cairo will not be getting the “full package” oleh the fighter aircraft.
The Egyptian will likely be deprived from getting the “full package,” the Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air-to-air missiles like the “Meteor” BVR and other strategic weaponry attached to the aircraft.
The refusal by France and the United States to provide Egypt with the “full package” of Beyond Visual Range weaponary is mainly due to Paris and Washington insistance of maintaining Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge (QME) over Egypt and other Arab neighbours.
Although Israel may not object to the sale of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets to Egypt, there are indications that Israel may veto any sale of the “Meteor BVR” air-to-air missiles or any other makes of Beyond Visual Range missiles to Egypt.
A similar situation occurred when Egypt purchased Rafale fighter jets, where Israel opposed any French efforts to equip the fighter jets sold to Cairo with the Meteor Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missiles.
