Egypt warns Turkey against drilling in E. Mediterranean
May 05 2019
Egypt on Saturday warned Turkey against drilling for natural gas off Cyprus, citing the impact of Turkey’s planned move on the security and stability in East Mediterranean Sea, the Egypt Independent online newspaper reported.

“Any actions by states in the region need to abide by the rules of international law and its provisions,” the newspaper quoted the Egyptian foreign ministry as saying.

Turkey has announced its intention to explore the East Mediterranean for oil and gas while stating it considers the 2013 Egyptian-Cypriot agreement on utilisation of natural sources in East Mediterranean’s economic zone to be invalid, the newspaper said.

Ankara is preparing to send its “Fatih” vessel to the area to conduct drilling for oil and gas amid an ongoing dispute with Greece and Cyprus over the island's exclusive economic zoneand drilling hydrocarbons in the gas- rich Eastern Mediterranean.

The EU on Saturday also urged Turkey to reconsider plans to start exploratory drilling for oil and gas off Cyprus, a move has been condemned as illegal by the European Union.

The Egypt Independent quoted Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu as saying that “Turkish Cypriots have undeniable rights on the island of Cyprus,” and “no foreign entity, company or vessel can carry out any illegal scientific research or exploration of oil and gas in the continental shelf of Turkey and its maritime areas.”

Turkey, the only country to recognise the breakaway Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, doesn’t have diplomatic relations with the internationally recognised government of Greek Cyprus and claims that part of the Cyprus offshore area remains under the jurisdiction of Turkish Cypriots or Turkey.

Turkey will keep protect TRNC rights and won't let anyone steal their share. Sorry Sisi, your master Trump won't pet you forever.

Egyptian Navy

-- 1 FREMM class Frigate armed with 16 x 30km ASTER-15 Air Defense Missiles and 8 x 180km EXOCET Anti ship Missiles
-- 4 OHP class Frigates armed with 32 x SM-1 Air Defense Missiles and 8 x 124km HARPOON Anti ship Missiles
-- 4 Gowind class Corvettes are on order armed with 16 x MICA Air Defense Missiles and 8 x 180km EXOCET Anti ship Missiles
-- 4 Type-209 class Submarines are on order



Turkish Navy is the strongest in the region

Turkish Navy has 16 of OHP and MEKO-200 class Frigates armed with over 600 SM-1 and ESSM Air Defense Missiles , 128 HARPOON Anti ship Missiles to block Airspace to protect Turkish EEZ in the Eastern Mediternean

also 4 ADA class stealth Corvettes , 22 FACs and 12 Type-209 class Submarines armed with HARPOON Anti ship Missiles

also Turkish Warships and Submarines have state of the art technology Electronic Warfare Systems





1 - Egypt has no Cruise Missile


Turkish Airforce

-- 50 AGM-84 SLAM-ER Cruise Missile ( 280 km )
-- 415 SOM Cruise Missile ( 250+ km ) ... land attack Anti ship capability

also Turkey has developed 220+ km ATMACA Missile .... land attack Anti ship capability

also 90 AGM-88 HARM Anti radiation Missile ( 150km )



2 - Egyptian Airforce F-16s so pathetic without BVR Missile

Egyptian Airforce has 220+ F-16s armed with only AIM-7 sparrow and AIM-9M & L air to air missiles
and Egyptian Rafale Fighter Jets armed with 60km MICA air to air missile



on the other hand Turkish Airforce has 230+ F-16s armed with AIM-9M & L & P & S , AIM-9x sidewinder WVR and 75km AIM-120B and 120km AIM-120C7 BVR air to air missiles

so Turkish Airforce F-16s + Boeing E7T AWACs easly can beat Egyptian Airforce in BVR combat over the Eastern Mediterranean





3 - Turkish Missiles can hit targets in Athens , Telaviv and Cairo




4 - Russia and Turkey have one solid arms contract providing for the supply of four S-400 divisions to Ankara in the summer of 2019

Turkey buys 40N6E Missile , destruction range is up to 380-400 km for aerodynamic targets and up to 15 km for ballistic weapons at an altitude 30 km

Range : 380-400 km
Altitude : 30 km
Speed : mach 12

so Egypt should know its own place


TURKEY determined to protect own Turkish Cypriot EEZ in the Eastern Mediterranean

Turkish Navy blocked Italian drillship in the Eastern Mediterranean
Turkish Navy blocked a Greek Frigate from harassing Turkish drillship in the Eastern Mediterranean

Turkey warns Greece and Egypt over exploring Eastern Mediterranean gas

 

[Oublious]

Egypt has strong nave and air force as well.

to give you impression, we can fight Greec, Egypt, Israel Cyprus all together. And we are talking about only with Naval forces, if we put Air force will be over kill. Thats why they are bitching and blaffing together other whise they would kicked us out gasfields and no deal.

[Mamadouso]

Egypt is a paper tiger, they have been slapped and humiliated by little Israel and effectively are run by Netanyahu.

They have no business ranting at Turkey.

 

[Mithridates]

they both gonna suffer one more one less, the winner is the one who solve its problems with negotiation.

 

[damm1t]

solve its problems with negotiation

Negotiations with South Cypriots/Greeks and expect positive result?

Those dudes would nuke us if they had one.
They would prefer to swim in acid pool.
They would rather die virgin.

I think you got the point... Not gonna work...

 

[MMM-E]

with negotiation ?

only Turkish military power will solve problems with the US-Israel backed terrorists and bandit countries


Turkey tried to solve problems with negotiation in Cyprus between 1964 and 1974
but the US - the EU backed Greek cypriots killed thousands of innocent defenseless Turks in Cyprus between 1964 and 1974

in finally by 1974 the Turkish Armed Forces solved problem in Cyprus in 2 days

 

[Wow]

What is Egypt doing?

 

[Hell NO]

Update your information all of it is outdated.

First of all Egypt isn't going to fight you alone (why exhaust our forces) we have a defensive packed with Greece and Cyprus (think about it us so close to your homeland mean while you are far from ours) meaning that you would be fighting those states with Egypt's support to them not gonna even mention the Egypt UAE Saudi alliance.

1. Egypt does operate French and russian cruise missiles.

2.egypt does operate r77 and soon enough meteor.
Calling Egyptian f16 pathetic because they have no bvr while also mentioned that they operate aim7 with range of 70km which is bvr. What???

Let's talk numbers 50 migs +220 f16 +24 rafales (36 soon).

3. Hit Athens all you want.

Never heard of missiles winning wars (conventional missiles) fact is you are too far for that to be effective.

As for Egyptian missiles can't say much Egypt keeps treats them as top secret strategic weapons but there are evidence (exposed by CIA) that Egypt cooperated with north Korea on development of related technologies which says alot in my opinion.

Also let me introduce you to the s300

4. If you know anything about air defense (something Egypt excells at) you would know that you need them to be connected layered hidden and on the move.
Having s400 (small numbers) with no serious short and medium range Sam cover and no link between eastern and western makes them venerable. (That's not me hating on turkey I seriously think you should have went with the f35 which would add way more than s400).

In conclusion turkey as of late is acting irrationally and is being driven by popularism. Let's face it the American 6th fleet can take turkey+Egypt+Greece at the same time no problem so if there is a conflict the American side is gonna win and at this stage turkey is breaking international law and if you wanna try saddams fate then go for it.

Yes, it will be one bloody slaughter of the Egyptians.

Egypt has strong nave and air force as well.

Any military confrontation over gas oil field will only destroy/weaken to Muslim military power in the region and embolden Israeli. I hope two brotherly country will solve the dispute amicably.
