Egyptian Armed Forces

[Mhmoud]

Unfortunately I believe it's permanent. BTW, speaking of Mirages, you should open up and start a thread on the Libyan Armed Forces. I don't think one exists and we can really get into it. I'd be happy to contribute and there's actually is a lot of material out there from the Qaddafi era but especially now with the refurbishing work they've done on the MiG-23s & 21s, the Mi-24 Hinds & Mirage F-1s, Sukhois and much more.

Thanks. Will do after my exams end and I have enough free time.

 

[Hell NO]

It’s a pity Americans don’t allow us to use indigenous Pakistani weapons on those F-16.

Thankfully JF filled that gap.. Takbir PGM,H Series Stand Off Weapons,HAFR series anti runway munitions,REKT Glide bombs and Guided Munitions Kits..



P.S; Those Rafales looks beautiful..
Always loved French jets..
When I was a child, I used to read Green Book (Pak military issued Mags with articles on politics,weapons,technology,warfare,possibilities etc)... and they used to have pics of PAF aircraft .. F-16s,Mirages,A-5s & migs... so some reason always found the Mirage to be a much more beautiful jet than F-16.


Is there a standard rifle or what? The Egyptian Maadi?

Different units/services using different rifles... talk about logistics man.

We have a huge Verity of assault rifles I like to think that they buy some to test the rifle before actually buying (and it seems they settled on CZ807) only special forces have this issue normal unites only use ak47

Thankfully JF filled that gap.. Takbir

When I first read that, I thought you were asking me to do Takbir for the JF-17.

It sometimes seems like you want this dam to affect Egypt?.....

Really? After merely mentioning the 2013 deal for the 7 refurbished ex-Indian Su-30s that Ethiopia was going to get but the deal fell through and Uganda got them instead? Where's the connection?

The disappearance of the fighter jets under the civilian aircraft is an offensive tactic to avoid radars !!

I'm sure on a previous thread I posted on a couple of months ago you mentioned something similar.

Anyhows, the dam is of no concern.

Mentioned what, that I'd like to see the dam affect the Egyptian people? With all due respect, you don't see how ridiculous that sounds?

That's what you guys keep saying but we don't know that yet and that's why we're meeting again for the 18th time! If roles were reversed, Ethiopia would be just as concerned as Egypt is now.

South Africa's Paramount in talks to expand Egypt's home-grown arms industry

Defence company seeks to boost Egypt's position as arms exporter to Africa

South African defence company Paramount Group is in discussions with the Egyptian government to expand the country’s defence manufacturing capabilities and boost its position as an arms exporter to Africa. Paramount is seeking to set up a modernised defence industrial complex to produce advanced land, air and naval equipment, Ivor Ichikowitz, the group’s chairman said.

“We’re talking to the Egyptian government to try and understand their priorities in terms of invigorating the defence and aerospace industry,” Mr Ichikowitz told The National. “The domestic market is sizeable as the country modernises, becomes more efficient and reduces its reliance on former Soviet legacy equipment.”

Egypt is one of the biggest arms makers in the Arab world and Africa has a robust military industry dating back to the 1800s. The North African country produces battle tanks, heavy armoured vehicles, machine guns and ammunition, and rocket launchers, among other equipment, according to the Egyptian ministry of military production’s website. Some are produced under United States and Russian licensing contracts.

The closely-held defence company sees “big potential” for production, in partnership with the Egyptian government, of light, attack and reconnaissance aircraft and armoured vehicles as well as providing the technology for clearing landmines in the Sinai to free up large plots of land and ensure civilian safety.

The response from the Egyptian government has been “positive” as it understands the need to consider a defence industrial complex that’s not reliant on US and Russian production licensing, Mr Ichikowitz said.

The North African country, which has an automotive industry that enables production of land forces equipment, has the capacity to boost its arms exports to the rest of the continent.

“Egypt has the potential to become one of our major export hubs to the rest of Africa, not for everything, but certainly for land forces equipment,” he said.

While it has some concerns about the country’s ability to finance long-term and large-scale defence production projects, Paramount offers financing solutions to support the governments it works with, which will be an option in Egypt.

“We have a financing arm that syndicates funding structures and allows us to lease equipment to provide sovereign lines of credit,” Mr Ichikowitz said.

The current period of relative political stability compared to the years after the 2011 revolution that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak has made this right time to look into the Egyptian market.

“There is light at the end of the Egyptian tunnel,” he said. “The first-mover advantage is a good thing. We look at Egypt with caution and optimism.”

Paramount, which says it's profitable and sees 15 to 20 per cent growth in annual sales, is focused on the Middle East as one of its main growth markets.

The company is in discussion with Saudi Arabia to set up a defence manufacturing plant in the kingdom, with tech-transfer and creation of jobs, as one of the world’s biggest buyer of arms seeks to build its nascent military production industry.

Paramount operates in 30 countries and has already set up facilities in Jordan and India.

Yes I am aware of it. Always wanting local inter-african partnerships. Paramount offers a lot to the table.

Especially for IFVs, there is no one better out there worldwide than either Paramount or Armscor. Look at Morocco that has Ratels in huge quantities; especially for our conditions and challenges, they hold out superbly. I wont be surprised if we look at RG3x series or other IFVs given the challenges being faced in the Sanai or on the western front.

Indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if the focus was especially on IFVs and other types of armored vehicles.

It's clearly a game or flight simulator. Also using a civilian airliner in combat operations or exercises is a very very bad idea.

It looks real to me..And I am not sure it is a bad idea to get close to some target gaining a few hundred kilometers while hiding from long range radars..and then splitting without jeopardizing the civilian aircraft..
