Ok thank you.Rheinmetall Denel produces unguided munitions (mortar, MK series, etc) and isn’t related to Denel Dynamics.

Denel barely has the ability to produce missiles now, they couldn’t even get a loan to produce Umkhonto missiles for Egypt so they ended up losing the contract.Ok thank you.
But KSA and UAE are buying the same products by getting licence etc...? So for you the emirati air to air missile will be the Marlin BVR missile but does Denel produce short range and IR missiles?Denel barely has the ability to produce missiles now, they couldn’t even get a loan to produce Umkhonto missiles for Egypt so they ended up losing the contract.
Only the Al Tariq has direct relationship to Denel still while the Desert Sting and Thunder were developed by Denel originally but now made independently with Halcon owning full IP and production rights and being able to modify them in house.But KSA and UAE are buying the same products by getting licence etc...?

Any timeline to know when it will be showcased?Only the Al Tariq has direct relationship to Denel still while the Desert Sting and Thunder were developed by Denel originally but now made independently with Halcon owning full IP and production rights and being able to modify them in house.
They siphoned a lot of engineers from South Africa which enables them to pursue projects independent of Denel now.
I don’t think the Emirati a2a missile will be identical but it will be similar to the Marlin or A-Darter.
It’s too bad I don’t have you on Instagram or other platforms because I would be able to share a lot more that I don’t share on this website about this.
Yes, I would say it’s a 90% chance of being seen at IDEX or the Dubai airshow next year.Any timeline to know when it will be showcased?
When will it be?Yes, I would say it’s a 90% chance of being seen at IDEX or the Dubai airshow next year.

@ARCH٤R , remember these gorgeous Mirage Vs? And this was one of the 24 aircraft the EAF sent to France to upgrade them with the Horus package by Sagem which upgraded their avionics and SNA Comms and a few other items. Military Aviation had an article on when these and this particular upgrade package where they claimed it made these Mirage Vs better than the 2000s in the fleet. Not sure of the validity of that although MA magazine is quite reputable and has never made bogus claims. The only problem is that if they were in fact better equipped and capable than the 2000s, why would the EAF retire them and keep the 2Ks in service?! That doesn't make sense, actually. So something is a bit off with that scenario.

I hope we will produce locally some scopes like ACOG, Red Dot sight.At least the 'stamped' receiver is for sure, right?! This was an original limited series IIRC they made only a small batch of for the Sa'aka or Navy SOF one or the other I forget which one exactly, but these were from 2005-07. Not sure about the scope I doubt it TBH back then. The receiver, pistol grip, barrel the entire upper receiver & body is Maadi but probably not the buttstock or the forward grip or the picatinny rails or scopes. Those were probably easier to purchase all modular parts separately and assembled.
But the new, all-black Maadi Misr you posted pics of a little while back that they're putting into production is most likely completely locally built, including the picatinny rails & stocks and grips since I'm sure Maadi is making them for many of the other models in the military.
Indeed, the deal was in 2011 and was not completed by Nigeria, but I was not sure of itYes, good spot. I was waiting for someone to notice those very interesting ships. The paint jobs on them are also exactly like that but there is still a mystery behind those as there is no indication that the EN did in fact purchase these ships. Do you know if they ended up in the Egyptian Navy or did the deal collapse at the last minute? Because there is no record I can find of them in all the list of ships in the EN from 1952 until now
