Featured Egypt has threatened to push Turkey out of Libya. But is that even possible?

[Elgamd]

You clearly lack a fundamental understanding on the topic buddy. You are aware of the abysmal state of the Egyptian military right? You do realise that their air force, although large, is useless against a competent enemy? You understand that they have a single coastal route into Libyan cities?

Hate to break it to you but Egypt can't do more than bark in this situation. It's easy for someone like you to just look at Globalfirepower and think to yourself that Egypt is next door so they must have a big advantage. However reality isn't a video game. We saw what happened in the 6 day war. This would be no different.

First, the six day war, was a surprise lmao, nobody expect anything. And was against a much much better airforce
Second, Even if the enemy was competent, and had much better equipment, it wouldn't be able to fight for long because of the fuel.
And even if Egypt airforce lacked modern equipment, it still has a much bigger airforce. Which will out trade the Turkish airforce,.
Like what they used to do in yom kippur, (6 MiG 21s vs 2 F4 Phantoms) 4 MiGs will be downed, in return of 2 F4.
Third, Air Defence, Egypt has alot of Close to Medium range Air Defence equipment, (A Lesson learnt for the 6 day war) so even if, Egypt's airforce gets sherded, the ground forces could keep fighting, for a little bit.
Forth, Egypt DOES HAVE a big advantage over Turkey if they find in Libya, because again of supply lines.
Rommel couldn't take Cairo, because of how starved his divisions was.
This will happen to Turkey, their soldiers wouldn't even have bullets to fight, so they pretty much useless.
And i didn't mention anything about global fire, or shit like that, lmao.

Egyptian and Turkey should not fight over Libya . any war break out over Libya between this country will destroy the two strong military of the Muslim world, farther worsen the situation of Libyan people an ultimately only benefit the cancer of region Israel.

I don't see Turkey, fighting Egypt in Libya. Such a war will harm both countries. I think, in the event of the Egyptian Invasion of Libya, Turkish advisors would evacuate Libya, and leave the situation for UN, since such an invasion would be illegal.

The Turkish army, cant fight a war abroad, because of long supply lines, and stuff like that.
If a war happens in Libya, Between Egypt and Turkey, Egypt could just get air superiority, and destroy any cargo planes, same with Cargo Ships, Turkey wouldnt be able to send it's troops/supplies to it's forces in Libya.
Even with a "Gigantic airforce that is able to operate 100 planes in the same time" wouldnt even be able to reach Egypt's coast because of Anti Air, Naval Ships and Fuel, even if the Turkish Navy Escorts the Cargo ships, Egypt can send a submarine fleet, and destroy the cargo ship, and return.
It's aint rocket science. sry to break it to buddy, but Turkey can only fund Milities or send a tiny amount of troops to any Nation abroad. the only that they are able to do, is fight a major war right next to their border, like Syria.
Egypt on the other hand, would have better supply lines, is able to deploy more forces because the supply lines wouldnt be awful.

All the points you mentioned in your post are in favor of Turkey. So, I kind of don't understand your optimistic attitude. However, in a fair world, both countries would be working together in Libya. But it's the idiotic generals in Cairo, who are putting their interests ahead of the interests of the common Egyptian citizen.

Egypt should probably fix its Ethiopian dam problem before it tries to fight Turkey. If it seriously thinks it's gonna resolve this with military power then it's in for a rude awakening.

So that is the task. They are trying to push Egypt to contain Turkey. Are Turkey ready to deal these kind of traps?

 

[Ansu fati]

Turkey has over stretched itself. She is further and does not have land border with Libya. If Egypt up the ante, Turkey will not be able to supply her expeditionary force and ally in Libya. It is a matter of time before Turks loss the war.

If Turkey decides to do military action it would only use airforce and navy
Losing the war is known term for egyptians

Turkey is ready. Egypt won't be able to contain Turkey no matter how much money they receive from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Egypt is no where near to Turkey, They don't have BVR

 

[GlobalMillitary96]

Egypt is no where near to Turkey, They don't have BVR

They have the AIM-7P Sparrow (I think that's what it's called), but it is very outdated and isn't fire and forget.

