Posted on May 06, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Egyptian Air Force
Even though Egyptian is in turmoil, the situation does not affect the force of Egyptian Air Force that is being continuously upgraded until now.
Royal Egyptian Air Force (REAF), the origin of Egyptian Air Force, was established in 1982 when the Egyptian parliament suggested that Egypt should possess air force as soon as possible. The will of the Egyptian parliament came true in 1930, when the king of Egypt and Sudan, Fuad I announced the establishment of the Egyptian Army Air Force (EAAF). A year later (September 1931) EAAF began to receive a number of aircrafts operated as training aircrafts.
The first aircrafts operated by REAF were 10 de Havilland units bought from the British. The first commander in charge of EAAF was not an Egyptian but a pilot from Canada who once had become a squad commander in his country; Victor Hubert Tait. During Tait leadership, Egypt has bought dozens of Avro 626 units and Hawker Audax.
The development in Egyptian Air Force was growing stronger and in 1937 there was a separation between the force of the Army and the Air Force. At that time REAF was also established with Suez Strait and Western Desert as their base. After REAF was formed, Egypt bought two squadrons of the latest aircraft from the British; Gloster Gadiator and Westland Lysander. Those aircrafts were later operated during the Israel – Palestine War in 1948.
When World War II broke out, some of Egyptian territories were used as British aircraft base. At that time Egypt was still a neutral country and was still a British colony. After World War II had ended, because of Egypt’s neutrality and their cooperation towards the British, the EAAF were awarded with modern aircrafts such as Hawker Hurricane, Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk, Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX, and also bought a trainer-aircraft from Italy; Macchi MC205V.
Arab – Israel War
When British troops were pulled out of Palestine after World War II and the establishment of Israel in May 14th, 1948, there was a conflict between Israel and Palestine that involved EAAF air force. Egypt which at that time was a member of Arabian League sent their aircrafts to assist Palestine’s people struggle. The aircrafts which were placed in the Israel – Palestine war were C-47 Dakota as bombers and a number of Spitfires. During the battle, 2 Israelis aircrafts were shot down by Egyptian Spitfire. However on May 22nd, Egyptian Spitfire attacked RAF base at Palestine, Ramat David which was predicted to had been controlled by Israel.
The sudden attack made the RAF base was in chaos, a number of aircrafts destroyed, and dozens of ground crews killed. However on the second attack, RAF defense troops at Ramat David were more prepared and managed to defeat all Egyptian Spitfires. The war between colleagues as a result of misunderstanding finally could be ended peacefully. When the relationship had been recovered, Egypt bought more British latest aircrafts such as Spitfire Mk22, Gloster Meteor F4 fighter jets, and de Havilland Vampire FB 5.
However, British – Egypt relationship was not always well. In 1955, when their relationship was worsened, Egypt which at that time was lead by President Gamal Abdel Nasser marked the end of Egypt monarch in doing a revolutionary program. To fulfill the requirement of Egyptian air force that changed its name into Egyptian Air Force (EAF), they started to turn their head to Soviet Union. A number of aircrafts were bought from Soviet such as MiG-15 fighter jets, Ilyushin IL-28 bombers, Il-14 transporter, and Yak-1 trainer.
Soviet did not only sell their aircrafts to Egypt, they also participated in building REAF organization and infrastructure. Thanks to that massive air force, Egypt began to show its power by taking control of Suez Strait that triggered the battle at Suez Strait. Politically and economically, Egypt won the battle after the withdrawing of British and French troops from Suez, also by regaining control of Suez Strait into Egypt’s hand.
The influence and strength of Egyptian Air Force after winning over the crisis at Suez had made them the most influenced and feared Air Force. In 1967, the Arab – Israel War which was better known as The Six Day War broke out again. Egypt was involved in the war by assisting Arab. But before Egypt prepared all of their fleets to strike Israel, Israelis fighter jets managed to do a pre-emptive strike that caused a great loss for Egyptian Air Force. However Egypt did not feel discouraged and rebuilt their force by purchasing new fighter jets such as MiG-21 MF, anti-aircraft missile, low-altitude flying training to avoid radar, and many more.
In October 1973, the Israel – Arab War or known as Yom Kippur War broke out once more. This time Arab struck first, including Egyptian Air Force, that used this air strike to get even with the Israelis. 220 Egyptian aircrafts attacked Israel supported by ground forces that were equipped with static, mobile, or carried anti aircraft missile such as SA-3 Pechora defense missile, SA-6 Gainful vehicle missile, ZSU-23-4SP, and SA7 carried missile.
One of Egyptian Air Force advantages happened during the air combat at El Mansoura. In the dog fight that lasted for an hour and involving more than 180 aircrafts, Egyptian Air Force managed to take down 15 Israelis aircrafts including F-4 Phantom and A-4 Skyhawk.
During the air combat that lasted for about 20 days, Egyptian Air Force and their anti-aircraft missile showed their dominance. 102 Israelis aircrafts of different types were taken down. The Arab – Israel War II had also forced the UN to interfere and persuaded both parties to resolve the conflict in a peaceful way. The Yom Kippur War was finally ended with a truce in October 22nd, 1973.
After experiencing many combat that had shown that Air Force was very crucial in deciding the outcome of a war, Egyptian Air Force continued to build their strength. Egyptian President, Anwar Sadat, who gained popularity after the Yom Kippur War became more encouraged to build Egyptian Air Force. Aircrafts that were bought in later time did not only come from Soviet Union but also from US, France, China, England, Italy, Czech, and many other countries. Not only purchasing, Egyptian flight industry was also developed and trusted to produce a number of SH-3 and CH-47 airplane components.

The Current Condition
Egyptian Air Force achieved their glory in 1989. At that time Egyptian Air Force had more than 550 aircrafts and 30.000 Air Force personnel. Jets owned by them were 67 units of F-16A/C, 33 units of F-4E, 60 units of Mirage 2000, hundreds of MiG made by Soviet and China, 50 units of Pucara and many others. Entering the year 2000, Egypt continued to add their aircrafts with the most modern aircrafts such as F-15 Strike Eagle, MiG-29 SMT, and Yak-130. However the Egyptian’s will to possess F-15 was tackled by the Israel.
In 2007, Egypt still showed their ambition to possess the most powerful Air Force in Middle East by signing a contract for purchasing 25 units of Su-35 from Russia. 20 units of F-16 Block 52 had also been accepted by Egypt including their weapons; Mk-84 GP smart bomb.
Under the leadership of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, which once had become Egyptian Air Force Chief of Staff, EAF strength was continued to be upgraded. Not only purchasing new aircrafts, Egypt also upgraded their MiG-21 to become aircrafts that were able to answer modern challenge. Upgrade cooperation with Ukrainian aviary was committed to install R-73 missile integrated with Helmet Mounted Sight, target locator Kopyo Radar, and many others.
Until now, because of the upgrading program and purchasing of new aircrafts, Egyptian Air Force possess 220 units of F-16, 19 units of Mirage 2000, 32 units of upgraded F-4 Phantom, 60 units of Dassault Mirage V, 26 units of C-130 Hercules, 6 units of E-2C Hawkeye AWACS which have been upgraded into Hawkeye 2000 so that they possess AEW&C ability, and dozens of training aircraft K-8E bought from China
