Egypt is officially the first customer of the Russian fighter Su-35 in the Middle East and Africa

[The SC]

That contract, from what I know, did not take place. Egypt seemed interested in MiG-35 but ended up going for MiG-29.

Russia did not make Mig-29 for years now.. Egypt got advanced Mig-29 M/M2..and that name was dropped..it is Mig-35..

Egypt is a rich country..It was mismanaged before... and its military was saving money for almost 30 years..So even if they have saved just $1 billion a year..you can do the math.. it is at least $30 billion saved.. Just $10 billion was spent so far..A lot is still to come..

Mismanaged by who? Except for a brief democratic period Egypt has continuously been governed by its military. Egypt's economy has for a long time been controlled and run by its military. Even during that brief democratic period, the Egyptian military does not appear to have surrendered its control over the economy. I don't think the Egyptian military has been saving anything. Instead, they have been collecting. They can simply divert as many financial resources as they want for the betterment of their personnel and for purchasing military items. Pakistan Army is infamously taunted for being "state within the state" but the Egyptian military is the state itself.

Egypt has more cards than Turkey.. you are just ignorant of the facts..
The US stopped the delivery of the F-35 and kicked out Turkey from its production..So it is mostly related to endangering the F-35.. The US knows better because all the F-35s' data is sent to an air force base in US..!!!!!!!!
On the other hand This procurement of Egypt does not pose any danger to the US national security and that matters a lot in the difference between the two cases..

Your argument is null and void when there’s literally russian S400 together with all other short/medium air defense systems creating perfect multi-layered air defense that covers entire Israel which is direct contradiction to american claims
Read the latest report about the indispensable role of Turkey about F-35 production(turkish companies will continue delivering until 2022)
You are saying that Su-35 doesn’t pose a security threat to US yet you are constantly used Usrael when you refer to Israel...
Su-35 is certainly something that Israel and its lobby in US won’t like...
The only card that Egypt holds is turning blind eye when Israel is about to annex Weat Bank settlements in 2 months
Egypt is under IMF and Gulf money control
It’s a desert country with too much population the moment money from Gulf(under strong american control) or money from IMF(total american control) there will be civil war for lack of food!!!
So once again Egypt has no cards for bargaining claiming otherwise is total detachment from reality on the ground

Su-35 is aimed at Turkey, not as Israel. Egypt has good relation with Israel since the 90s.

What’s to stop Egypt from bombing Ethiopia’s dam?

You have to wait until Taftan border to reopens.

Ok one thing , we are not enemies with Turkey.
the regime is something (along with its toys) and the people is something else.

abotu su-35, it's a good approach but not just 26, the more will be better along with gettin rid of f-16s and replace them either with j-10c or mig-35 (with aesa) or the new block of jf-17.

it's known that there will be no more rafales, it already happened before with mirage-2000 deal .. french are nasty but we are stupid cuz we never learn.

so probably 100 su-35 + 100mig29m (with aesa)+ at least 100 J-10c will do the job.

not to mention we have to put our hands on the stealth drone CH-7, it has a good capability with anti radiation and anti ship missiles.

When it comes to Egypt, my main concern is israeli spies. A country can have the most powerful military in the region, but if it doesn't have powerful intelligence agencies to protect it from the enemy, then it's vulnerable .... exposed! The only reason why israelis don't bother about what Jazeerat-ul-Arab buys (military hardware) is because it's got the saudis in their back pocket. So I would be very concerned if israel doesn't take Egypt's military build-up, as a cause for concern.

lots of funny comments in a military forum

You are right egyptian F-16s are useless without BVR missile(which unfortunately will never come) rafales are great as long as meteor is included in the deal su-35 are also very good option
Jf-17 block 3 is maybe the best option as it will have aesa radar new avionics and new weapons(I don’t know name of the new chinese missile maybe pakistani members can explain better) it’s probably the best 4++ fighter when it comes to cost(affordable maintenance) and effectiveness
Drones are must for every army(they can be used against both insurgents/terrorists and conventional enemy)

Egypt's military has its own budget..set apart from the state's budget..that is all you need to know..
