I think addition of PANTSIR S2 and S400 one more Air Defense system will add some real fire power. But Egypt would also have to work that in case of war with Israel. Israel doesn't manage to jam Egypt's Air Defense Radar systems
I would have to agree with @HannibalBarca on this one, Zarvan, I think we're at a good point with the ADS and really all we need are a few more batteries of the S-300VM. 3 brigades is a decent amount but we have a lot of critical infrastructure and now with a lot of the newly built military installations and naval stations, a larger force of the S-300VM itself would be the right thing. And then in time, increase the TOR/BUK M2 as well since those are absolutely viscous SAMs. I don't think we need the S-400 simply because really, the only advantage to that over the S-300VM is an additional 100 kilometers. I know that sounds like a lot, but not if we're talking a difference between 300km and 400km. What we need to concentrate on are most definitely our naval ships and their potency with their built-in missile systems, add more modern submarines and get those 2 Mistrals fully equipped with defensive systems and Ka-52 Katrans.
Besides, Israel and Egypt are friends anyway. We've had 40 years of peace and relations are growing by the day and there aren't even any tensions between us, quite the opposite. I bet you if they solved the Palestinian issue, we would be some of the best of friends! There's no conflict with them. If anything, the country that is directly to our north across the Mediterranean is a MUCH bigger problem, and I'm not talking about the Island of Cyprus. Those are the ones who have made enemies of us and we need to keep a huge eye in the sky with regards to their arrogance and meddling in our internal affairs and business, not to mention their continuous support of the terrorist group that is killing our soldiers and civilians and Egyptian Christians and trying to destabilize the country. THAT is the enemy. @Crocodile is 100% right on the money with that.
I have to agree with you on that, with the recent formidable gas discoveries, we should be more vigilant to the saber rattling of the mad sultan and his tendency to harass and steel from his weaker neighbors. Given these circumstances, the building up of our naval power can't go fast enough, we need to step up our game or we'll be next.
Especially when he just got re-elected, his ball sacks have probably doubled in size and now will be even more of a donkey. Mal3oun abu omu Allah yekhreb betu w'bet abu. Wallahi ana ma3andeesh moshkela lama bashtemu keda. 24/7. BTW, enta kont fenak ya kbeir?
Major General al-Ghabari: We made "19" adjustments to the American M1A1 Tank and this has angered the Americans..
The funny thing is the one example he talks about (and he even mentions they were discussed with the Americans and approved) when they noticed the American tanks in Iraq having issues with the pure, finer desert sand getting into the air intakes and causing fires in the motors, they decided to make finer filters on the Egyptian Abrams to eliminate that problem. That one item doesn't sound like a big deal but what surprises me is when he says they refused to share it with the Americans?! Not sure why they would do that TBH. Of course that would anger the US, not necessarily the adjustments or modifications themselves.
