US still plans to send F-16s to Egypt in coming weeks

The United States plans to deliver four more F-16 fighter jets to Egypt in the coming weeks, US defense officials told Reuters on Wednesday, even after the military-backed overthrow of the country's elected president.

"There is no current change in the plan to deliver F-16s to the Egyptian military," one US official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. A second official said the deliveries were likely in August. (Reuters)
