It's not but it's still one of the cheaper modern rifles in this category on the market.

I don't think the URAL-4320 with armoured cabin and M-46 howitzer was accepted into service, never seen it outside of this one exercise. MoD likes to reuse footage of it into newer videos though. However, the URAL-4320 with D-30 was accepted into service and you can see it on one of the photos...

Very interesting project, sadly it never progressed beyond prototype phase and I doubt it ever will. If this was accepted, it would make up for a very decent IFV. Sinai-23 doesn't have anything in common with EIFV, besides the M113 chassis. Sinai is much older project from 80s/90s and it's a...

Yeah, that is Panthera T6 with IED jammer. I'm still trying to find the name of that IED jammer though. Also, I've seen these a few times before in videos published by MoD from Sinai operations, I didn't download them but it shouldn't be that hard to find them. They are rarely on Temsahs as...

Streit Sand ATV used by Egyptian SOF shown on latest exercise. Egypt seems to have a modified version with armoured windshield that wasn't shown on any exhibited pieces previously.

Very nice, YPR-765 PRAT (TUA turret) and Jeep J8 with Ahmad ATGM (Malyutka). First time I see movement of military vehicles by train, I wondered if Egypt uses them just like many countries. Finally some pics of Egyptian military vehicles instead of mostly debating what Egypt could get in the...

I know it's a mine clearing vehicle on M60 tank chassis used in Sinai operations. It has camera in the turret and slat armour on the sides but I don't think it's remotely operated. Most likely only driven by a driver and perhaps also one more crew member. Anyway, I'd love to know official...

Does anyone have more pictures of this BAE Caiman version with what looks like an IED jammer?

Correct, just one more thing, the REVA Mk.III 4x4 in the picture actually belongs to Yemen goverment. Photo was taken prior to Houthi takeover of Sanaa in 2014. I also want to add that REVA Mk.V seems to be much less common compared to Mk.III in RDF. Some photos of Egyptian REVAs from my...

Thank you for your kind words! They didn't, if they did, we would have seen at least a few during 2011 and some years later. Despite Egypt being quite secretive with some of its systems, you cannot hide 425 tanks. There was also a really good article on them, I'll link it later if I manage to...

Yes, both pics I shared were T-55s, addition of M68 105mm gun (US license modified copy of famous British L7) makes them T-55E MkII Ramses, E means Egyptian and Mk.II is the only version of Egyptian T-55 that features M68 105mm gun, unlike the earlier examples that still retain the old 100mm gun...

It is T-62E Model 1960, it has 115mm gun with bore evacuator closer to middle of the barrel rather than end of the barrel like on T-55 with it's 100mm gun. It's E as "Egyptian" model because it has smoke launchers, numerous boxes and some other changes. Anyway, this picture is from Luxor, but...

Here's the rest I have, sorry for spamming, guys. If you have more pictures, specially of vehicles from this period, I would be very grateful. Also a lot of the photos have terrible quality, unfortunately I cannot do anything about it. ZSU-23-4 Shilka SA-3 HAWK M109 SM-4-1 130mm M-46...

I'm mainly interested in vehicles, so I most of the times only download those. Anyway, here is my collection. I have a lot of photos from Arab spring, but I won't post these, they are available at Milinme blog. Early 2000-2012: (4K51 Rubezh) ATS-59G Sakr-36 MLRS BMP-1 (super low quality)...

This is actually a very good idea! Egyptian workshops already have some experience with modifying T-55 tanks (as demonstrated by T-55 ammunition carriers shown here). There were some more modifications too, on both platforms. Egypt's BMP fleet is shrinking and too old, there is of course...

Regarding the T-62s with Swingfires, only a few were modified (my guess is around 10), some also had smoke launchers instead of Swingfire ATGMs. They weren't used for a long time, or at least appart from this parade and two exercises from 80s I haven't seen them. Maybe it didn't work that well...

It is Egyptian T-62. It has BMP-3 fire control system and thermal sleeve on it's 115mm gun. I think this is RO-115 Mk.I, but I also believe this vehicle was never adopted in service, as I haven't seen more pictures of it in service. So it probably only served as testbed/prototype before T-62E...

It's YPR-765/AIFV, very common IFV in Egyptian army. They were purchased in late 90s from Netherlands (YPR-765) and Belgium (AIFV).

Yeah, they had one of the best AT weapons back then, RPG-29… and then IEDs, Konkurs etc. Ukrainians also use RPGs a lot, I’m kinda surprised how Stugna-P performs, even against tanks with ERA.

I don't think you can compare these 2 scenarios as Abrams performed fairly well against AT weapons, in fact very well. Few were completly destroyed, some were damaged but their performance was actually good. T-tanks in Ukraine on the other hand, not so much... a lot of them are catastrophic...
