Egyptian Armed Forces

According to Armstrade Egypt due to assemble 400 T-90S/SK between 2019-26 with 1.5 billion deal.

Original report said 500 units. BTW, @Frogman is not going to be happy about this.

Imagine if Wahat attack was not carried out , these 16 matyrs saved lots of lives , the Wahat terrorist cell were planning to carry out attacks against churches , civilians and police installations , every one of these bitches killed means saving lives of innocent civilians , one suicide bomber can kill over 50 civilians.

Indeed. This is a very difficult war to fight, so I try to reserve criticism for only when it's obvious that there's been a major botching. At first when the rumors were flying around of 50 killed and all that stuff, I thought something went seriously wrong but then I realized this almost always happens with rumors like in Areesh, they also came out with 80-100 killed which wasn't true either. Unfortunately this is a war that will go on for a very long time.

I'm not happy either with this news!
A lot of people are not!!

................
Great footage of that bombing mission of 4-6 trucks coming in from Libya with weapons and amo. Looks like they're using up a lot of Hellfires & PGMs including CBU100 cluster munitions @0.42

............

Can you imagine that Al-Sisi said in a statement that in "the last year only, more than 1,000 vehicles used by terrorists to cross the border into Egypt had been destroyed" ?

In another statement he said that "Egypt destroyed 300 vehicles trying to cross the border from Libya in a period of two months".

Surely not all of them were terrorists. smugglers too are being targeted.
But that's the way that things should be going.
Enough arms coming from Libya already!.

He talked about "Three vehicles destroyed" + There's one more at the end.

Egyptian naval and air force units are in Greece taking part in "Medusa 5" joint drills.
The drills will last for several days and come within the framework of a joint training plan between the Egyptian Armed Forces and sisterly and friendly countries.
Egyptian Mistral aircraft carrier and Fremm Frigate along with Submarine (41) along with war jets are taking part in the military exercises along with Greek naval units.

At this point I'm just going to ignore everything except the deals with France. Those I'm happy about.

By the way which BVR Egypt will use with Rafale and also with MIG-35

Very nice. And the 2nd Rafale in the rear is the first time we've seen the impressive Damocles pod on any of the Egyptian Rafales.

Here's a question for anyone @randomradio would probably know this or @MICA (since they're the experts in Rafales) but notice there's only one jet carrying the pod but both jets carrying Hammers? So will the one pod work for both aircraft or not?

-Damocles features a long-range laser designator, an integrated navigation FLIR and high-resolution imagery, and is fully compatible with Paveway and BGL laser-guided bombs, imagery-guided weapons, and AASM GPS/INS/LASER-guided weapons.
-It also features a reconnaissance capability with instant transmission of imagery to ground stations. Overall robustness and ease of maintenance have been improved.
-It is capable of guiding laser weapons to their extreme range (16 km) and identifying armoured vehicle targets at 27 km also conducting post-strike analysis at the same range.

That's the one I was talking about in my previous post. That F-16 was humming! That guy was lucky that bomb didn't land on his head. Nice, precision striking by the F-16 boys. They're getting a lot of good practice.

Can you imagine that Al-Sisi said in a statement that in "the last year only, more than 1,000 vehicles used by terrorists to cross the border into Egypt had been destroyed" ?

I saw that, bro. This was why I was saying they're using a lot of precision munitions. Their hit ratio should be 100% considering they're using the Sniper XR pods with the Block 52's and Hellfires on the Apaches even the WingLoong success rate should be very high. It's just that they're using up a lot of weapons, and not just dumb bombs either.

They also did a nice job rescuing the Captain. This is the kind of stuff we like to see.

Who's the kid playing the trumpet? Oh ma God did they just hand any sailor a trumpet and told him to just blow in it? Do you hear that ridiculous noise? Fadiha ya Amir! lol

BTW the Hellenic Air Force intercepted over 37 violations of national airspace by Turkish F-16s & CN-235 patrol aircraft. Apparently they weren't happy about this Greek/Egyptian exercise (which is not the first) happening in the Aegean Sea. Ta3alu ya Torkeyeen entu malkom?

But the Greeks have some really nice equipment, landing their Longbow Apaches on the Mistral was very cool, amognst some other helos from their navy. Tikanis kala afgharisto parakalo.

By the way which BVR Egypt will use with Rafale and also with MIG-35

MICA IR & ER with the Rafales and R-73 and R-77 with the MiGs.

See the difference!

HAF and EAF are doing a pretty good job in coordinating .. They are sending a message!

Egyptian Naval and Air Force units carried out the main phase of joint drills in Greece "Medusa 5". The drills lasted for several days and came within the framework of a joint training plan between the Egyptian Armed Forces and friendly countries.
The exercise witnessed several activities including planning, joint conduct of hostilities for naval and air forces, search and rescue measures and ways of cooperation between units and marine propulsion.

The two sides showed high accuracy and efficiency during joint air reconnaissance as well as attack and defense sorties as a part of the exercise.The "Medusa 5" is one of the most important activities carried out as part of the joint exercises plan for the armed forces of the two countries, Egypt and Greece.

The activities are taking place for the second time this year. Other activities were being held in Egypt near the coast of Alexandria, in the light of military cooperation relations with Greece.

@Gomig-21 the Rafale can share images from another friendly carrying a reco or targeting pod in real life time with no lag so only one needed

All the Hammers in a group can use targeting information from one pod.

Both of you gentlemen get extra meat on your shawerma sandwiches. A lot of people think each aircraft needs its own pod, when that's not the case. The Damocles is so impressive even the Russians have decided to license produce it for their Su-30 line after seeing what the Indonesians did with the integration of the pod and their Su-30s. Malaysians are even using French helmets in their Su-30MKMs.

Check out minute 7:38 Malaysian pilot with French helmet having a blast in his Su-30 rocking the double hand horns!

A Fadiha indeed! But not the big ones with Putin and Hollande !!

I can't believe how bad it/they/everything is. This is so embarrassing I don't know if I should laugh or cry. And they've been bad for a very long time, even at the graduation ceremonies they are awful! But in front of other presidents? Those should be the best never mind the naval band. Yalahwee.

Egypt and Greece.

I love how the Greeks are using our Mistral like it's theirs and they're landing all sort of helos on and off and they seem to be controlling the entire deck! They had several of their Chinooks with SFs and it looked like 2 separate squadrons of Apaches and also their unique S-70B Seahawk. This is about as close as it gets to interoperability. Fantastic. Now if only the band can tune their instruments and learn how to play!

Oh man our EAF did encircle those bastards indeed!

LOL! I'm glad I saw that video before it got taken down. EAF Apache pilot playing back the extermination of vermin on his cockpit TV display and then smiling giving the thumbs up looool! You know what that's called, Amir? Cretin Crunching! Cockroach Extermination. Vermin Eradication. Scum Scuttling, all done with a smile and a thumbs up.

BTW, there was a report that the Cretin Crunching that took place in Fayoum last week was done using AT-802 aircraft. Very interesting that they're using all these different types.

We have opted for Israeli stuff instead. They are the best.

And the Talios is even better than the Damocles, still not as good as Israeli though.

The issue with Indonesia, Malaysia and even Egypt is that they don't deal with Israel.

Brazilians have also chosen Israeli stuff for their Gripens.
