One of my "
older" projected issues I've mentioned in the forum were projects going back to 
2014/2015 mine concerned the same jets but a different country-
BRAZIL. And I'll leave that there.
But concerning 
EYGPT and the 
MIRAGE 5SDE (Specifically.) and the 
MIRAGE 2000EM (Specifically), I'll try to make Marks case for him differently that maybe he might not be aware of himself 

, there 
exists at least a ten year gap between the two aircraft in their respective delivery dates to 
EYGPT, that in of itself should be enough reason I would think to get the 
MIRAGE 5SDE entered.
The next is from of course, 
SIPRI which I consider the "
great arbitrator" for such issues as these.
20	Mirage-2000	FGA aircraft	(1983)	
1986-1988 (Delivered-Mine)	(20)	$1 b deal (incl production of components in Egypt); 
Mirage-2000EM version; incl 
4 Mirage-2000BM trainer version
     		
38	Mirage-5	FGA aircraft	1973	
1973-1975 (Delivered-Mine)	(38)	Financed by Saudi Arabia; Mirage-5SDE version; incl 
6 Mirage-5SB trainer version
EYGPT would order 
34 total more 
MIRAGE-5 aircraft...
14	Mirage-5	FGA aircraft	1975	
1977	14	Financed by Saudi Arabia; 
Mirage-5SDE version
14	Mirage-5	FGA aircraft	1977	
1980	14	Financed by Saudi Arabia; 
Mirage-5SDE version; 
incl 6 Mirage-5SDR reconnaissance version
16	Mirage-5	FGA aircraft	1980	
1983	(16)	
Mirage-5E2 version (I believe if memory serves, these are the 
more advanced French Air Force versions.) 
And finally, just to wrap up all the Jet Fighters bought from France by EYGPT...
24	Rafale	FGA aircraft	2015	
2015-2019	24	Part of $5.2-6 b deal; incl 
8 Rafale-EM and 
16 Rafale-DM version
My search criteria Supplier France/Recipient Egypt/Aircraft/
1970-2020.
Make 
no mistake there are differences between these types. I hate "
cookie cutters" especially when it comes to tanks and combat aircraft.
Oh!, because I can 
F-35 FOC by 2023? Don't hold your breath, I really wish 
that we would make this right in the game since we do it with the tanks etc. which is our "
main purpose" I believe.
Anyway...I only hope those that read the next, will read it as carefully as I have. 
Israel is the ONLY country to declare their F-35 jets at FOC and they're also already modifying them to suit their needs. Of course as I've already posted.
