Egyptian Armed Forces

[Mahmoud_EGY]

Do you know the size of the unit and might it be used for overseas operations " MB monkeys in eastern libya ? " .

Excellent force to deal with any major militiant group operating close to Egypt borders , I am sure this is set up to deal with any threats from Libya because there is not much in Egypt right now except sinai which is under the first army assigments .

Anyway it is important to have such forces ready to deal with any minor threats that might come out from Libya or Sudan , after all you border failed states and gaza to .

How many special forces do you think the unit includes ? like 3-4 brigadges ?

libya is the source of all problems all the weapons in the hands of terroriests are from libya and the bad thing is it doesnt look good in the future without help from us or algira they may never be a country again

I get what you mean , there has to be intervension in Eastern Libya at some point by Egypt , I think this force was set up for this reason because this huge firepower and equipment for such a force is designed to deal with heavily armed militiants something you do not really have in Egypt.

Something else if Sissi manages to work out things with Sudan and having some of these forces training on Ethiopia/Sudan border would help you a lot in your Dam negotiations .

I bet these troops have been trained for extreme sabotage operations

libya is the source of all problems all the weapons in the hands of terroriests are from libya and the bad thing is it doesnt look good in the future without help from us or algira they may never be a country again

Anyway how many special forces can you estimate in this unit force ?

I would guess around 3 battalions. Each battalion consisting of about 500-800 men.

The Special Force's (first picture) have been issued with the Renault Sherpa.

The APC's issued to the regular infantry are the Reva V LWB and Reva III LWB plus the T6 Pantera.

Great amateur edited video.

I read on Debka citing a 10,000 commando force , by the way 3 month ago debka reported on Sissi plans to set up a special force to deal with internal and external terrorism threats .

From the video and pictures its actually accurate I can see at-least 2 special force brigades , such a big force must be for a purpose more than Just dealing with internal terror , I guess it might be used in future to deal with threats in eastern libya

The entire reactive force is almost a division, i.e. 10,000 men, which include; special forces and mechanised infantry plus other supporting units, from the EAF for example.

The reactive force would be the first units of the Egyptian Armed Forces to respond to any threat, however, they will not be the only units to respond to that threat. They are simply a force that is held at a higher state of readiness than the rest of the forces.

I think a good example of how reactive forces work is 16 Air Assault in Her Majesty's Armed Forces.

Egyptian Armed Forces Officers receive training in the Ukraine on how to effectively operate and maintain the new vehicles.

Money, Money, and yet Money will talk when the Egyptian politics will settle down, and the budget will be freed from corruption.
Egypt already showed a serious interest in a joint venture with Pakistan to make the J-17 locally, it will happen in the right time.

The EAF (Egyptian Air Force) is said to have already signed a contract for 24 Mig-29 M\M2, should have been the Su-35 instead and here is why

Good article. What are the cost comparisons? Since this is the main issue.
What about the F-15 s for EAF?
IAF gets it warplanes almost for free, so how can one compare cost wise.

I mentioned at the end of the article that the Su-35 is significantly more expensive than the Mig-29 M\M2.
As far as the F-15s, the United States refused selling them to Egypt twice, also the same with the F\A-18s, even F-16s above block 52, nothing!!! That is why the EAF needed a modern 4++ Generation badly
