Egyptian Armed Forces

[ARCH٤R]

Well, it seems like many of the Sa'aqa really like their ARX-160 and especially when they add their goodies to them like the holographic sights, suppressors and flashlights/red dots? Guy in the middle bottom looks like a rookie who just got his issue rifle and still hasn't souped it up!

I guess the same with these guys, and give the beast the biggest gun in the M60 lol! Perfect, reminds me of Blain (Jesse Ventura) in Predator with the minigun lol.

Then you have another group of Sa'aqa issued the SIG-552s and it seems these guys are part of a group that gets escorted into battle by helo (mostly Chinooks) under cover by Apaches?

Another Sa'aqa with an M4.

Paratrooper? Also with souped up SIG-552.

If they use a group layout of service troops w/ a mixture of M60s and SIG-552s then I believe they’ll have an increase in survivability. *Still buying billions worth of Fighter jets but no upgrades for conscripts kit and equipment* says a lot about the military doctrine... I believe we have many Sa’aqa soldiers?

So if I understand it you aren't looking through the sight you are looking through a camera attached to the sight for aiming?

Or how do you aim if the sight is blocked by a camera?

Honestly I dont like that idea very much, would rather have a soldier just aiming down the sights.

It feeds an eye piece that he's wearing and looking into that way. The idea is that it does all the hard work for him and all he needs to do is look through the eye piece and move to aim the rifle that way. Sort of the same principle as a helo pilot with the eye piece on the gun, except those guys have the movement of the gun also. This doesn't have that, just the aiming.

Can someone explain where stands Egyptians armed forces against Israel today?

Moreover, this setting also allows the firer to fire his weapon safely from behind cover, without actually exposing your head due to aiming. You can keep your weapon out of your position, and fire while you yourself are hidden.

Could travel both ways and could trade if local boycotts in both countries are overcome. Egypt’s current government could cut ties and contracts with Egyptians who would work or live in Israel but that’s it... pretty much like what it was after 1990.
But that’s the State... I don’t think the military has its own stand.

Yes but it could be confusing... and I find the devices and their layout unreliable, I bet they are working on a smaller and a well arranged, safe wiring layout.

That is of course a benefit, I would have to try it myself to know if it would actually be a good setup. Most important thing is that it is helping the defense industry.

True. That particular one is rather cumbersome and probably just a demonstrator. The pic in the post above that by ARCHER showing the soldier in this foxhole with a more flexible unit is probably the one they field more so than that one with the hard pipe coming out of the sight. Ether way, though, I think it's only good for certain applications such as stationary units or units in convoys etc. Maybe breaching tacticals and possibly one or two SF members within a mobile unit could and would use it. Otherwise, I bet it's probably not very effective otherwise.

I was at a gun show last year in southern US and they had something similar only it was remote controlled which I thought would be much better and certainly less cumbersome. The entire thing operated wireless but it took a little bit to get used to.

lol, if you responded in that manner on purpose, then walahi bravo aleik loool. I think he was wondering how Egypt's military stacks up against Israel's.

Are there even enough people in the military to fill up 8 of those structures? LOL. That's is unbelievable what they have built with these octagons and I hope this will be more of an Arab base of operations instead of just Egyptian since the size of it is beyond belief! One for Saudiya, one for the UAE, one for Syria, one for Iraq etc. lol

Well it seems Egypt got a bigger armed forces than te US.. they have only a Pentagon..HaHaHa!
On a more serious note.. the Egyptian armed forces are huge..most likely preparing for 2030 when Egypt will have one of the biggest economies and a full member of the G-20.. so it is being built for the now and taking account of the future needs too..
Believe it or not Bro.. that thought of many Arab headquarters crossed my mind when they just announced the start of building the Octagon.... most likely some high ranking military attaches from Arab countries, and some very close Egyptian allies will be represented in there or have a special bureau dedicated to them..

I wonder how cool it is to look through thermal sights. Probably very useful for finding enemy snipers in Sinai and other places. I hope UAE and KSA can buy equipment from Egypt.

Yes, it makes all the sense in the world that it would be a shared headquarters for our Arab NATO. And then even when there are huge exercises, they can invite entire armies over LOL! And what you said about 2020 walahi men bo2ak lbab el sama ya m3alem! Wouldn't that be something.

BTW, I'm growing really impatient about seeing some good pictures of these badassmofos maan! Enough of this hiding crap and all that let's see these things flying and their weapons!! I'm also wondering if all the Su-35s get that wing-mounted AESA radar or if that's only an option for the Russian ones? That feature really blows me away at how ingenious it is. I hope our EAF Su-35s have those radars.
