The fleet of F-16s currently in service with the Egyptian Air Force (EAF) is reported to receive significant upgrades soon.
The U.S. administration is said to have approved these upgrades.
@Gomig-21 @The SC @Hydration
Imagine it is true. We need someone to hack it the article so we can see what they are saying hahaha. Inshallah AIM-120 with it.
Tank crews finally using flame retardant clothing and Kevlar helmets. Tank crews used to be inappropriately equipped for work in hazardous confined areas where fatal owner rations and bumps are a real possibility
@Buschlaid you might appreciate some EIFV (Egyptian IFV) photos, didn’t see them around Cairo at all (Wiki states only one was built and tested).

Everyone, what do you think?
Did USA give us guided munitions like those of Ukraine (the Himars) ?M270/Sakr 45 is some serious business in the Egyptian army.
It seems everything with Belarus and Serbia is wrapped in secrecy after those initial announcements.. I guess all is going well..What is the status with these, bro? Have they agreed to a ToT contract yet?
The main problem is that it's very unlikely the US would offer anything of this sort or caliber unless it was getting something huge in return, and we all know what that probably is. There is no way they will upgrade the EAF Falcons to Vipers and be ok with the EAF receiving the Su-35 as well. Unless the EAF was somehow able to get both, it would be a most excellent miracle by them. Otherwise they accept the upgrade and lose the Flankers or tell the US to take a hike. Take a walk on the wild side and kick rocks while it's at it. That would be my preference if given the choice. The current F-16s are fantastic and more than good enough the way they are for the purpose they serve and a viper upgrade is nowhere near worth losing 2+ squadrons of "freedom" Flankers.
Indeed. Those old Soviet rubber head wraps lol were the worst ever. Maybe in the 1960s they were fine, but nowadays they should be issued much better helmets and not just the commanders.
Navy SOF are using the PASGT combat helmets and vests and I believe only special OPFS Sa'aka are using the newer Ops=Core FAST Helmet which should be much more in use with most infantry as standard issue.
Shame that it never entered production. After Helwan factory finalized assembly plans with BAE, they built that single prototype in 1996/97 and it was basically halted for unknown reason. It was really an excellent platform and a great M-113 modification that would end up with an automated turret and a 2-pack TOW missile launcher with 4 more in stowage. I think the issue was really mostly because the vehicle had to stop in order to fire the TOW missile. I think they saw that as a huge vulnerability and were going to use a different system that could fire just as accurately as the TOW but on the fly, but they never pushed the issue beyond that and it basically fizzled out, on top of cost of course.
The other reason also was that they had so many M-113s that seemed much more practical as they were for the scope of the Egyptian army and specifically for the infantry that they saw that as a much more efficient model to leave as is.
M270/Sakr 45 is some serious business in the Egyptian army.

Belarus and serbia are big russian allies, so they'll keep their deals secret naturallyIt seems everything with Belarus and Serbia is wrapped in secrecy after those initial announcements.. I guess all is going well..
We will see the smaller EN made ships first..as for the corvette it will be 2024 at best..most likely 2024-26So maybe we will see CC-60 corvet in 2023/2024?
Did USA give us guided munitions like those of Ukraine (the Himars) ?
I thought himars vehicle chassis is designated m30 or m31Not for the M270. HIMARS is a different setup (M142 I believe) but the number of units is not even known, just that the last batch produced in 2003 were for the Egyptian Army. Speculations that they're about 40 units and that the Egyptian Army is building its own Sakr rockets for the system because replacing them is very expensive through the US.
Not sure unless you're referring to something different from this?I thought himars vehicle chassis is designated m30 or m31
