Egyptian Armed Forces


A stupid question. The ones in the IFVs MRAPs they are from the "army" or the SF and Rapid Deployment Forces(RDF).
Second between 0:55 to 1:03, which bomb is it and the second video is it a cruise missile or just a F-16 MIG-29 passing and bombing

Egypt: South Korea, and UAV ToT

The Egyptian Ministry of Military Production (MoMP) is reported to have signed a memorandum with the South Korean aerospace and defense company Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) that includes a transfer of technology (ToT) agreement, training, and joint production agreements to produce reconnaissance and surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

Tactical Report has prepared a 281-word report to shed more light on this subject.

Saudi interest in Egypt diversifying fighters suppliers

Saudi-Egyptian defense relations are reported to have evolved to include agreements and cooperation in several fields, particularly since Saudi King Salman assumed power in 2015.

The Egyptian experience in diversifying the arms suppliers is said to have drawn significant attention from the Saudi Ministry of Defense, particularly among high-ranking officers from the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF).

In his last visit to Riyadh on (8/3/2022), Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is reported to have discussed with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz the significant capabilities of the Egyptian Air Force (EAF), given Egypt's possession of advanced fighters from, particularly the French Rafale.

Tactical Report has made a 240-word report to shed more light on the subject.

They look like RDF to me. I think it's pretty easy to identify them by their uniforms. Also by some of that equipment they're using, especially the command and EW vehicle.

That flying object at the 0:55 minute you mentioned is very interesting. It's flying like a cruise missile but cruise missiles don't drop huge bombs like what that thing appeared to drop, but if you look at the timing of the explosion on the ground and the flying object, I think it was pure coincidence that it flew right over a dropped munition such as a GBU-10/12 or Mark-82 from an F-16. It has all the characteristics of a CM and not a drone since there aren't any visible wings of any size, except what appears to be a fin at the rear of the object.

That's the crazy thing about the EGY army is they have and are operating quite a few advanced items that no one really knows about until we just happen to see them on pics or videos like this. Would love to really find out what that was. I thought at one point it might be a SCALP and we just can't see the wings from all the heat distortion?

It kinda resembles the Otomat Mk2 MSSM fired from the Bernees FREMM used as a land attack missile?

Or maybe it's a newly deployed EDGE munition like the Al Tariq? @Philip the Arab what do you think?

Saw this pic from all the news about the slain Palestinian journalist and one of the fellas said he hadn't seen so many people gather for a funeral since the pair of Egyptian Commando Sea Kings dropped off Arafat's body in Ramala. The Egyptian pilot of one of the helos said he couldn't land for a few minutes because of all the people.

I don't think that SK will give us something that much advanced like the stealthy ones.

Speaking of drones, that one you mentioned does actually appear to be one now that I've watched that part 1000 xs lol. It's just that I can't see any shape of wings whatsoever and if it really is a UAV, we should easily see the wings. If the rear fin which is much smaller shows up like it does, then any larger wigs should for sure.

The problem is that the explosion does come after the object passes by and not before like I originally thought. So it certainly appears like it was the one that dropped whatever ordinance that was that exploded once it passed by.

With all the drones Egypt is building and producing, they shouldn't have any problem designing a stealthy one with all the available information out there, and what they must possess themselves. They just need to build testing chambers and things of that sort, if they haven't already.

During a femtosecond, I saw the wing but after they disappeared hahaha. Maybe because of the luminosity. But the strange thing that this object was so fast.

Maybe not yet.. but even the ship-borne UAVs are important for the EN.. because the newly to be made Egyptian corvette is made to carry UAVs..

Egypt has the AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-114 Hellfire

It has to be one of the many UCAVs in current inventory because of the munition it drops as it passes. It's much more likely an ordinance delivery platform of some type than an actual missile.

Although they've used cluster munitions in the recent past, this is hardly that, of course. So really, the only thing it can be is an attack fighter (which it doesn't look anything like one) or a UCAV despite hardly having any visible wings. Huge mystery!

Saw this today, made me think what a shame that the radar is hardly what Sukhoi has hyped it out to be, and the other thing that bugged me was the lack of a roundel or any other colorful insignia on the side of the aircraft besides the tail flag. Very boring. Eventually it would be made to look much better with the Arabic serial numbers on the front fuselage, but the lack of a forward roundel makes it missing something substantial.

Look at the air to surface munition in the Egyptian air force inventory.. it doesn't even include the ones carried by UAVs.. the choice is there.. I won't bother with that..

Bro..some Egyptian (SF) air assets don't carry any insignia.. not even on the tail..remember!?
:-) :-)

Yes, of course, the Mirage 2Ks which is why I suggested it could very well be one of the new Edge munitions, besides Al-Tariq. It's certainly unique and something I know I haven't seen before. It's flying at a similar speed as a cruise missile (if you see Tomahawks flying, they're just cruising -- hence "cruise missiles" lol -- and hardly at any supersonic speed AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT SUGGESTING THIS IS A TOMAHAWK lol!) it's just flying like one, or, similar to UAV speeds which are also not really that fast for the most part. At the same time, it seems to be dropping that huge ordinance that explodes right after it zips by but no visible wings.

The last time we saw anything similar to this was that EAF F-16 in Sinai that was flying close to the speed of sound and dropping an Mk-82 or one of the Mks while a Wing Loong or some UAV above it captures the footage. That was very similar to this with the exception of the huge difference in the speed, and the obviously discernable shape of the F-16, as opposed to this strange object.

As far as the insignia on the Su-35, just my opinion since nowadays, they hardly matter at all and are really simply decorative. Honestly, not even sure what the heck they were thinking with the Mirage 2Ks. If any enemy is close enough to see them, then it would never matter since it would be very easy to tell the difference between the EAF 2ks and the Emirati 2Ks, insignia or not. So it seems a bit silly to me TBH lol. But the Su-35s would look so much better with more Egyptian colors. Look at how they butchered the Rafales lol! At least they added the forward roundel to them, but not the MiGs or any Russian AC it seems.

I mean the Egyptian air force has a lot of choice.. it could be anything from that list of air to surface munition in the inventory.. certainly it looked fast and with a rounded head in the video..most likely a guided precision munition..

I guess there is no insignia on the SU-35SE yet because they are still in Russia.. rest assured they will have it with "Tahya Misr" too once they are in Egypt..

But what kind of a munition drops another munition? That's why I'm thinking it must be some type of UCAV.

Then why didn't they do that to the MiGs? I think the Russian aircraft get minimal colors, while all western aircraft are made to add not only insignias, but other markings like the Tahya Misr.

I remember someone mentioning earlier in this thread that the Rafales didn't get the usual orange swaths treatment but were forced to add the gaudy Tahya Misr. It's so Falahy typical lmao! :D

Funny because speaking of the MiGs, when they were in Russia and painted in the desert camo scheme, they did add the roundel to the front fuselage.

But once they changed the camo and delivered them to Egypt, they eliminated the roundel, why? Look how nice that looks and how bland it is without it.
