La Tribune: Egypt may buy Rafales

La Tribune reported that Egypt is close to signing a deal for 20 Rafale fighters. The paper said Dassault’s CEO Éric Trappier traveled to Cairo on Jan. 15 for the negotiations.

Talks started after Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s visit to France last November. In December, a team from Egypt was in Paris for ten days to hammer out the details.
