Wow, Egypt sucks at EW warfare? Just that line right there without needing to read the rest of your post is proof of several things. 1, it's clear that you are not knowledgeable about the subject when it comes to the EAF or the Egyptian military in general despite your supposed interest in militaries of the world etc. since a comment like that is not only ignorant of the facts, but reeks of unparalleled bias and even hatred to the point where you can't even be objective about the topic. 2, that inherent bias and hatred that's clouding your judgement seems so severe (based on the words in just that comment) that it would be an exercise in futility to even engage with you and waste any time or energy explaining why it's so off the wall that it wouldn't be worth it. Suffice it to say, the advice you are giving to others you should take yourself, specifically the one about going and learning things.
I couldn't have said it better. This exact topic came out about 6 months ago or so and most of it was about how the Egyptian airforce network engineers developed the CIRS2 data link for all combined Egyptian military assets and specifically between the western and Russian airborne platforms. It was mostly about how Dassault had assisted as well as allowed as part of the Rafale purchase deal to use the RBE2 AESA radar and test it and explore its compatibility with other systems to create a offshoot link that would be indigenous and work for all the Egyptian platforms as well as communicate with all other assets such as the EADS and naval units and armored platforms etc.
It was pretty extensive but it was just using the RBE2 to engineer an indigenous link for the EAF to combine its western and Russian aircraft and be able to instantly communicate and share info. That was it.
Now it seems the MB with their sabotaging news networks conveniently added this silly Su-35 radar being incapacitated by the Rafale's SPECTRA which is actually impossible lol in an attempt to create discourse in the EGY military on the international market and who knows what else, maybe to draw attention to the fact that the EAF bought 30 Su-35SEs and ignored CAATSA and these people want to draw American destroyer USS Donald Cook was effectively left helpless when a Russian plane used the technology while the vessel was in the Black Sea several years ago, the report claimed.it out in the open to remind and force the US to punish Egypt. There are a lot of devious cretins out there with vengeful and just hateful agendas willing to do anything stupid and silly like this just to stick it to the ones they have such spiteful hate for.
No one and nothing. There is no upgrade of anything against any other thing lol. It's all BS whatever this silly addon to the original article is trying to prove. I can tell you, though, that just recently, they Su-35s have in fact been going up against the Rafales in a multitude of exercises over secluded areas on the southern desert in Egypt. Only gossip about these exercises taking place as they're being done in big-time secrecy for some reason and all we're getting is little bits of whatever is leaking out. But nothing about any SPECTRAs taking out any Su radars.
lol that was the first thing I saw when I read that pile of trash!
I saw "BARS" and that was it. Funny thing is that probably flew right over many people's heads, or many people probably didn't know that the BARS radar is that which is in the Su-30MK line of aircraft and the Su-35S has the ever so powerful IRBIS-E in it. But hey, wuttyagonnado?
