Egypt already received 50 and had troubles with the second deal but not anymore.French Cruise Missile ? dream on
https://www.defenseworld.net/news/2...xport_of_Scalp_Missiles_to_Egypt#.XNCwgknTU0M
(Ofcourse you can't forget the 600ish + 200ish missiles operated by Saudi and UAE which would be given to Egypt in the case of running low on munitions. Perks of having allies)
Russian Cruise Missile ? only 40 km KH-38 air to ground missile .... nothing else
Egypt acquired the full armament of migs meaning that Egypt acquired the likes of kh-59mk for sure however like the kh31 and the migs themselves you wouldn't read about it unless Egypt release pictures (unlikely as it is a strategic weapon).
on the other hand Turkey has developed its own SOM Cruise Missile ... land attack/anti ship capability
( and Turkey produce 415 of SOM Cruise Missiles .... ( range of 250+ km )
also Turkish Airforce has 50 of AGM-84 SLAM-ER Cruise Missiles (280km) .... land attack/anti ship capability
also Turkey has developed its own 220+km ATMACA Missile .... land attack/anti ship capability
and soon Turkish 800km GEZGIN land and naval based Cruise Missile to hit every target in Cairo and other cities in Egypt
I feel like you should be reading way more on the subject of military strategy/history/tactics and less reading of spec sheets of weapons.
To fire /target Egyptian city's you have to first fly undetected (by Greece/Cyprus then by Egyptian navy and then Egyptian airforce and then Egyptian air defence) chance of that happening is zero but let's think of the most likely scenario.
Secondly given that your approach is going to be the same everytime expect heavy airforce (awcs + f16 +migs + rafales + mirages) presence. Large Turkish formations (easy to detect by greeks) would be met my even larger Egyptian formations meaning that you would be forced to fire from max range to minimise loses.
Then you have to deal with Egypt's relatively strongest forces (thanks to Israel air force superiority)
So believe me your cruise missiles are an inconvenience but not a threat.
Egyptian MIG-29s armed with 80 km R77 air to air missile
Turkish F-16s armed with 120 km superior AIM-120C7 air to air missile
btw Egyptian F-16s armed with 11-30km AIM-7 ( so pathetic and outdated ) ......
Turkish Airforce F-16s armed with 75km AIM-120B and 120 km AIM-120C7 air to air missiles
R77 new versions have a range of 110 km
Also Egypt operates the P version of aim7 with a range of 70km.
But that wouldn't even matter that much because soo many factors decide which missile is superior not just range.
Not claiming that the Egyptian f16 is on a par with the Turkish ones. Egyptians are going to have an engagement range of around 40 to 50km meanwhile Turkish f16 are going to have almost double that but calling Egyptian f16 toothless is unfair and untrue.
Turkish Airforce S400 Air Defense System ( 400km 4ON6E air to air missile )
Read my comments iam not gonna repeat myself.
Now a 100 of those would give you a massive advantage as they are harder to detect and shoot down also allow certain tactics that f16 wouldn't dream of. But a 100 of those would equal more than 3 times what you have currently in your airforce so it seems to me like wishful thinking. Especially after s400also upcoming 100 F-35A stealth Fighter Jets or SU-57 Fighter Jets from
if you are so ignorant its your problem .... Turkish Armed Forces have the strongest fire power in the region and its so effective
All Greek Air Defense Systems , Air Bases , Jet Hangars , Navy-Naval Ports , Military and Strategic targets are in range of Turkish Missile Systems
-- 120 km TRG-300 guided MLRS
-- 150 km J600-T Tactical Ballistic Missile
-- 280 km KHAN Tactical Ballistic Missile
-- 220 km ATMACA Land/Naval based Cruise Missile ....( land attack / anti ship )
-- 250+ km SOM Cruise Missile ..... ( land attack / anti ship )
-- also Turkish KGK Smart Bomb ( 110 km )
I used to hold the believe that ballistic missiles are unbeatable however the recent Saudi success makes me doubt that with that said I still think that you are close enough to Greece to hurt them with volume also given Greece's lake of depth but you are too far from Egypt to be effective with ballistic missile bombardment (which is your only hope of hitting anything in Egypt) which is what I meant.
Don't know Greece's plans or capabilities to counter you.
between 2019 and 2022 Turkey create great Air Defense capability to counter all threats
I see the Turkish leadership agree with me but until that happens (in large numbers also Turkish technology isn't proven that's something to watch for)you wouldn't be able to use s400 even if it was delivered today.
Egyptian S300 is a toy for Turkish Airforce F-16s ( SPEWS-II self protection Electronic Warfare suite and 250km+ SOM
Again very cartoonish idea of war Egypt wouldn't allow you to get to s300 range and if you did it wouldn't be just s300.
