We should be hearing some new information soon regarding the development of the MICA NG. With the new batch coming, we'll also have to keep an eye on the associated pods, if they have moved to the Talios instead of the Damocles being that it's the latest version. And of course, just like that pic would be interesting to see not only the promised meteors, but the newer versions of HAMMERs.
I can't remember how many EMs & DMs are in this new package? I think there was 8 single seats and 16 two seats in the original order. Might need a larger number of the EMs in this batch to balance the duties & give A2A a larger role with the single seats. Unless they have a different philosophy on the matter which might be the case the way they ordered double the number of 2 seat DMs in the first order.
Egyptians have big teeth if this is true.
True. Ballistic missiles are essential to a military's strength. That site at Abu Zaibal has been known to be the underground location for the Condor ballistic missile program that Iraq & Egypt joined with the original member of that program, Argentina. Obviously they were the founder of the program being that Condors are only native to Argentina/South America and southern California lol. I don't think they would've named it the Condor Project had it been incepted in either Iraq or Egypt lol. The CIA had released a paper about this warning the Nixon administration I believe (@The SC would have to correct me if I'm wrong) way back in the mid-60s and right after that, obviously 1967 happened and the program was put on the shelf.
In the last 10 years with Sisi in charge, as that video shows, it's been slowly rebuilt section by section, especially the production site for the solid fuel propellant motors has undergone quite the expansion. And the obvious indication that it's been up and running is the several SAM ramped platforms they've also built around the site. And good for them and us. That's what we like to see, the initiative towards arming the country to its best ability to defend itself. As far as the ballistic missiles themselves, the video has a lot of interesting prognostications regarding those.
