Egyptian Armed Forces

That egg splatter cam pattern hasn't been in use since 2013.

Thank God for that. Not even arguably, but definitely the WORST looking uniform ever produced and an embarrassment for those fellas who had to wear it. That diarrhea green is what made the silly splatter even worst. They couldn't have found a worst combination of pattern and color if they tried.

You don't see the M60 that often, at least I don't. Very cool, but man are they using a clustermatch of guns! oof.
And the top pic looks like three guys are carrying Maadi Misrs while one guy is carrying an AK-103. You see that mismatch a lot within the different units and it makes you wonder what is their method of issuing firearms to these men. And what are the red canisters, smoke grenades?

Block 52

Another rare shot of inside the E-2C and one of its radar screens.

Egyptian fighter jet crewmen seem to be using the Russian system when working on most of the jets. They carry these pouches for certain tools and objects they need etc, maybe also to carry those removable tags and US crewmen don't use these but Russians do. Haven't seen the Rafale guys use any pouches yet. Then there was that other fancy backpack/pouch on the previous picture with the guys loading the CBUs on the F-16.

Using drones to film the movements.

Osa class missile boats apparently have been very active and a sense that they might be even more active in months ahead with the Mediterranean tensions that have been developing.

The M60E4 is only in service with the Navy Special Operations Brigade. So we rarely get to see it.

what is their method of issuing firearms to these men.

Officer X: Hey, wouldn't it be great if we had that shiny new rifle?
Officer Y: That would be awesome. But we don't have the budget to field it for the entire corps
Officer X: But we really want shiny new rifles. What if we only issued them to ourselves?
Officer Y: We're buying shiny new rifles.

And what are the red canisters, smoke grenades?

Would assume so. Smoke grenades are usually long and cylindrical.

The red grenades could be incendiary giving that they are heavily used and I haven't seen the military use any smoke grenades even when they are under fire.

This pic bothered me just a little bit. Despite a narrowly paved road and the need for 2-way traffic, it seems extremely dangerous to ride the shoulder of the road where that's essentially the main areas to bury IEDs.

Give them credit, though, with all the personnel involved in this operation across the country and especially in Sinai and with all the explosive material they've seized and arrests they've made and cretins they've killed, I don't believe they've had a single AF casualty yet.

The military spox tho stressed on the fact that you should not rely on any sources of information else than The Military itself, I'm sure the goverment wouldn't hide such info as it would be basically humiliating for the martyr.

Indeed, that was the first thing I thought of. I missed any -- if there was -- casualties listed by the MoD. Have they announced the same number?

They didn't talk about any casualties, thank God. Shows how the troops were properly trained and prepared.
I read this article that said our paratroopers did the same Russian tactics, the army would go forward and like paratroopers would be dropped behind the enemy troops, trapping them, explains how the army arrested around 600+ suspects
