What's new

Egyptian Armed Forces

Soft skinned vehicles such as the Wrangler J8 and Toyota Hilux are being extensively used by forces in the Sinai. Armour is useful in the direct fire support role and could also provide indirect fire support if required, they are also useful in that they can
get to enemy positions on rough terrain whereas other vehicles operated may not. Demonstrations of power or presence in a certain area is always useful, you're telling the enemy you're here and you're not messing about.
True...
Sinai is the only are where terrorists may elect domicile, due to its difficult relief, but the good thing about Sinai is practically inhabited...which makes the job easier for security forces. They don't have to worry about civilian casualties. The British famous "Rat Patrols", used lighter and faster vehicles to hassle the superior german force in Tobrouk area...with a great success.

Egypt began setting up a buffer zone along its border with the Gaza Strip Wednesday to prevent militant infiltration and arms smuggling following a wave of deadly attacks.
The move, which will see about 800 homes demolished, comes in the wake of a suicide bombing in the Sinai Peninsula Friday that killed at least 30 soldiers.

A senior official in northern Sinai said the creation of the buffer with the Palestinian territory was "vital for national security and stability."
The authorities want to establish a 500-meter wide buffer along about 10 kilometers of the border with Gaza, according to officials
