Hiding a Buk or hiding a 24 Su-35, indeed two very different things. And photoshopped, not really a surprise. So we can agree that all signs are that nothing has been delivered to Egypt yet.

Well, the delivery aspect can be argued as to how many units might've already made the trip and are put away, as in locked up behind several doors since there are a few credible sources that have made the claim of 5 already delivered plus a possible 12 more. I think that is as far as things went until the US stuck its filthy greedy finger in there and made the EAF go into the position it did. The latter is the sad part as I'm sure the overwhelming majority of us would've cheered them on and fully supported them had they told the US to go to hell and take CAATSA with them. But they've done nothing on the sort.

The sad part of all this is if you look at all my contributions, they've been nothing but well-deserved because they've always come through and with surprises. But then they take us for a ride and not even make a statement, that's when they'll get criticized from today until they make good either on this one or the next one. We've always given them excellent credit when deserved, but they also deserve their share of criticism when they screw things up royally.

I think the sources that say 5 delivered (in 2020) refer to the delivery by the factory to a base in Russia. The question if they moved on from there to Egypt and if not why not. It is possible that they remain in Russia while Egyptian pilots are trained etc. But that is just speculation.

Good choices on the Egyptian part, frankly, the Egyptian armament recently is impressive, especially in terms of the radars that were contracted in the last decade from the European and Russian parties, a really great lineup..

Egypt's compass in developing its armed forces began to become clear ..

For the navy, the large ships from Europe, and a decision to design and manufacture corvettes hulls and missile boats entirely locally, armed with European technology (radars,missiles...etc)..

And now for the first time heading to East Asia with Tanks and Howitzers and the joint production of the wonderful Korean gun, even if it is a step ten years late, but the gun is excellent..

The Korean tank is also excellent and is considered the most recent tank on the production lines in the world and has not completed a decade of service in the Korean army.. It remains distinct With a package of technical equipment, a distinctive millimeter radar and great situational awareness capabilities that make it an excellent tank.. it is the best contract that can be obtained..

There is actually an existing cooperation with Thales to manufacture drones or some parts of the drones, such as the observation and vision system of the drones that appeared in the last exhibition..

Also for the drones, Egypt is in negotiations now with the Italian company Leonardo, in accordance with the emergence of the possibility of Egypt contracting of the Aermacchi M-346 advanced trainer plane..

With regard to the cooperation of guided munitions, a large and extensive cooperation has already been concluded with the sisterly UAE in the field of guided and smart munitions and drones, where an investment fund value of 14 billion dollars that has been established in Egypt..

Also, some French newspapers showed that Egypt wants devices to manufacture missile/bomb guiding systems to convert unguided missiles to guided ones.. The Arab Organization for Industrialization is the one who is supervising this deal..

After it was shown at EDEX 2021, Egypt received requests to sell the Egyptian ghost sniper suit, which changes colors like a chameleon depending on the nature of the place where the fighter wearing it is.

The Egyptian military suit is distinguished by the fact that it can not be detected by infrared rays or radars, and its colors change automatically.. It is used in rugged places without being detected..

The Egyptian invention was made by the experts and engineers of the Military Technical College..

After this system entered service with the Egyptian Air Defense Forces and subjected it to tests and rigorous examination against all potential air threats, whether typical or atypical, this system won the admiration of all Egyptian army experts. And this is not only for the reasons currently mentioned in all global and Arab military sites of being the most powerful European air defense system in terms of technological development or that it is not subject to interference due to its highly complex revolutionary guidance system and the negative searches in the missile head, which allows it to intercept its targets without the enemy feeling it Or its high fire density of up to 48 missiles per battery, in addition to its unique aerodynamic design and its highly advanced engine equipped with TVC technology, which allows the missile to pursue the fastest, flexible and dynamic targets at the lowest altitudes in the world and an unprecedented reaction speed as soon as it is launched from Vertical launchers at 360-degree angles, which is a very important feature in making the blind area around any battery close to zero. This is the weakness that modern suppression weapons, including suicide drones, have exploited in achieving their recent successes.

