Some nice new close-ups of 3 of the newest EAF heavy member.
Will these be delivered next year?

Theoretical modernisation of M1A1 with indigenous RWS similar to CROWS.
I agree, it is probably for naval use like this Westland Seaking is.
Something tells me that the obvious paint scheme and particularly the color that at least this particular helicopter will be designated for naval usage. Whether for strictly SAR or transport and utility, the smoky grey is typically a naval color scheme and the Italians were using this AW-139 for their navy as an SAR designated helo if I'm not mistaken.
Prior to this order, the armed forces were operating 2 AW-139 helos and both were painted in the red & white SAR mission colors and used strictly in that way.
Here's the Italian one used in their navy, assuming "Aeronautica Militare" is Italian for "Naval Military"?
I can only hope the Egyptian tank project will be succesful. It will allow Egypt to do whatever the hell it wants with its own tanks instead of having to listen to the nagging of the Americans about any small thing.The Egyptian Abrams could've had A LOT of add-ons as well as beneficial modifications to suit the harsh desert environment but are handcuffed with regulations to do absolutely nothing without US permission, especially on modifications or add-ons that would be exponential improvements such as an APC system.
Not until the engines getting constantly and intolerably cutout because of the OEM air filters getting way too clogged up from all the EGY desert sand and dust that the Egyptian engineers -- from A LOT of previous experiences with this exact issue on many other forms of armored vehicles and even helicopters --- had developed their own, indigenous air filter that was made up of very simple material yet didn't allow the dust and sand to collect and clog on this material and gave the engines so much more air breathing conditions that they were running a huge percentage better (with all those non-existent clogging now) and having replaced all the filters on approximately 1,300 tanks without approaching the US about it (since they thought it was an essential thing to do and not a big deal) but mentioned in a following maintenance logging and once the US officials learned about this new filter installed without their approval on the Abrams, they took a nutty of epic proportions.
On one of the TV programs I was watching about this particular event, the military personnel talking about the situation was shaking his head and of course they went into the inability to make any improvements on almost all US machinery no matter what kind without US approval FIRST and whenever they promote any idea first like the US wants and contacts to be done, the Egyptians are almost 100% denied the modification for some reason or another.
Most think that it's only the AIM-120 and the Long Bow radar for the Apache that are the denied items from US equipment when the reality is much worst than that and why since Sisi has been president, Egypt had been looking elsewhere for almost every single thing including tanks.

New Recruit
Turkey Navy also doesn't have long range air Defenses in their NavyWow. Now Egypt has modern destroyers while Turkey don't have any destroyer. Egypt > Turkey

But the FREMM Bergamini from what it offers from capabilities it's a destroyerBut they're still a very powerful navy, arguably the most powerful in the MENA region. Besides, I don't think they consider or label the FREMMs by either the French or Italian-built ones as 'destroyers' either. Destroyers are the next class & size up from these. The FREMMs are considered frigates, I'm pretty sure.
