Egyptian Armed Forces

[Gomig-21]

The armoured vehicles are divided into several types:

* 400 armored CAIMAN CAT I

* 90 Armored RG-33L HAGA CAIMAN CAT I

* 260 RG-33 CAT II armored vehicle

* 12 Armored MAXXPRO MRV (dedicated to the rescue of damaged armor)

This was the first deal.. now the new deliveries are from the second deal.. So Egypt will have more than a 1000 MRAPs now..

Closer to 1,400, bro.

Caiman

United States MRAP
CAT II (6x6) 468

RG-33

United States MRAP
Total 450
RG-33L 360
HAGA 90

That's 1,368.
Add the 12 recovery vehicles for a total of 1,380.

International MaxxPro

United States MRAP Recovery Vehicle
MaxxPro MRV 12

They have an insane amount of vehicles of all types. Even the Hummers, armored, mini ambulatory, utility etc. they have just under 4,000 of them.

The main problem with that many" choices" is training... and interportability...
Right now, having that many types of rifles is not really a problem, maybe for maintenance/parts etc... But what will happen when conflict arise and interportability is needed among soldiers who made all their trainings and service for years and years on few platforms and happen to switch...

Honestly, Barca, that shouldn't be a problem whatsoever. Because a properly trained soldier who has enough time behind an assault rifle and let's say has 3 years of experience using the basic AK-47 and has held and observed some of the other rifles like the SiG-552 or even the ARX-160, once you have that experience, it should take you no less than 30 seconds to recognize where the magazine release button is, where the safety switch is, the settings for semi and full and how to cock it. Done deal. Later you can sit and figure out how to take it apart and learn all the components assembly, sights mounting, cleaning etc. But until then, it you're a properly trained soldier, shouldn't be any problem to pick up an unfamiliar assault rifle and use it immediately and have complete use of it in less than 30 secs.

But I'm with you, though, there's just way too many, especially if some of them are almost identical such as the SIG-516 and the M4. Why have those 2 when they are practically the same copies of each other including caliber? Makes no sense.

So Why not choosing few rifles for specific tasks and make it under licence... Per exemple the CZ rifles could be used as a national one, they are willing to gve rights for it... or Scar or any other suitable candidate ... Masr should think about it...

The army even have QBZ... why..; just why...

I think the QBZ95 was seen here and there and they might've just got a few from the Chinese or confiscated them from crunched or captured cretins, but I don't think it's officially used by any Egyptian units, is it?

Spiffed out Egyptian Air Force Beechcraft 1900C used for reconnassaince, intelligence and surveillance has been performing missions around and east of El Arish as the Egyptian Army has heavily stepped up anti terrorism missions in northern Sinai. Good news and about time.

Looks like it flew for several kilometers right along the Egyptian/Israeli border and security road.

No QBZ is used by terro, if that what you meant by cretins... I never heard of clandestin arms sells of QBZ either... so mostly bought or given by the Chinese gov... could even be made for testing... But I really hope they don't go for it...whatever the unit it is...

Hello there guys I'm New here, been reading this blog for few months now and thought to comment on how I'm a huge fan also I keep checking for new pages everyday .
I see the new Cz-87 in action (Hope I didn't say it wrong) I'm glad it was introduced, it's about time.
Furthermore, I wanted open a point for discussion, which is how the NCO spine is weak in terms of the fact that it isn't professional and was asking if there is any solution for this issue, my recommendation would be not allowing conscripts to join the NCO and not allowing conscripts to serve in Sinai, just keep them in areas such as cairo, Alexandria basically cities, and send the professionals to Sinai and border regions.
Also wanted to talk the fact that more effort should be used to assimilate the tribes in Sinai into the society and use informats to protect them since our intelligence gathering capabilities considering upcoming attacks don't seem to be good, hope y'all have a good day.

I think it's gonna escalate, turks in that base near sudan are close to home, Sudan shouldn't have done it.

No war will happen, since no one in the region could afford such escalation into war...
A diplomatic conflict could worsen with both sides...but they will be no war... for now.

Yeah a war can be a kinda hard to Happen

Ok, I will indulge you one this one, Mr. Anti-Everything-Egypt Ceylal.
Go ahead, tell me exactly what he's doing wrong that makes him lacking "good gun firing practice" whatever that means. I guess you meant good disciplined skills. So tell me what the former Egyptian Chief of Staff, a soldier for over 40 years is doing wrong while firing a fully automatic M4, which he probably has it set on semi in this instance. Let me help a little:
1) He has good posture and solid grip on the weapon.
2) He's shouldering it perfectly.
3) He's not using the sight which is fine when you want to blast away at a large target in close quarters.
4) He has his weight on his forward leg exactly like you're supposed to which is clearly evident by the effect of the recoil the weapon is having on that stance.
5) The only person who can give him a hard time is his wife who can yell at him for not wearing safety glasses to protect his eyes, but this is a grizzled old veteran; try telling any of these guys to wear safety glasses they'll laugh at you.
So what is he doing wrong?

EAF F-16C block 32 #9507 from 242 TFB is heading for the runway for another training sortie.

@Hell NO Trying to make you happy, my bro.
@Frogman , these guys are using the Evo and SIG-552s?

Egyptian Navy Southern Fleet has been inaugurated and based and its headquarters are based out of Safaga naval base along with the establishment of the 2nd navy Special Forces Brigade.

The work is moving along on the 3 new naval bases, Ras Banas Base near the Egyptian/Sudanese border, Garjoub Marine Base near Marsa Matrouh and the Eastern Port Said Maritime Base, which will be responsible for securing the Suez Canal and most likely operations at the new Mediterranean gas fields.

CZ-807

Pakistan will make it too..here is a video when it was tested in Pakistan:

As far as Egypt is concerned, The company representative talks about the full transfer of manufacturing technology which is likely to comprise the same metal alloy..

Local manufacturing of huge numbers up to hundreds of thousands..

No QBZ is used by terro, if that what you meant by cretins...

It's been seen several times. There's at least 2 pics of captured QBZs going back to early 2013. I'll try to find them. There's unique and rare Yugoslavian rifles that were seized from certain groups in Sina. Even the FN2000 was captured from cretins several times. There's all sorts of crap that these vermin bring in with them, some odd mixtures that you can probably track its source, that's why I rejoice when I see footage of a cretin crunching. Oui, cretins, vermins, coackroaches tous sont synomim pour terros.

Cretin in Sinai with an FN2000 equipped with a grenade luncher.

But I really hope they don't go for it...whatever the unit it is...

They won't. You won't see any bullpup design find its way into the EAF.

Earlier Elint models with the canoe faring on the belly.

Another pic in this link here: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/operator/Egyptian Air Force

It looks like they're now operating ones that have newer, built-in ELINT hardware from all the antennas on the spine of the fuselage.

Welcome. Nice to have more Egyptians participating.

LOL! I guess when you have nothing, the best thing to do is pretend, right, Ceylal?
I think we all see what speaks volumes in this case. I'll leave it at that.

Nice pic of UAE AT-802U, similar to the ones used by the EAF in cretin crunching ops in Libya.

“When you have nothing “ are talking about Algeria that saved your asses twice, or you are talking about me?
