Russia will put in Egypt 46 fighter MiG-29

Russia and Egypt have agreed a contract worth about 2 billion dollars, providing for the supply of 46 fighters MiG-29, which can be signed in the near future, according to the publication "Vedomosti" with reference to own sources.

The article notes that earlier the possibility of supplying the upgraded MiG-29 to the Egyptian side was announced by the Director General of the Russian Aircraft Building Corporation (RSK) MiG Sergey Korotkov.

It is worth noting that in 2014, the Russian Federation and Egypt signed an agreement for the supply of an anti-aircraft missile system C-300В4 worth at least half a billion dollars.

Konstantin Makienko, an expert at the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, noted that the contract for the supply of fighters for RSK MiG will open up the prospect of working for years ahead, since this is the largest order for the MiG-29 for the entire post-Soviet period.

Currently, RSK MiG is working on the implementation of two contracts for the supply of MiG-29K / KUB carrier-based fighters for the Indian Navy (29 machines) and the Russian Navy (24 machines). In addition, in 2014, a contract was signed providing for the supply of 16 MiG-29CMT fighters for the Russian Air Force.
Thus, in the case of signing a contract with Egypt, the corporation’s order book will almost double, which will provide it with work until about the 2020 year.

After many years of deflection under the USA and the West, people came to power in Egypt who want to pursue an independent policy. And our diplomats did a good job.

For me, so if the calculation will be in rubles it is very cool .......
Why is the ruble symbol inserted as a square ₽ ??? And the symbols of other currencies are $, €, £, no problem ???? "an accident? I don't think so! "

no, here are the prices for mig-29 in 2010, now it’s even cheaper

Military Parity. " The tiny former Soviet Republic of Moldova (eastern Romania) wanted to sell the entire fleet of MiG-29 fighters (31 aircraft), which it got after the collapse of the USSR. In 1997, 21 fighters were sold to the United States for training, technical analysis, these machines had equipment for the use of nuclear bombs. The price of each fighter was no more than $ 2 million.



Four other fighters were sold to Yemen at the same low price. Now Moldova is trying to get rid of the remaining six MiG-29 fighters. These aircraft are not in good shape and are offered to potential buyers at a price of $ 1 million apiece. The new MiG-29 costs $ 40 million or more. But these production fighters of the 80s can be an attractive investment. But maybe yes, maybe not.

At the end of 2008, Russia proposed to Lebanon to buy 10 MiG-29 fighters with a “big discount”, that is, for less than $ 2 million per car. It is worth noting that the annual operation of these machines (if they are still in a condition suitable for flights) can cost the same money

[Mikhaylych]

Egypt is unlikely to agree to the old MiGs, most likely the MiG-29M ++ (MiG-35 is being tested), in the amount of just two billion dollars. The price depends on the configuration. I rummaged around on an Internet, practically nothing remained of the Soviet stocks, which was not sold, rotted on "conservation", so most likely the planes are from scratch, and this is already expensive. If Egypt allowed itself "Rafali", then the MiGs can afford zero. The price is different, the old ones are one thing, and the new ones are completely different, and in terms of efficiency, these machines still have few rivals. The MiG-35 and the shipbuilder are not inferior to Western machines in terms of efficiency, resource and combat radius and combat effectiveness (and even more so in air combat) they surpass the F-16 and Hornet, their only rivals are Rafal and Typhoon. It was just that there was a time when the company was spreading rot (although now they do not give too much to run away). The MiG-29-9-12, for example, wins the BVB over the Su-30SM, the capabilities of the MiG-35 (MiG-29M2 +) are an order of magnitude higher, so they will not interfere with Egypt.

This is what we are discussing for what the non-ferrous scrap costs. For example, if I tell you that Venezuela is ready to give up its F-16s at the price of $ 1, due to the fact that they are outdated and there are no spare parts for them, does this mean that both the Israeli "Sufa" are worth one dollar, and the Israeli pilots fly on uniform scrap metal, which all over the world yearn to get rid of?

MIG purchase is a matter of country survival.

[donavi49]

This contract, as well as purchases in France, Egypt pays in the Arab tranche from the Saudis .


In general, Egypt is now following the Iraqi option. As the Islamists rage in the Sinai before the uprising in Fallujah and Anbar, they have already destroyed five tanks, captured several armored personnel carriers and promise to launch a general offensive this summer. On the other hand, in Libya, Islamists sworn allegiance to the Islamic State make their way to the Egyptian border - the port of Derna has been taken, there are battles for the air base and Rizan near Tobruk. Now IG Libya has two oil ports, Sirte and Derna.

