War flag

[Army flag] image by Zoltan Horvath, 28 May 2024

National flag with two white crossed sabres in canton.
It seems that this flag is always shown in sources with escutcheon coloured, whether that is due to some internal armed forces regulations following the standard more rigorously, or if it is result that these flags are produced by one and the same manufacturer.

The website at http://www.bmlv.gv.at/cms/artikel.php?ID=1997 (image at http://www.bmlv.gv.at/pool/img/a01_196.jpg) shows this flag with the arms in yellow only.

Military colour

[Army flag] image located by M. Schmöger, 25 November 2006

This photo shows an Egyptian military colour hoisted on a modified T-62 tank. The photo was taken in the 1970ies, probably. The flag is a vertical bicolour (dark-white), showing the Egyptian arms in the canton and the national flag on a sun-like device in the center.

The Air Defence Force flag is pale green with the national flag in the canton, 1/3 the hoist, and with the Force badge centred in the fly.

The badge is not described, but I think that what is shown on the Egyptian Government website is that badge.
Željko Heimer, 21 July 2001

The Egyptian Air Defense Forces or EADF or EADC (Arabic: قوات الدفاع الجوي‎, Quwwat El-Difa' El-Gawwi), is the Anti-aircraft warfare branch of the Egyptian Armed Forces. Responsible for protecting the Egyptian airspace against any hostile air attacks. Forces established in accordance with the Presidential Decree issued on February 1, 1968, which provided for the establishment of the Air Defense Forces as a branch of a major third of the armed forces next to Navy a fourth next to the Army, Air force, formerly part of the artillery and under the operation command of the Air Force.
