​

Egypt obtained the rights to transfer the technology to manufacture the Chinese DF-15 ballistic missile, nicknamed “The Terrifying”, from which Egypt owns more than 150 missiles of various classes, and it was recently developed in Egypt in 2015 at the Abu Zaabal missile factories to the latest CSS-6 Mod 2 version.

Several Western sources reported that Egypt obtained the technology to manufacture the latest class of the DF-15 missile, known as DF-15C (CSS-6 Mod 2) after President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s visit to Beijing in December 2014.

China first revealed the DF-15C developed missile in 2013, and the most important feature of this developed missile is that it has a warhead that has the ability to penetrate the ground to a distance of 25 meters of reinforced concrete, and Chinese media also reported that the DF-15C developed missile has a greater range of 850 kilometers, the warhead of the missile now includes a terminal guidance system for the radar in order to maneuver to evade ground defenses, and the accuracy of the missile in the probability of error rate became only 25 meters after it was 150-300 meters. Egypt owns all copies of the missile A, B and C, and each version has advantages that are unique compared to the other versions.

Specifications of the DF-15 (CSS-6) missile

- A single-stage solid-fuel ballistic missile.

- The missile is 9.1 m long and 1 m in diameter

- Weighs about 6200 kg

- The warhead can carry from 500 kg to 750 kg - the missile has a range of 600 km.

- The missile is guided by an inertial navigation system, and its warhead features a “miniature detection system” for trajectory corrections.

- The warhead can be armed with a variety of payloads (conventional high-explosive munitions, cluster munitions, “bunker-busting” munitions.. the DF-15 can carry a nuclear warhead capacity of 50-350kt ).

- The estimated accuracy of the DF-15 is 150-200 meters, and the probability of circular error has been improved in the upgraded versions.

Also, Egypt developed its own version of the missile with the help of Chinese experts at the end of 2014 and continued until the beginning of 2017. Some reports say that the probability of error has become 25: 50 m, which means that the missile has a terrible accuracy in hitting its target with precision.

The DF-15 is a tactical missile designed to strike adversary weapons, combat aircraft hangars, command and control facilities, and other critical infrastructure.

The DF-15B missiles for the same purpose in the dense layers of the atmosphere used aerodynamic handlebars on the body. Greater flight speed and a detachable warhead make the task of intercepting DF-15 extremely difficult by any of the existing anti-missile technology.

The DF-15B is equipped with strap-down inertial fully digital control system with on-board computer. First variants DF-15A had a circular error probable of 150-600m. Further improvement of the system has allowed the reduction in CEP. According to the developers.. they conducted work on equipping the DF-15 missiles with satellite guidance system and a new inertial control system for ring laser gyroscopes allowed to increase the pointing accuracy of the CWE to 35-50m..The re-entry vehicle matches the American "Pershing" II almost exactly.

The DF-15C short-range ballistic missile, equipped with a deep-penetration warhead, would be able to damage or destroy underground command facilities

The missiles are launched from a carrier-erected launcher (TEL) produced by Wanshan, allowing the system to move quickly after firing.. The estimated system launch time is 15 minutes.

The factory was built in 2015 at the Abu Zaabal Missile Factory for the Chinese missile industry, which was developed between 2014 and 2017. The factory now owns the latest technologies for manufacturing ballistic missiles.. It has recently owned a very modern missile test platform that allows testing of large ranges, as it appeared on Google maps.

If true, can we expect further coperation on missile technology?

 

[The SC]

If true, can we expect further coperation on missile technology?

For sure.. since this has been going on since the 60s with North Korea as a veil for China..
As you can see this DF-15 is a very close copy of the US Pershing II nuclear capable ballistic missile (with some more modern variations of the warhead and some other sensitive parts).. And as we know, Egypt worked with Argentina and Iraq on project Condor II.. which is exactly the Pershing II..

Pershing II

Condor II

 

[Ghostkiller]

If true, can we expect further coperation on missile technology?

I am sure that there is a lot of cooperation but it will be always hidden sadly because our army want to show it in moments of surprise during a war or tensions. Maybe we will see it during military parades in the New Capital something like the Russians the Chineses etc...

but you have other sources claiming this?

 

[Ghostkiller]

There is some rumours that Egypt is cooperating with North Korea to produce “Nodong” missile which fire up to 1,250–1,750 km (est.). The cooperation between those countries began during the Cold War. We had military projects like Scud B-C BM with upgraded ones maybe Nodong Missiles.

Scud B

Scud-C

Nodong

"By the year 2,000, if Egyptian-North Korean cooperation continues at its present level, Egypt also could gain access to North Korea’s more advanced “Nodong” missile. Pyongyang is already sharing Nodong technology with Iran. The Nodong is a medium-range missile that was first tested in 1993 across the Sea of Japan. If Pyongyang does help Cairo build larger missiles such as the Nodong, the U.S. Administration may feel more pressure to intervene. But it is easier for Washington to penalize North Korea, as it did in 1992 for selling missiles to Iran, than to punish Egypt, an ally with close U.S. military ties. A U.S. official admits that “it is easier for us to focus on rogue states like Iran, Iraq and North Korea than to talk about our friends like Egypt or Israel.”

DF-15C has a range of only 700km. Launched from Egypt, it can only cover Israel and Jordan, attacking the border areas of Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Ethiopia.

The only advantage is that DF-15C can penetrate concrete to attack. Does Egypt want to threaten the special facilities of some countries?

700 km is more than enough for a country like Egypt.

Doesn't Egypt consider that dam project in Ethiopia an existential threat?

It is mostly a deterrent against anyone with thoughts of threatening the Egyptian special facilities..

Apparently..Egypt made the DF-15A and B too.. and it has made its own version of the C version with a range of 850 km and a CEP of 25 m..

 

[The SC]

Doesn't Egypt consider that dam project in Ethiopia an existential threat?

Yes..but only in case Ethiopia tries to fill it up too quickly..otherwise ..all is fine

In fact Ethiopia is going to start producing electricity from the GERD Dam tomorrow Sunday as we speak.. Egypt has nothing against that, to the contrary it supports it..

Yes..but only in case Ethiopia tries to fill it up too quickly..otherwise ..all is fine

Any sort of power sharing agreement from the dam?
