DTN News: Falcon Country....NSI News Source Info # 1128(NSI News Source Info) KOTTAKKAL, Kerala, India - October 17, 2010: In Egypt, the old air force is fading fast, and the emerging one looks like it s American counterpart. That's because Egypt is one of the largest operators of the F-16 Fighting Falcon (number 4, actually ), and has 195 in service and another 25 on order.
Egypt is also buying new accessories for their F-16s, including targeting and reconnaissance digital camera pods as well as defense electronics (radar and missile detectors.) Another order for 24 F-16/50/52 fighters is pending. This new order would give Egypt 244 F-16s. Some of the 38 older F-16A/B models are being either upgraded or retired. The rest are C or D models.