Today, by the way, again a smuggling ship going to Sirte was bombed (the Turkish ship turned out to be the last time, by the way, this one is still unclear)

[Pomah]

the only question is ... again for beautiful words of promise or will they really pay for these devices?

What a news! Huge contract. He will greatly help the Mikoyanovsky Design Bureau, and indeed the whole country.

[Rakti-kali]

Russia and Egypt agree on a contract worth about 2 billion rublesproviding for the supply of 46 MiG-29 fighters,

our weapons are cheaper than analogues. Therefore, you can find money on it.

This is not f-35 with helmets

I hope that we are talking about green rubles.

A 2009 MiG cost $ 30 million. So you're right, we are talking about foreign "rubles". Unfortunately, this mistake is becoming common among Russian authors. Foreign people have been confusing billions with billions for a long time

This is not a fantasy, in general it turns out 10 times, at the price of the 1st Armata (as they say that the price of Armata is 400 million rubles)
Mig is an outdated aircraft. It’s not possible to fight Egypt with Israel, But to drive the Bedouins around Sinai, just right against Ethiopia and Libya

[Mikhaylych]

Give me the reasons why the MiG is outdated. The performance of his new models is unattainable even for cars such as the Rafale and Gripen. It surpasses all fighters in the world in terms of climb rate, and this is superiority in the BVB in the vertical plane. In Bulgaria, the MiG-29-9-12 gave a head start to the F-16 of the latest modification, even when, at the request of the F-16 pilots, the helmet-mounted guidance system was withdrawn from the MiG pilots (although in this case they seemed to have won several battles). So these are machines from the 80s, and new chances will not leave anyone. We, too, all said that MiGs were an anachronism and there was no place for them, then they still carried out training BVBs with the Su-30SM, they won the anachronisms (9-12), now Mr. Rogozin has calmed down. And since when did the cheapness of cars become a disadvantage? This has always been the advantage of Mikoyan's aircraft. The MiG-21 was at the price of the BMP-1, and how many western fighters it crumbled, and very expensive ones.

the Saudis give them loot for weapons in the amount of several billion.

The price somehow confused me. Maybe they made a mistake and mixed up the rubles with the dollars. 46 cars for 2 billion rubles are somehow not enough.

[Thronekeeper]

Well, actually, they were arguing, arguing with American and Israeli visitors, and the Saudis, Franks and the USA washed beautifully.
+ Egyptians will not get anywhere from the Su-35, they really need it.
And the Saudis will feed the Russian defense industry and pay for all the whims of Pharaoh Sisi, so that the strongest and most efficient army in the region would suddenly not remember the trans-Arabian route of Thutmose-3, Jedhor and the Ptolemies.
Egypt has nowhere to get away from the package modernization of the T-62, the upgrade of the Apache fleet, which they have with the impotent version of the AN-64A, the purchase of "crocs", weapons for old Soviet and American fighters and strikers.
Surely they will want "Yakhonts". And, in the long term, they will share with Bashar Hafizych how the Syria-Iran cross-re-export is going on now.
No matter how the Saudis hate Assad (they don’t hate Sisi much less) they will pay, because they are less afraid of secular pro-Russian military dictatorships than Islamic revolutionaries and Shiites of Iran. Or the Egyptians will decide that Saudi Arabia needs a new king, and oil prices need to be raised. Putin can help. Polite KR.

[veksha50]

"the contract for the supply of fighters will open up the prospect of work for years to come, since this is the largest order for the MiG-29 in the entire post-Soviet period" ...

Well, this is a good sign, at least for the MIG corporation, otherwise the Sukhoi Design Bureau is in favor, and light fighters are in the pen ... But both of them are needed ...

Well, Egypt ... It has always been cloudy, and in our Soviet times ... I bought it - a flag in his hands ... ONLY DO NOT GIVE IN A DEBT !!! Otherwise it will be necessary again for some political reasons to "forgive" the debts ...

