Egypt to refurbish forty-three (43) AH-64E Apache with a cost of $2.3 b

We don't have Mi 28 ? we just have 2 Mi 24
plus 89 Gazelle that need to be upgraded + 54 AH64 + 46 Ka = 191 attack helicopter.

we probably need The chinese Z-10 also.


the money comes from the annually american aid which is 1.3 billion dollar.


True.
Plus 32 Ka Katran navy version in the pipeline....223 Attack helicopters

Could Pakistan buy the Gazelles? Would be a solution for the attack helicopter dilemma, at least for the near term.

There is no kataran.

Egypt is already producing the gazelle .. I think we sold 50 of them to south africa from our production.

Any valid sources?
Because last time I've heard about it.. the Katran won against the competition bid by Egypt..And will come with the rest of equipments of the mistral..

"With France unable to incorporate 21,000 ton warships into its own navy, and considering scuttling the vessels for a loss of well over $1 billion, Egypt offered to acquire the two ships an a considerably reduced cost. Cairo soon afterwards moved to contract Russian assistance in arming the two Mistral class ships, and with the Russian Navy having already devised an optimal means of outfitting the carriers the country played a key role in preparing the vessels for active service. With Russia having planned to operate Ka-52 attack helicopters from the carriers’ decks, Egypt went on to sign a deal to acquire almost a sizeable fleet of 78 aircraft - 32 of which were navalised Ka-52K Katran platforms and the remaining 46 which were designed as a specialised land based export variant dubbed ‘Nile Crocodile."

Ka has many problems, that's why we went for more apaches and upgrading the older ones.

We should focus more on upgrading the gazelles and get light attack hel such as Z-10.

Khaleeji money.
They won't donate any more money to Egypt .. the financial crisis is affecting them more than us.

all the american hardware comes from the annual aid 1.3 billion dollar.

Maybe in future we can cooperate with turkish defense industry, maybe.

I think IK would have discussed the Mirage deal with Egypt. It has been stuck for sometime.

US and Israel want to use their man Sisi against the rising Neo-Ottoman Alliance. PEOPLE of Egypt by and large have no problem with Turks, actually quite the contrary. We have a lot of shared interests in the Mediterranean, not to mention our long, mutual history. By arming himself to the teeth at the expense of Egyptians' economic welfare, Sisi may be committing political (or actual?) suicide without knowing it.

It's true we have no problems with the Turks but we should forget about ottman thing, every nation has its interests now, Egypt and Turkey could work closely more than any nation if 2 things happen
1- no more ottoman ideas
2-no more gulf arabs control over Egypt.

the gulf arabs destroyed Egypt literally by interfering with their money (which I hope they will lose it all one day) and Turkey want the revival of ottoman empire which Egypt can't be part of it due to its past here.

Turkey isn't trying to bring back the OLD Ottoman Empire, obviously. That's impossible. But a new commonwealth based on similar principles of moderate Sunni Islam, cultural ties, scientific cooperation, trade/commerce, customs union, political stability, social harmony, justice and of course mutual/collective security. Turks want exactly what Egyptians want. A stable, war-free, peaceful region and prosperous peoples. US and Israel and their Gulf cronies want us Muslims to remain divided and in a constant state of conflict. Our best response to them should be to UNITE around our many similarities rather than divide over few differences.
