As it moved away from relying on Soviet types, the Egyptian Air Force acquired around 100 Mirage 5s in a variety of marks - 5SDD, 5DE, 5DR and 5E. Most were second-hand from Saudi Arabia and the UAE. They have now all been withdrawn from service although the Mirage 2000 continues to operate. In 2022 Pakistan was negotiating with Egypt to obtain 36 surplus Mirage 5s to add to its large fleet.
