مبروك لمصر أي إضافة لها هي إضافة للعرب لكن هاته العمرة تخص المحركات فقط بمعدل 24 محرك كل سنة شخصيا لا أظن أن مصر و لا أمريكا يريدان تطوير ال f16
مصر ستتجه لفرنسا و روسيا و الصين
أمريكا تحاول عرقلة الجيش المصري العظيم
هذا نص خبر الاتفاق و بما أن jane"s تحدث عن اتفاق قديم فهذا هو من سنة 2009 و توقف بعد ما حدث في مصر من تغييرات سياسية
أتمنى لو تصفى العلاقات التركية المصرية تفكر مصر في التطويرات التركية التي تعرضها شركة اسيلسان و التي استعانت بها باكستان مؤخرا
