The sights should be made in Egpyt, the magnifier is not very hard to make but the holographic sight is much more complex than a red dot for example.Egyptian Navy Special Forces training with their SIG-516s.
This one straight up with the built-in sights.
This one with the help of a holographic sight and some frequent 3 burst shots in full auto.
Those Rafale pictures are great but my favourite ones are still the ones with the Pyramids in the background.The question is, would the Russian big birds have the boom? I know they have the drag chute baskets for aircraft with probes on them which would be the EAF Rafales, Mirage 2Ks, MiG-35s and Su-35s but the entire fleet of F-16s would require a boom and I'm not sure the Russians have that?
The Russian/Chinese missiles on the F-16 would be very difficult. The MICA on the other hand should be more or less plug and play(especially the IR). The problem could be through the End User Monitoring Agreements if such a thing were to happen IMO.
If bipartisan support exists(I am certain it does) and Egypt is willing to lean on the congress a bit, then I think the F-16s can be upgraded very fast.
PAF was also in a similar quagmire but just one smart decision meant all pre Peace Drive F-16s got a comprehensive upgrade and bringing them more or less on par with the block 52+ jets.
Taiwan is another example.
It is going to be a lot harder to integrate air to air missiles than it will bombs and radiation missiles. China offers a solution Egypt could use.

The Refueller question is a tough one. My solution would be a KC-390 with a possible Boom.
Ideal solution (which even the IAF wants) is the A330 MRTT.

I say that Egypt can be a nation producing a lot of ammunition, and arms for the African market as well as vehicle, and radar production. Basically Egypt can be a huge market but needs to produce it's own engines and other complex equipment to compete fully against suppliers that actually can produce all these things.Agreed. Seems like we're seeing a lot of stuff being being made in Egypt, now, especially all these rifle accessories that we've been seeing in the previous pages. EDEX has really opened the doors for a lot of these items to be seen by the outside world. Same with things like those RIBs.
There's also an indigenous IFV that just came out. I'll try to get some info on it.
If you want me to answer to other topics, ask to give me back my privilege.... for exemple in this topic : https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/t-12...copter-programs.209736/page-245#post-12685873What is this? Headquarters of Arab Nato?
The first 4 look like the Egyptian Oliver Hazard Perry classHeck of a picture of an EN Gowind being escorted by a couple of EN fast patrol boats. I think the ships in single file are US ships entering or exiting the Suez Canal in the Gulf of Suez, but not sure. That's a lot of big boats in line. Anyone know the details please chime in.

Here they are in bab El mandeb wit Saudi frigates in the back
Hope Egypt will keep them for a long time still...
*** On July 14, 2016, the ex-USS Thach took over 12 hours to sink after being used in a live-fire, SINKEX during naval exercise RIMPAC 2016. During the exercise, the ship was directly or indirectly hit with the following ordnance: a Harpoon missile from a South Korean submarine, another Harpoon missile from the Australian frigate HMAS Ballarat, a Hellfire missile from an Australian MH-60R helicopter, another Harpoon missile and a Maverick missile from US maritime patrol aircraft, another Harpoon missile from the cruiser USS Princeton, additional Hellfire missiles from an US Navy MH-60S helicopter, a 900 kg (2,000 lb) Mark 84 bomb from a US Navy F/A-18 Hornet, a GBU-12 Paveway laser-guided 225 kg (500 lb) bomb from a US Air Force B-52 bomber, and a Mark 48 torpedo from an unnamed US Navy submarine..

I found something interesting talking to philip on Instagram, egypt developed subsystem for satellite which is the camera. Philip and I went over this and it seems very promising for the egyptian industry. It specifications are similar to the one used in in the uae khalifaSat. It may be useful for egyptian, african, and arab satellite programs.
Designing and manufacturing a multi-purpose camera, with an imaging resolution of 2.5 meters, up to 800 kilometers, indicating that large cameras weighing more than 20 kilometers are installed on the big satellites.
