Overview of the EAF Museum above the Il-14

Taking pride of place in the centre of the EAF Museum. At least 30 Tu-16s in various marks were acquired from 1962 and equipped three squadrons at Cairo West, Beni Suef and Aswan. Whole units were destroyed in the Six Day War in 1967 but measures were taken to limit losses the time of the Yom Kippur War in 1973. After relations with Moscow broke down, apparently Chinese Badger-copy H-6 bombers were also supplied. The last of the AS-1 Kennel air-to-surface missile equipped Tu-16K-11s and some of the H-6s may have soldiered on till 2000. The "TU-16" labelling is a recent, unfortunate addition!
