Egyptian Armed Forces

Man the Spox using old footages harms the credibility of the current statistics and the numbers are pretty weird.
They are capturing 200-400 per day pretty alarming since they haven't showed any actual footages of 400 suspects captured.

Totally agree. That media gathering they televised with the spokesman and reps from all branches of the armed forces taking questions from the reporters was a step in the right direction. They need to do that a lot more often and bring more to the table so people can know what they're doing and not just take their recycled footage all the time. If they let the journos ask the pertinent questions and they can answer them, it would go a long way but hey, we never saw that type of gathering before so it is a step in the right direction anyway.

Pretty wild the amounts of marijuana and poppy farms and hashish and drugs they've captured and confiscated. You wouldn't think it would be that easy to grow a poppy farm and it not be discovered easily.

Unless the cretin are using the revenue from drug trade to fund their operations, I don't see any advantage coming from diverting manpower, equipment and time going after these farms. Sure they are illegal (not that I agree with that, I stand with legalizing marijuana and hashish), but our boys have a much bigger fish to fry at the moment. The local police will have plenty of time to handle the drugs once the cockroach infestation is exterminated and stability is restored.

I could be wrong, but from the sounds and looks of it, they're stumbling on these as they're raiding the cretin and not necessarily targeting the drug farms. Once they stumble on them, they're forced to cease or destroy them since they obviously can't leave them and move on to the next target and it's probably more efficient to just take care of them right on the spot.

Really? lol. Interesting. Even here in the US, legalizing marijuana is still in it's infancy and we're yet to see what the after effects of that legalizing it will be, just as the way alcohol had its issues as time went by after the end of prohibition. The rise of alcoholism and drunk driving fatalities etc. has taken its toll but western society is much different than a Muslim country. You think that would work in Egypt?

Alcohol has been legal in Egypt since forever, doesn't seem to be an issue. As a matter of fact, cannabis seems to be far less harmful than alcohol, although I'm all for legalizing it, I'm also a bit concerned we might descended into a similar situation to Yemen; a country once known for its export crops of coffee beans, fruits and cereals, now having them all being replaced with qat, and needing to import most of their food.

But if we can protect our limited arable land from being taken over by cannabis, I have no problem with it being legalized.

Although I'm wholly against all drugs, I would say that the red flag here is when there is any foreign involvement with the trade or production of drugs. Since their crops are water-intensive, a good thing to do is to check the sources of equipment and funding for watering equipment, as Sinai is a desert, and you don't find water in deserts.

@The SC @Harpcore_lover , finally we get an OFFICIAL casualty count from the Army Spokesman. 3 KIA (Allah Yerhamhum) and 2 wounded (Rabenna Yeshfehum) to date following operations of Sinai 2018 to date. That's more like it (not to diminish these brave men's lives) but their casualties should be at a very minimum by the time the major campaign is over. The cretins are being overwhelmed so essentially they're getting a taste of their own medicine except this isn't being done in a cowardly manner like the way they go about.

Finally a little bit of decent action that isn't all old, staged footage.

President Sisi riding a bike during his visit to the academy. Will any of those men dare go ahead of him?

This picture encapsulates the beauty of Sinai and why it must be protected from any entity.

So not only is the Egyptian military using the ARX-160 rifle, apparently they have paired it with the GLX 160 grenade launcher and are using it separately as well.

Makes total sense, if you're using the grenade launcher that is compatible to the rifle, might as well be able to fire it independently.

Fascinating post. You make a great point when you make the analogy with alcohol. What's the difference as far as the substance issue is concerned when you really think about it. I think that will be the day, if and when, you see it legalized in Egypt, you know we're definitely on a new trajectory!
