It's a dual thing, theman : first, power being mil tied
favours its armed forces equipment which was not
always the case. Since Sadat, a couple years of high
expenditures were cycled with a few years of either
stable or lower spending. When fresh generals are
near the head of state, mil money flows better.
A second part would ask you to check not against
whom as much as with who? The clear menaces are
Yemen/Libya/sister nation Syria's err ... instability etc.
Looking around Egypt, one can see that pure Muslim
ties are egregious whereas Arab ties, apart from Libya
since Khadaffi went rogue on power thirstiness, have
been relatively more trustworthy especially after Israel
ceased being a common obsession. So, considering
the African fails to its south, shifting sands to its West,
wars to the near South East and far North East, working
within the parameters of the Arab League somewhat
re-centered on the GCC and Morocco + Sudan gives
Misr a reasonable strategic environment. The fact that
it maintains a real land army
( now deployable with Mistrals ),
which most others lack, makes it valuable in return.
A side concern could be that the USA have become less
reliable with a disinvestment in providing weapons that
their new president warned might come at a higher cost.
Thanks for that vid, MICA mate; it could be used to school
younger members on ACs & AC types differences or heck
milavia recognition period.
