Egyptian Armed Forces

My friend, Most probably, After feasibility studies completed, Turkey will invite some Arab countries (such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE...etc) to join into developments of TF-X program. Officials clearly point out that Proceeding such a big program on her own resources are almost impossible or expensive so Within 2 years, Turkey will need friend countries to join into TF-X fighter program. As far as I know, Undersecretariat of Turkish defence industry officials arrange some meetings in mentioned countries to introduce the TF-X program...

Question are the egyptian Abram tank made in egypt or just assembled in Egypt?

New post :-)

About M1A1/A2 :

Egypt obtained US approval in 1984 to build a factory to produce new tanks. Under the initial agreement, the Egyptians would assemble 524 M1A1 tanks, and Egyptian officials hoped that this number would eventually rise to 1,500 tanks. Six production cycles were established initially, with each increment increasing the level of technology from General Dynamics Land Systems. Beginning in mid-1992, Egypt started assembling M1A1 tank components imported from the United States. Egypt manufactured about 40% and imported 60% of the components for the 555 tanks produced. The cost was estimated at $3.2 billion. The Egyptians also will produce the 120-mm cannon as well as an increasing number of parts for the tank. Egyptian officials said the goal was to make Cairo self-sufficient in tank production

Well ..
Because officials statements are very few about egyptian selections in future and in the last 10 years !! ..
And by knowing the egyptian policy in armement : not to depend on one supply ..
Air force 4 example : fighters from Russia / USA / France / China / ..

Also if we put the egyptian refusal of CISMOA in mind and other political issues ..
(no fighters from USA for 10 years !- except the latest 20 f-16 /+52) ..

Furthermore .. the last aircraft deals from china + Russia ..
The Chairman of AOI statement ..

Egypt is set to produce its first fighter and drone "in cooperation with a foreign side", official MENA news agency reported Saturday
"Talks and negotiations are underway about a project to produce Egypt's first fighter and drone plane," MENA quoted Lt. General Hamdy Waheba, Chairman of Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI),.....The official did not name the foreign party which will take a hand at the process, according to SABA, but said that Waheba added that, "Local production of the aircraft will meet the demand of the Egyptian Armed Forces, as it will be sold at a very competitive price."

In other statement he mentioned " we plan to produce helicopter , UAV and fighters in cooperation with Russia and China" ...

We can see that EAF 5+ g fighter would be from Russia / china (hopefully co-production)..

== My point of view==
 
Egypt should focus on getting BVR technology and Missiles on all Fighter Planes they have and also on getting new Frigates and Submarines specially Submarines
