It's a national interest and goal of Egypt to diversify its sources of weapons in order to avoid any kind of pressure from any supplier during any probable confrontation in future in which you may need a lot of ammunition and spare parts. Despite being considered as an US-ally, Egypt can't fully...
This may happen, but we have to know first what are the Russian systems and equipment that Egypt will purchase from Russia besides the Kamov 52 helicopters for the Mistrales. I wonder if those Russian systems which will be sold to Egypt as declared by the Russian presidency would be able to...
Rafale .. Mirage 2000 .. 220-240 F16s .. Mig 35 .. and other fighters (French Mirage 5, French Alphajet, 70+ F4-Phantoms which are out of service, Russian Migs and Chinese F-7), but I agree with you I hope we get the Su35 and other advance fighters.
Egypt is already in negotiations with France for a second Fremm .. The Russians announced that Egypt will buy 82 Kamov 52 (50 Ka-52 for the EAF whose contract was already signed may be one or two months ago, and 32 Ka-52 K for the two Mistrales) .. Egypt will get NH-90 for submarines too on...
Egypt refused to sign the CISMOA that's why we're using AIM-7 Sparrow missiles, but Micas ER/IR and Meteors (may be black shaheens too) are included with the Rafale deal and with our Mirage 2000 .. Egypt also will purchase 46 Mig 35 with R-77.
Egypt has made the following deals which cost more...
Try again for what and why? our Egyptian lands are fully liberated and we're enjoying the stunning sun and beach in Sharm el Sheikh each summer and winter :D
Yeah the Isralei sole brigade could cross the canal via the gap between the 2nd and 3rd Egyptian armies (which was discovered by the...
Now we can count the last Egyptian deals as the following:
France
24 Rafales to be equipped with Meteors, Micas and black shaheens
Fremm frigate (another one under negotiations)
4 Gowind corvettes (negotiations for 3 more)
2 Mistrales
Sagem Patroller UAV to be locally produced in Egypt
Germany...
hahaha which lose? we kicked the Israeli as*es and destroyed their Barlef line which, according to them, was the strongest defense line in the history which needed nuclear bombs and both the American and Russian armies combined to destroy it, and guess what? we destroyed it using high power...
I can't mention this one who was saying that Egypt can never get the Mistrales and other bullsh*t may be due to tehcnical problem in the site.
But I wanna ask him about his opinion now :D .. The two mistrales are officially Egyptians, not only one but both of them, and they are not Canadians or...
Hahaha You don't even have @sses after the French have burnt them and slaughtered 1.5 millions of you like chickens .. not to mention the 250000 monkey who were slaughtered by terrorists in the 90th .. You should bow and kiss feet of your Egyptian masters who saved your @sses from the French...
We must stand with our brothers and allies whatever were the consequences, but in the same time we don't want a sectarian war in the region while other countries like Israel is building its military via acquiring the top notch of the American high tech weapons and technology, and as we know full...
I know that's why I said some jets that (were) / (or) planned to be out of service, but I don't remember that we replaced them with other alternatives, just like the Egyptian Tu-16 strategic bombers which were out of service years ago without replacement or at least conversion to be used as tankers.
I think the coming purchases till now are 24 Rafales (the first three jets to be delivered in 2015) + 12 more F16 block 52+ with CFT + Antey 2500 air defense system from Russia + 4 German type 209 diesel submarines, the first one to be delivered in 2016 insha'allah + Fremm Frigate + Gowind-class...
The contract states that the first three fighters along with the Fremm frigate should be delivered before August 2015 to attend the opening of the new Suez Canal.
The French daily newspaper Le Figaro reported that Egypt will receive the first three Rafale jet fighters from France this summer...
Acquiring AMRAAMs for F16s from America depends mainly on signing the CISMOA agreement, but still there are a lot of alternatives from other suppliers, and techniques to be used with the allowed American ammunition without signing the agreement.
That's right .. Egypt is currently using French...
Egyptian stealth Ambassador MK III Missile Boat
''Cairo'' FREMM frigate .. Included in the last Egyptian deal with France
Egyptian F16 Block 52 equipped with CFT
Egyptian air force has BVR capability, but if you mean the Egyptian F16s in particular and the AIM-120 issue, the US refused to give Egypt AIM-120 missiles due to the Egyptian refusal to sign the CISMOA agreement which was signed by all the Arab and Islamic countries which purchase weapons from...
