War flag

[Army flag] image by Željko Heimer

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.

Military colour

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.

I saw in Cairo an Egyptian Air Force flag, Royal Air Force blue with the national flag in the canton, 1/3 the hoist, and with the roundel centred in the fly.

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.
