Egyptian Armed Forces

They didn't have naval war...Most of their battle were in land. The Ottomans controlled the sea lanes...

After the Punic Wars(in which they quickly adapted to naval warfare against Carthage) ,the Med basically became a Roman sea.

Flamer it was inland mostly. No naval battle were recorded even the Roman had a strong fleet...Turkey thru the piracy , were at war all the time...That what I was getting at..

L'Egypte veut s'offrir une frégate FREMM

L'Egypte veut s'offrir une frégate FREMM

Plus de 600 millions d'euros, c'est la valeur de cette frégate multimissions FREMM que Le Caire souhaite acquérir. La France est prête à lui livrer la frégate Normandie en voie de finition

Décidément, l'appétit des militaires égyptiens pour les matériels d'armement tricolores est insatiable. Après les corvettes Gowind (quatre signées pour 1 milliard d'euros et deux en voie de l'être) et les Rafale (un intérêt pour 24 appareils pour 3,6 milliards d'euros) notamment, Le Caire voudrait en outre acquérir une frégate multi-missions FREMM très rapidement, selon des sources concordantes. Pour 2015, assure-t-on à La Tribune.

D'un montant de plus de 600 millions d'euros (hors armement), cette frégate anti-sous-marine, qui serait en quelque sorte le navire amiral de la flotte égyptienne, devra être prête pour la fin des travaux d'élargissement du canal de Suez l'année prochaine. Après le Maroc (1 exemplaire), ce serait au tour de l'Égypte de s'offrir ce bijou technologique français.

According to French financial newspaper La Tribune, Egypt would like to quickly procure a FREMM multi-mission frigate from France, following the deal the country has just signed with DCNS for four Gowind 2500 corvettes (the lead ship to be built in France and the 3 others to be built in Egypt as part of a transfer of technology). Egypt is reported to have requested a FREMM for as early as 2015.

La Tribune is reporting that France could sell Aquitaine class Frigate Normandie which is set to be delivered to the French Navy by year end.

This would come as a surprise however because Normandie, the 2nd ship of the class, is fitted with 16x Sylver A70 vertical launch systems, wiring and all the necessary equipment (including mission computers) to launch MBDA's Naval Cruise Missiles (NCN). NCM are subject to very strict export regulations and the sole FREMM exported by DCNS to date, the Royal Moroccan Navy Mohammed VI is fitted with only 16x Sylver A50 vertical launch systems for the surface to air missiles. It is missing the 16x A70 launchers for the cruise missiles.

Navy Recognition believes a FREMM fitted with A70 launchers and NCM systems would not get the green light to be exported to Egypt. Normandie could still be modified and see all her NCM related equipment removed but an easier solution would be to deliver Languedoc (the third FREMM for the French Navy, Fourth in the series) which started sea trials last month and which may not have all the equipment installed yet. Better yet: If the rumor proves to be verified in the future, it would make more sense to deliver the next hull in the series (expected to be named Auvergne) which is still under construction at the Lorient shipyard. It is unclear whether this hull could be ready as early as next year however.

Contacted by Navy Recognition, DCNS didn't wish to comment on the rumor.

Egypt would be interested in purchasing a FREMM multi-mission frigate from France

"A Message From the Sinai" 25/11/2014 11 militants killed in operations, great footage.

Formations from the Central and Northern Military HQs and Rapid Deployment Forces are inspected by Colonel General Sedki Sobhi before being deployed in order to protect vital state institutions against attacks during planned opposition protests. Great footage here again, and footage that confirms that Unit 777 ICT&HR have adopted the ARX-160SF.

What is standard uniform for Egyptian army? And are the ground forces going to get modernization soon? Also the standard rifle is akm, right? I prefer they stay with that considering enviroment and other issues...it suits them fine.

The uniform depends on which branch, arms, unit and or mission a soldier or operator is in. The current standard uniform (issued across the board) is the Egyptian variant of the US designed desert camouflage uniform.

The US woodland M81 design is also extensively used and new Multicam designs have been introduced. Forces using the M81 are for the majority of cases either with the Republican Guard, Paratroopers, or with the Navy Special Forces Brigade. While Multicam is almost exclusively used by the Navy SFB and Paras.

The EAF has been issued new digital camouflage

Last but definitely not least the Special Forces. They are still using the legendary choc chipped desert camo.

The infantry is being issued new gear but it will take time to be rolled out across the entire Army.
