The ‘Nile Valley’ camouflage scheme appeared on Egyptian aircraft at the end of the seventies. The Egyptian command concluded that the two color scheme
as delivered by the Soviets was inadequate for combat in the Middle East. The result was a scheme composed of three tones on the upper surfaces.
The front of the nose was adorned with the head of the ‘Red Demon’, but the relevance of this is still uncertain. It is possible that it is a unit marking.
