Egyptian Armed Forces

Goming-21, I am waiting for the source to return from The Russian arms expo...
Just want to share info, with you that is all..not a pissing contest:usflag:
 
The reason what I understand and some one can correct me, for having special marking ( red tail and wings as well) on Egyptian aircraft is to distinguish from same type of Ac flown by other regional af like iaf

I think it was in AFM but not sure

Yes, visual differentiation markings for within visual range both in combat situations (anti-fratricide) and while working with allies who operate the same type of aircraft.

Ok, glad to hear that and looking forward to it. BTW, I have huge respect for the main ForcesDZ guys.

Those day-glo patches are nothing but silly. The EAF should mandate getting rid of them and put fresh paint or even a terrific camo scheme on all of them. They don't give any enemy any sort of advantage since the primary focus in A2A combat is BVR, so visual identification is useless in that regard. As far as WVR, if you need help (as a fighter jet pilot) to identify who you're dogfighting in this manner, you should find another profession, especially an enemy who is supposedly well equipped and trained. None of any potential enemies have them so why should the EAF have them? None of the allied partners performing missions with the same aircraft have them either so why the EAF? Time for those to disappear.

As for within the EAF itself, if it does in fact have an effective and working IFF system between the platforms themselves (especially within the F-16 fleet), then it certainly shouldn't need them.

The new Mohammad Naguib military base is very impressive. It's pretty much almost a self sufficient city, minus a few things. The targeting ranges are pretty cool with popping and moving targets etc. The opening ceremony was fun to watch, some stuff is a bit silly lol like the rolling body builders stage trucks but that's us, Egyptians. :-) And man, the marching band needs some serious practice lol. Otherwise, terrific stuff.

The K-8 Silver Stars aerial display never disappoints. I like the "whistle" of that engine as the solos flew by the dignitaries. Great sounding jet. Those guys are excellent.

Some pics from the incredible base.

It is true, the Aerial show was the most impressive.. The bodybuilders were Al Saeqa guys, pretty cool but could be skipped.. The Music band should come up with better music.. I loved the Music in the Aerial show..
The base is 75+ square kilometers.. quite impressive..
