Excellent article! Brings into prospective many things! Thank you for that.

Yes, I know there is no mention of it BUT given the long history of secrecy of the Egyptian Armed Forces it is possible that they have it but there is no mention of it in open sources. Such was the case with the AMX jet and few other weapon systems, and like I mentioned it in my reply before...

For me its the Rafale. It is just sexy! Has graceful lines

Here is a little article I wrote on the Egyptsat-2 satellite. Hope you guys like it.

I think unity is a dream we all have, but the form or shape by which it will happen changes by time, but like the saying goes all roads lead to Rome, in the past unity was based more on ideology, but now its more on religion, and yes I have to agree that Arab Nationalism is not what it used to...

I'm glad to be here brother among knowledgeable people like yourself, thank you, much appreciated. I disagree with you on that, maybe Arab Nationalism is not as strong as it was decades ago, but believe me it is still alive and well, has its own believers, myself included. I think this dam...

Its Bigger than that! It is the simple concept of yes, countries like Ethiopia can build a even start construction dam is what is threatening as it will encourage others to do so, and before you know it there will be many of them and Egypt is screwed!! So as Sudan! It is one of those situations...

I think we all know what is happening, even if it on a subconscious level! It is change my friend! Big change, and the bigger that change is, the harder it gets before it happens, kinda like giving birth, hard, very painful and chaotic, but at the end, a new entity is born, comes to light after...

I don't wanna sound like one of those conspiracy theorists nut jobs BUT the whole idea of pressuring Egypt through its water security has been around in many declassified and leaked official documents since the 1980s so it ain't a new idea. To answer your question Egypt does possess the know...

I'm sure there must be but I'm afraid I got no info on that what so ever lol

Is that an EAF example?!! Do they have any??

The deal includes other items than the Migs, many more. And no Egypt doesn't produce any ALCMs and only has few AS-5s that are probably retired by now.

Well, I'd say the Mig-29M and Mig-29K are in the same class, why? Cause the Radar and armaments are the same, you are comparing the Mig-29K to the Mig-29M of the late 1980s, not the one from much later, the Mig-29 M\M2 Egypt was supposed to buy is different from the Mig-29M of the late Soviet...

I don't know for sure but upgrades are always offered with almost all aircraft manufacturers, and I don't think those will need any upgrades for a while, they are the latest technology available.

Yes it is a 4++ generation fighter and yes it is a great addition, we needed it for so long.

To my knowledge the air frames are identical, the specs on both Migs are exactly the same (same length, win-span,height, wing-area,..etc) and same power specs (same engine, the RD-33MK) and the same max speed, take-off weight,....etc meaning, that since its the same engine, then the similarities...

Well about the dam, I understand Ethiopia's need for it and the reasons behind it, but the capacity of that dam and the reservoir lake behind it is the issue that Egypt is having with Ethiopia. The thing is that the issue is the idea of the dam itself, if Egypt allows it the way it is, then it...

Well, the Mig-29 M\M2 with the Zhuk-AE radar is the Mig-35, as far as I know the air-frames are identical except for the radar and some avionics components and neither are in serial production, although the Russian AF supposed to be getting their 1st batch of Mig-35s pretty soon (I think they...

Read this, it'll explain I don't think they'll confuse the two, besides the Mig-35 is a Mig-29 M but with the Zhuk-AE (AESA) radar, so I think the Russians wanted to give Egypt the M\M2 but the Egyptians insisted on the 35, hence the delay in finalizing the deal, from what I read there were...

Well, from what I hear, Russia will give Egypt the Zhuk-AE AESA radar, so there is no problem there, and the Radar and avionics is the most important technology any combat jet exporter worries about, cause armament can be given in the future or withheld, no major issues there. Now I think there...