 

[nangyale]

Egypt doesn't want to fight but it definitely want to get as much money as it can from the idiotic MBZ.
It will makea lot of noise and get loads of attention, but real on the ground fighting it will most definitely avoid.

We should be friends with Arabs to their face and suck them dry like what europeons do and then they will love us more. Most of them especially the gulf are treacherous vermins

You have tried to suck them.. but it didn't work for you..they found out you were a treacherous vermin..

They have the AIM-7P Sparrow (I think that's what it's called), but it is very outdated and isn't fire and forget.

What an ignorant post.. are living in a cave in Australia? HaHa..
You just jumped the fact of 24 Rafale with BVR and 50 Mig-35 with BVR..just to suit your sick soul..not mentioning the SU-35s or the Typhoons coming soon..all with BVR..even the AIM-7P Sparrow is still dangerous for you..

Egypt doesn't want to fight but it definitely want to get as much money as it can from the idiotic MBZ.
It will makea lot of noise and get loads of attention, but real on the ground fighting it will most definitely avoid.

All this BS to call MBZ an idiot.. How low can you get..

Why are you trying to twist the facts..it is too obvious..HaHa

And why does it matter to you, if I call an idiot an idiot?
Getting involved in foreign policy tangles and losing badly is not just iidiotic it's outright dangerous. But MBZ can count himself lucky as he is the ruler of a Sheikhdom with no accountability.

Egypt, despite having 20 million more people than Turkey has an economy less than one third the size of Turkey's. This alone is a major weakness for Egypt, however, it gets much worse. Egypt's entire arsenal of vehicles and weapons is a mess. A combination of American, French, Russian, Chinese and other equipment. This wouldn't be a problem in the 1950s, however, in today's world interoperability between military equipment is essential. Particularly in the air force. Having a combination of western and eastern vehicles means there will be problems with training, friend or foe identification and data sharing. Essentially meaning that the Egyptian military is unable to work as one whole cohesive force.


This whole mess is a result of an even bigger issue. The Egyptian military is funded by the oil-rich Gulf Arab states. To the Saudi's and the UAE, Egypt is a large and loyal ally which could aid them with their regional designs. While the KSA and UAE are much richer and could just expand their own militaries, Egypt's large Arab population and access to the Mediterranean mean it is a very attractive alternative. For this reason, they have pumped billions into Egypt for new military procurements. Meaning that the Egyptian military essentially serves as a huge mercenary force for the Gulf States.
...
Egypt's military isn't only a mess on the hardware side. It also has a personnel problem. Don't let its 910,000 strong military fool you. This largely conscripted force isn't comparable to Israeli or Turkish conscripted forces. Most men don't see combat, let alone fire a single bullet for training purposes. Instead, they run errands for their commanders, sweep the floors and cook.
...

All in all the Turkish Armed Forces is miles above Egypt's military. It is a serious force. Highly mobile, experienced and fully confident with acting on its own; Egypt would make a big mistake if it chose to fight Turkey in Libya. If Egypt does indeed enter Libya it'll likely be their biggest mistake since fighting Israel decades prior. However, it appears as if Egypt may be stepping away from their bold statements only days after making them. Indicating that Sisi's threats were empty from the start.

Some interesting quotes from the source in the opening post.

The line in Libya was traced on the sand..now the ball is in Turkeys mouth..walk the talk in you can even talk ..or just take your Syrian terrorists and leave..it is clear..

And why does it matter to you, if I call an idiot an idiot?

[The SC]

Where do you want me to start. Syria, Yemen, Qatar blockade......

Just start anyone if them..Syria never involved in there only to supply the US fro its own bases..in fact the GCC were the first to propose an economical package to Syria before the war there..
Yemen.. where did the UAE or KSA lose? or you believe in those tabloid news..?
Qatar is the only one suffering from the blockade just read about it..it is all over the place..
Anything more?
