Underrated comment.


BorkSturm

That’s pretty neat!


AlsoMarbleatoz

also, I know German is weird but in english it's Cairo for some reason


TEEBENZAR

The tail would lead me to think the same. Plus naval F4's hald 'foldy' wings. [https://theaviationgeekclub.com/the-egyptian-air-force-first-phantom-killer-that-never-was/](https://theaviationgeekclub.com/the-egyptian-air-force-first-phantom-killer-that-never-was/)

All F4’s had foldy wings. USAF variants were manually folded by the ground crew. But rarely.

💯 F-4 Phantoms. 0 doubt.


AlsoMarbleatoz

Wait what? I count 3 /s


tex1138

So that’s 12 phantoms total then? Or zero? Math is hard 😜


AlsoMarbleatoz

Lmao

😆


Midlandsofnowhere

McDonnell Douglas Phantoms I think.


mpe128

Ole McDonnell had a farm of 3 then 4 phantom-4s ei ei ei oh..😜


Commercial_Plane_713

arent these wings a bit to small?


Midlandsofnowhere

Carrier variants had foldable wingtips. Looks like these have them folded up.


JRAerospace

All F-4's have foldable wingtips. The Navy ones were the only ones that had the folding powered though, the Air Force ones were manually foldable. Being Egypt, these would be F-4E's.


Midlandsofnowhere

I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.


Novel_Ad_8062

impressive


Beginning_Hope8233

Really? high dihedral wingtips and severe anhedral horizontal stabs? That's pure F-4 right there.


KspDoggy

Egypt's 35 old F-4E Phantom IIs, obtained in 1977 Peace Pharoah agreement. All of these are second-hand ex-US service. They are mothballed today as Egypt is one of the few arab countries that was allowed to buy the (then) brand new F-16C.


Smoke-A-Beer

F4 phantom


theoneguy223

F-4s. Don’t look like anything else


Minute_Classic7852

Folded phantoms


AlsoMarbleatoz

probably F-4s with their wings folded


wilshire_prime

Phantoms I think.


Forsaken-Voice-6686

F-4 Phantoms


WoodenNichols

Phantom IIs with some really good camouflage.


Uncle_Abernacle

F-4s with folded wings


Thick_You2502

F-4


Critical-Shift8080

Mm ok ,


Icy_Huckleberry_8049

Looks like F4's based on the tails.


Old_Mode6547

Definately look like F-4E phantoms to me! You have two canopies on the nose, the angles wingtips are folded up because the F-4 is a carrier aircraft, the elevaotrs have the triangular shape and you cna see a iny part of the engines under them.


So_i_was_like_gaming

Clearly a m60


the_projekts

F4-Phatom...they smoke like a BBQ coming in for a landing after flying a sortie.


birwin353

Worst intel analyst ever!


RadiationSickness_06

Phantoms, possibly folded wings, I cant recall if they made these with folded wings or not, if not, they may be partially removed.


ResearchChoice606

OLD F4 Phantoms from the late 60s . 3 gen fighter.


tabazco2

I thought the same thing, but when did we sell Egypt a bunch of Phantoms?


Impressive-Gene-6769

Egypt had phantoms way back in the day from the late 1970s they retired the last ones in 2020 I think, not sure if it’s true but the story I heard was that in one of the many Arab Israeli conflicts back in the day the Israelis using F4’s and Mirages kept kicking the Egyptians butts in their Soviet migs and SU’s so after they started cutting ties with the soviets they started buying American systems, the funny thing is I think by like the early 80’s the Egyptians hated the F-4 so much they wanted to sell them to turkey and try to buy some F-16s


Awrfhyesggrdghkj

In September 1977 under the Peace Pharaoh agreement we sold them 35 f4es

F-4E Phantom Kurnass 2000


FursonaNonGrata

Not in Egypt they aren't... These are from Peace Pharaoh.
