Egypt will receive on Thursday three new Rafale jet fighters from France as second batch of the Rafale deal.

The Armed Forces will celebrate today the joining of the jets to the Egyptian Air Force.

The fighters are expected to fly at the afternoon over Cairo, Giza and 6th of October cities.

The joining of the new fighters is considered a qualitative step, a military source said, adding that these jets will increase the capacity of the Armed Forces to preserve security and stability in the Middle East.
