It is funny when they say "Egypt has bought the Su-35" and they show a picture of a pair of Su-57s lol. Hopefully that aircraft will follow suit when it becomes available on the export market. Something tells me the EAF has been eyeing it for a while and most certainly once they started being interested in the MiG-35. It makes all the sense in the world except that program has a long way to go because of the new engine will still take a ton of time to test and begin mass serial production.
But back to the article, it makes all the sense in the world that Egypt wouldn't be concerned one bit about US sanctions and is basically telling the US to go to hell. It's actually about time. Enough is enough of this QME garbage and mistrust and all this stuff when it's always been the other way around anyway. They're the ones who attacked and stole our lands and we had to fight back and we're the bad guys?! What the heck kind of world is that?! As a matter of fact, Sisi should get even tougher with them and insist on a lot more, especially if those treaties were signed. Morocco and Bahrain are getting the SARS radar upgrade along with some other pretty rad upgrades on their F-16s and Egypt is still in this position? Something is terribly wrong with that picture and Sisi has the best ability to fix it and I hope he does.
Russians will tell you that their L-band radar works very well detecting stealth shaped aircraft. When you get a chance, check this thread out by our good friend

We know for a fact that Egypt operates the Protivnik-GE 3D radar with its incredible features and there is strong evidence that it also uses the even more impressive Resonance SE radar with its ability to not only cover entire "neighboring" countries and extremely high altitudes, but also detect stealth aircraft as well as cruise missiles. Not only has Egypt been developing its own radars, but it's been quite actively using high end and very extensive radar technology for a long time, now, ever since the war of attrition in the late 60s did it heavily invest in radar tech. Great info in that thread.