[Roman 1977]

Russia will put in Egypt 46 fighter MiG-29
On the one hand, the news is pleasant - MAPO "MiG" must be urgently raised, if not already saved, including through foreign orders. On the other hand, the intensification of IS militants in Sinai, where they managed to inflict several defeats on the Egyptian security forces. Plus the stable instability in Libya, on the western border and the participation of the Egyptians in the operation against Yemen, where another Saudi F-16 was landed yesterday. So, there will be no problems with sponsors - the Saudis and other Qatars will pay ... And for Israel, Egyptian aviation is not terrible, which it has repeatedly (4 times) demonstrated in practice. The logic of the Egyptian generals is incomprehensible, who, according to the nomenclature of combat aircraft, decided to compete with India, since at present the Egyptian Air Force is an insane mixture of "bulldog and rhinoceros" from aircraft, Soviet, American, French, Chinese and German:
- X-NUMX American F-228 Fighting Falcon (16 F-178C, 16 UBS F-50D)

- 18 French Mirage 2000

- 82 Mirage V, various modifications

- 34 F-4 Phantom II

- 113 MiG-21 and its Egyptian clones Chengdu J-7

- 14 light attack aircraft Alpha Jet and another 54 aircraft in the version of the TCB, assembled in Egypt under license

- 120 Chinese K-8 Karakorum, of which 110 is collected in Egypt

- 47 Czech L-59 Super Albatros, there are 10 L-39 Albatros
- 54 Brazilian EMB 312 Tucano-assembled in Egypt.
To all this "splendor" are added 24 French Dassault Rafale (the contract has already been signed), 48 MiG-29 and 12 American Air Tractor AT-802

Anwar Saddat paid for the betrayal of the USSR not only with a bullet in a turnip, but also by turning the army into a dump of free American trash. There are phantom-makers and a bunch of absolutely ugly M-60 tanks. It was only under Mubarak that they began to receive a relatively modern thief from the United States, WTC - the last successful modification of Abramovich M1A1 with durable corundum ceramics, on HA and A2 there is already dioxiduranic sand, which holds the godfather better, but only dust flies from the OBPS. And the only remaining abrasive plant in the world (in the USA, production was discontinued in 1993), F-16 and Apache.
By the way, in 2008 I saw in Hurghada - after all, this is one of the main air bases on which the international airport was closed up, a Su-22 with a delivery combination of outdated Shrikes and new Russian P-73s. In 2010, I already flew to Luxor - away from the bzdykh, closer to the antiquities of Wasit and the suburbs, and did not see military aircraft for this reason. Have they already been cut? It seems that this drummer has a considerable reserve of modernization, it was stupid to melt for duralumin.
Well, training is training albatrosses.
F-16 not all S and Sshnykh there are many "wrong systems" for radar and RVV. They will just be "burned". Although I do not like LFI in general, and the F-16 is the most LFishny - MiG-21 amers assemblies, they can operate in the same ranks with the flashers with some unification of avionics and RVV, say, for R-77, and with authentic ones, just not with a plate and with "sparrows".
Rafali fed for free - good drummers will not interfere with nudyk.
And another forty dry MFIs are simply needed, since Egypt is not Switzerland and will not go far on some LFIs.
The bombers, in fact, Mirage-5 and LFI-shki of the 4th generation Mirage-2000 - in pharmacy quantities. But in terms of performance characteristics, they are close to F-16 and Migars.
Of course, it was necessary to mess and buy heavy Russian Sushki yesterday, but it would not hurt us to rock the dying MiG and get grandmothers for a fifty FFI.

Then Sisi with hemp products to them. Stolypin introduced 700 Salafi-Saudi litter. Moreover, it’s never the victims of the regime, but the real terror, which, given the anarchy of the Sharia-liberal-necrophiles, really blamed the Coptic Christians, the indigenous people and descendants of the ancient Egyptians, by the way, although they Islamized a lot.
The question is that Mursi should have painted an olive tree during his arrest, but there seems to be no reason to "hang him up later" - there was no power in the country, and you can't sew a humanitarian catastrophe of the Copts and a hunt for "secular" Muslims.
In the world of dofiga, there were and are only among current and retired state leaders candidates for a cannabis tie, if we count only war crimes. Barack Hussein, Saddam Hussein (he’s the same), Barack Ehud, Budak II, De Bill, Parashenka, Srakoshvili, your Benya Netanyahu.
Mursi did not commit explicit acts of genocide or military crimes. That is, to liquidate, so that it is not proper - it was necessary earlier. It is difficult to pull on medical devices with secular law and the absence of a state of emergency (martial law). Thank God that Sisi smeared 2,5k Shariah Liberians on the Maidan Tahrir of groats.
