lol touche my friend! It cool bro, I just enjoy talking to you, not so many people I know are as knowledgeable. And yes, MBTs are cool, but they are also expensive and heavy! And modern Anti-tank missiles are very effective, it is turning into a cat and mouse game, more armor, counter-measures...

The distance is more than 1200 km, BASHA!!! Get your numbers right! Besides hitting a dam requires a very heavy combat load and that will furthur reduce the range!!! You don't hit a dam with air-to-air missiles!!! I'm well aware of the options Egypt has for tankers and refueling kits that can be...

I think it is definitely the way of the future! So you are in England, I can tell from your English, I might actually be in London in like a month or two, not sure yet, if I do and you are in London or close by I'd like to meet you in person for a coffee or something, if you have the time ofcourse.

Modularity brother, if that is even a word lol. Imagine a common platform (vehicle) that can replace all of those you mentioned above! How much that will save in coast and maintenance! It is possible and that is the future! I'm talking about a broader doctrine here. I have a question for you...

Well, the Zhuk-AE has a max detection range of 130 in air to air more and up to 200 in air to ground mode which is plenty believe me, longer ranges are useful with bigger rcs (radar cross-section) targets like huge bombers and such, no threat from these to Egypt though. It is also a very capable...

I agree with you, I strongly believe that was the most probable scenario, good for the EAF that they held their ground and got it! It is a tremendous asset. I think Egypt might have also wanted to assemble the jets locally, specially with the new assembly line available with no jets to assemble...

Well here is the thing, they are essentially the same Mig-29, but with 2 different radars, the Mig-35 has a better AESA radar, so it is a Mig-29 M\M2 with that radar! The question was will Russia give Egypt the radar or not? If they didn't, it would be called the Mig-29 M\M2, if they did, it'll...

I saw it in a video, it had Egyptian numbers and markings and was flying a small Egyptian flag, quality of image isn't all that great but you can see the markings. Jane's defense indicates that the Egypt does operate the Centauro in a reconnaissance role! Interesting though saying it doesn't...

Or the Italian Centauro, they had it for years and didn't show it until 2012!! Its the old mentality of secrecy! They are getting better though!

The combat radius of the Mig-35 is 1000 km, the distance (one way) from the very south of Egypt to the dam site is over 2000 km, so without multiple refueling in mid-air such mission is impossible, and note that Egypt doesn't have any areal tankers. That combat radius is also without any...

Now that is some good news! The Mig-35 with its Zhuk-AE radar is a potent jet, the radar is top of the line in technology and capabilities, very good to hear, the EAF needed that for years.

I mean its good thinking at the very least, Optionally Piloted Vehicle Aircrafts are a a smart option, but Qatar has no aircraft manufacturing capability what so ever, so its more like a custom designed system for Qatar from what I understand from the article, but to manufacture it in Qatar or...

I dunno, but it would be good if they can, helps them a lot.

I know about their AESA radars, I don't know buddy, I'm just having a hard time buying it!!! I sounds ligit, looks ligit, but I just can't buy it for some reason!!!! Radar development especially AESA radars require very advanced technologies that Iran simply doesn't have! I dunno! But it sounds...

Syria did sign an order for 8 Mig-31Es with Russia but delivery was suspended in 2009 probably due to Israeli pressure. And Russia does offer the Mig-31 for export and it the late 2000s they marketed the Mig-31E heavily in international airshows, but yes, no confirmed orders or deliveries beside...

I have to say my knowledge when it comes to naval systems is simply my weakest. But turning towards China is the best option for Egypt when it comes to certain systems. I think its safe to assume, with a good level of certainty that such systems will fail, sometimes it is simply better to...

Well, I believe that the Israeli claims on their newest system, David's sling is a bit unrealistic. It is essential a heavy modification of the American Patriot PAC-3 system, who's success rate in interception was no more than 20% on a good day, to be realistic, how much improvement did they...

The RPG-30 is cheaper than the Kornet system and way easier to use though.Anyways with those systems a dual, simultaneous shot of either will fool the trophy, remember, nothing in the world is 100%, nothing, any protection system can be beaten, and relatively easily given that you know enough...

I got one thing to say about that, RPG-30! Couple of those fired will defeat the trophy or any similar system! It is essentially the same as the RPG-27 but with an extra inert decoy precursor round on a tube on the side of the main launch tube put there specifically to defeat the trophy and...

The thing ab The Thing about Israel is that they get A LOT of help from the United States, not just in the form of off-the-shelf weapons, like its the case with Egypt, but in addition they finance a huge chunk of the Israeli military weapons development. This allows the Israelis to develop and...
