We aren’t looking forward for F-15Es, we are looking forward for an unrestricted sale of weapons for Egypt’s desires by the US, and their change of views on the military balance in the region from a lesser well equipped, large ground force Egypt to a NATO level equipped Egypt.
Today, a report came out to the American Congress that said that America wants to obtain an Egyptian pledge to cancel Egypt's purchases of Russian weapons, meaning the Su-35SE deal in exchange for American alternatives such as the F-15 strike and the development of the F-16 fleet..
Kos om America wel khalefooha
Meaning
- The sale of JHMCS, JDAMs, AIM-120C7, AIM-9X in excess.
- A planned replacement for most of the current Egyptian F-16 fleet on a 1 for 1 basis by delivering at least 200 F-16Vs around the year 2030.
- The freedom to develop and experiment local modifications and systems, meaning the supply of “Plug & Play computers” for Egyptian F-16s and any potential F-15s.
- The providence of M1A2 upgrade kits for Egypt’s Armoured Corps.
- Should they be all hair-pulling regarding Egypt’s requests of F-35 sales, they should at least demonstrate a minimum commitment to a close gap between Egypt and any other military in the region by selling AESA radars for Egyptian Fighters and Air Defence systems.
If the Americans are not accepting these terms then there is no point to go forward with their intentions regarding a Middle Eastern Military Alliance. Rather stamp their heads with “Israel-guided drones” and land in Rome, Paris, Berlin or Beijing. Be sure to start replacing the F-16 fleet with J10s and have the M1A1s as rapid deployment tanks, battlefield reserves as you introduce some 1000 K2 Black Panthers to the Egyptian Army. Replace Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates, purchase 4-6 more submarines, invest in local missiles in an orderly fashion and sit by the Red Sea wearing sunglasses.
