The German Government agreed to the German company Lurssen to hand over 9 patrol boats and one coastal defense boat to Egypt instead of Saudi Arabia..
Crazy that the Germans are taking the Khashogshi killing to a very far extent in eventually losing billions of $ on arms sales to Saudi Arabia. Even the US who champions the cause (wink wink) hasn't allowed that to get in the way of billions of $ in weapons export and I doubt the incoming Biden admin will do it either, maybe something but not a complete stop of all arms export like Germany has vehemently done here.
The other thing is they're claiming this is actually fulfilling a contract with Egypt which I find interesting since I never heard of a contract with Germany that involved all these particular vessels!?
MashAllah Egyptian Navy -- once the Mekos come and along with these and whatever other naval orders are out there I've lost count LOL -- should be nicely stacked! Need to get those Katrans for the Mistrals including the two ships CIWS which are CRITICAL and then maybe concentrate on more submarines to increase that portion of the navy arm and then they should be all set for a while.
Wish to see supersonic drones on this.View attachment 685558
That's a great idea, actually! When @Lord Of Gondor (aka his gangsta name The LoG ) was talking about the EAF getting an aircraft carrier which would probably be a bit too much for us I think (for India it's perfectly fine and they've been well capable of deploying them with Harriers and MiG-29s) but instead of that, they could possibly fly all types of drones off of these Mistrals. As long as they can take off and land without any assisted mechanism (not an easy thing to do, especially landing) but that would be the way to go IMO.
