It won't really be much of a fight. Those Israeli pilots are trained damn near as good as ours...the Egyptian ones, not quite so much.

I'm sure the Israeli's also have installed some of their own first-class technology on their F-16's. Remember, they have military contractors that are smaller, but rival in technology our own!

I completely agree. The Israeli Air Force is wold class practically untouchable in the region. It would truly be a bloodbath for Egypt head to head and I don't think they would be so stupid to engage directly and solely.

If we were to use the countries the teamed up on Israel in the 6 day war (maybe add a few) as a model for who the United States plans to arm in the near future I think it will be obvious what we are doing. Egypt I fear will just be the first of many countries we will arm. Overtly and covertly.

Egypt to Receive F-16s
The State Department has refused to cancel or delay the delivery of several American-made F-16 fighter jets to Egypt, claiming that the arms deal serves America’s “regional security interests,” according to an official State Department document obtained by the Free Beacon.
The news that the Obama administration would uphold an aid package to Egypt that included the military hardware prompted concern on Capitol Hill from lawmakers who said the deal was not prudent given the political situation in Egypt, where Muslim Brotherhood-backed President Mohammed Morsi has clashed with democratic protestors.

Makes one wonder if the bible he just swore his oath of office wasn't a koran instead. He scares me
