PARIS — France
appears to have won precious time on the Rafale program, with Egypt buying the
twinjet fighters in an arms package worth €5.2 billion (US $5.9 billion),
relieving domestic budgetary pressure.
Egypt has decided to buy 24 Rafale fighter jets and a
multi-mission frigate, with a contract signing to be held in Cairo on Feb. 16,
President François Hollande said in a Feb. 12 statement.