And everything we mentioned above is not the most important reason. When this system was tested in Egypt, the Egyptian Air Defense Forces confirmed that it is the best system in the world capable of working against the atypical threats that have recently appeared on the battlefield around the world. The German system is rightly considered a (drone hunter) of all types and models, whether reconnaissance, armed or suicide bombers. In addition to its superior ability to confront the munitions to suppress air defenses, whether anti-radiation missiles, smart bombs, or modern cruise missiles, and even possesses the capabilities of anti-to-ground tactical missiles or modern missile launchers equipped with smart warheads.

All this made this system the “strong bodyguard” for the rest of the air defense systems operating in the Egyptian Air Defense Forces, with a protection circle with a diameter of up to 80 km in the (SLM) version and 160 km in the latest version (SLX), meaning that it will cover the blind area of all defense systems The long- and medium-range aerial systems that operate at a ceiling height and higher range and are located within the coverage circle with efficiency and intensity are the best in the world and in complete silence. When linked to the early warning network, they will act as a silent killer capable of addressing the latest armament systems in the world specialized to extinguish air defenses, whether anti-radiation missiles or Drones of all kinds, tactical ballistic missiles, or advanced smart rocket launchers. This is, of course, in addition to shooting down all fighters and helicopters of all shapes and sizes, and even being able to shoot down high-speed anti-ship missiles.

The Egyptian Air Force plans to acquire more Su-35 fighters
October 19, 2021
Reports from Cairo indicate that the Egyptian Air Force (EAF) will receive a new batch of Sukhoi Su35 fighters from the Russian company JSC Sukhoi. The same reports indicate that this comes as part of a new Egyptian-Russian deal that was signed at the beginning of 2021.

Egypt will receive eight additional Su-35 fighters as well as flight training simulators.

In addition, the Russian company JSC Sukhoi will send a team of specialists to provide engineering support.
The team will be stationed at armed forces bases to carry out repairs and provide logistical support for the new and previously acquired Su35 fighters in Egypt. Russia is expected to deliver the new Su35 fighters within four to five months. However, the exact date of delivery is still unknown,

Currently, JSC Sukhoi is adjusting the internal program of fighters, at the request of the Armed Forces Command.
In fact, Egypt requested that the fighter program be made more compatible with the Radar Integration and Surveillance Command Center (RISC2), which is used to communicate and coordinate between different types of aircraft.
Sources close to the situation say that Egypt has encountered difficulties in integrating the Su35 in RISC2.

According to some news at EDEX 2021, delivery will go on till 2023 or beyond..

The featured shot is of a multi-role Rafale fighter aircraft of the Egyptian Air Force. The photo shows the Rafale armed with 6 AASM-Hammer bombs, an acronym for Armement Air-Sol Modulaire.

These French-made bombs are manufactured by the Safran company, and Egypt owns this bomb within the framework of the Rafale aircraft deal. It is guided by the inertial navigation system INS, the Global Positioning System (GPS), or by infrared IR or by laser. The method of guidance varies according to the bomb version.

The range of the bomb reaches more than 60 km if it was thrown from high altitudes, and it reaches a range of 15 km if it was thrown from low altitudes. Its weight varies according to the nature and type of the mission. Its weight ranges between 125 kg, 250 kg, 500 kg and 1000 kg. It features Fire and Forget quality..

could it be for the new corvettes…?

 

[The SC]

could it be for the new corvettes…?

Yes of course and even for future projects.. Japan is one of the most advanced countries in Radar technology.. apparently it was the first in the world to test and implement an AESA radar on its F2 fighters..a version of the US F-16 but a little bigger..!!

Caracal and AIO have a joint agreement according to a deleted article from Tacticalreport.com

If a factory could be setup in Egypt, Caracal 816 could become the standard rifle hopefully.
