Spain has access to some US technologies and mostly to European tech.. It uually combines these to make its own systems.. that is what is good about it..you still getting the best world technologies.. and in a safer way..This is great on several levels. The choice to go with Spain is brilliant. Talk about diversification where it was mentioned in the article that @Titanium100 posted in that other thread. This is a great example of that diversification and a good reason for this particular one is not necessarily what most think of if one source halts its support either during a time of war or peace, there would be another to make up for the void. This is more in the line of the unfamiliarity of Spain and Spanish involvement in this particular field of ELINT. Not being a well known actor in the field gives Egypt that bit of distance to keep a certain level of unfamiliarity to the enemies which nowadays come in many different shapes and forms and places. It helps shield Egypt a little bit from that espionage or at least give the enemy and cut-throat friends and pretend friends a bit more work to find out about it. Not that it would help, anyway, since the information collected is what would need to be accessed for anything of value to come out of it, and not necessarily knowing about the system itself that would be beneficial.
The previous platforms that were being used for ELINT and intel gathering were basically US built, including the libraries that were already filled or given as a start. That didn't give Egypt much shielding or privacy in information, with the exception of what they collected after receipt of those platforms. But even those could be compromised, simply by virtue of the source and its access to the platforms.
This way here, there is none of that and the EAF & armed forces can start from scratch, while uploading older information and starting fresh with no compromising whatsoever. That, is the brilliance of this administration and the military personnel the great Sisi and company have instilled.
Most likely that is the reason.. and maybe even having both .. keeping the R-27s if already came with the Mig-35..even if just for training purposes or as reserve..Hey @The SC , listen to what is said from minute 5:18 to 5:50 about the R-27 and R-77. Some pretty interesting information and why would they not consider the R-27? That seems a bit strange, doesn't it?
Maybe when he mentions that the R-37 might be in the package may be the reason. That certainly would make sense to bump the R-27 for the R-37 and make much more use of the R-77 as the basis of the BVR missile.
@Gomig-21 .. have you seen the new German MEKO-300 that was just unveiled a week aago.. might be the next 2 ships for EN after the 4 MEKO-200 !?
