Good choice, since Egypt has already about 50 avenger systems in its arsenal.. there won't be much needs for spare parts or ammunition..

"In March 2017, Boeing revealed a modernized Avenger system fitted with AIM-9X Sidewinder and Longbow Hellfire missiles on the sides and a directed energy weapon affixed to the top. It is also planned to be integrated onto other platforms including the JLTV, Stryker, and Bradley Fighting Vehicle"

They're certainly going to need some kind of transport helo, in decent numbers, too. They can use the Mi-8/17 in the meantime but they'll eventually need a dedicated, maritime-built transport helo to cope with the environment, but especially dedicated.

I hope they don't plan on using the Humvee with the Avenger to run around the flat-top lol. That's the thing with any carrier of any size, it's a snowball effect with all the needed supporting pieces to have an effective and well defended platform. It'll be interesting to see if they use a sea-bound refueling ship or just port it when needed. All the accompanying logistical platforms to have an effectively operating LHD are a handful.

Yep... but still it's a kind of strange pic.

I guess so too.. there are two systems in contention for that role, a French one and a Russian one.. Avenger with the new version 2017 _as mentioned in my previous post_ is quite interesting too..

The Avenger can be stationary too.. the US has some ground platforms with it..

I'm sorry, bro, I just thought it was interestingly funny (certainly uniquely Egyptian) the way they had the Avenger-mounted Humvee on the deck of the Mistral, but I suppose it's ok for a temporary SD solution. Last I remember they were looking at a Chinese system, but it looks like they'll be going Russian which makes sense.

The Mistral is armed with naval artillery Nexter NARWAHL 20mm RWS

mistral wont go in any mission without AAW ships & i think it will be perry class after upgrading
now egypt use some systems on mistrals for just training like avengers,gazelle ..etc which will never be main systems in mistral
