Egyptian Armed Forces

[Azeri440]

Navy sf seems to be the most badass sf unite in the egyptian army they are looked after more than the other units. Was it recently formed or is it because of the nature of their operations

its a common thing around the world , their role and training put them ahead of others.

We have around 80 F-16s, so if half of them have 1000+ flying hours that's pretty good. Not to mention not every pilot comes to that site to upload his hours :p

EAF has 55 such pilots! Good job!
IDAF has 9
TuAF has 138 such pilots. Dayummmmm.

Seems it also includes Retired pilots, so the exact number is still unknown.

Let's return to the meat and bones of this thread...

It's always good to put a little description of what exactly is going on for people who don't understand Arabic or still new to amateur military enthusiasm. It also helps with Google searches.

For instance describing that video:-

Colonel General Sedki Sobhi oversees tactical combined arms EX Taba-15 carried out by units under the Special Forces and Paratrooper Command in cooperation with the Egyptian Air Force and Military Intelligence Command (Recon).

The forces participating demonstrated their skills in various combat scenarios using both live and blank fire in the process. They demonstrated their abilities in conducting dynamic reconnaissance missions, raids, and insertions with varied enemy types showcasing their skills operating in asymmetric or conventional environments.

The Egyptian Air Force supported the units taking part by providing cargo aircraft of various types to conduct Paratrooper insertions (types used were static line, free-fall, and HAHO/HALO) and to provide logistical support in the form of supply drops. Transport helicopters were also provided and were used to insert Paratroopers, Commandos, and Special Forces in a variety of methods including free fall jumps. AH-64D Apache helicopters also took part in the exercise.

Continued:-

A Special Forces Commando (Sa'qa) parades equipment associated with the 21st Century soldier program. Attached to the Sig 552 Commando rifle is an optic sight which is connected to the soldiers eye piece, allowing him to look over or around obstacles without exposing his body and potentially fire while doing so.The NVG/camera attached to his helmet appears to have a connecting lead to something in his daysack suggesting he may have signalling or communication equipment that will allow him to share visual information with command or units within the AO. His helmet should not be going sideways though, specially not during a parade.

Paratroopers parading their kit and equipment. From the left we have two Paras in standard free fall kit but not in fighting battle order. The third operator from the left is in full fighting battle order and is kitted out to conduct HAHO/HALO jumps, these three gentleman are most likely operators from the 27th Paratrooper Battalion (Para SF). The two gentlemen on the end are parading full fighting battle order for regular Paratroopers, one is not kitted out to jump while the other is kitted out to jump from a static line. A series of sights are shown in front, any help IDing them would be great.

They drive me crazy!

Not just because of their inability to shoot things in HD. They are letting the whole AF down, as are any administrations tasked with PR.

They keep on raging about the 4th generation of warfare yet do nothing to combat it. They are losing the narrative battle in the Sinai even when the press pretty much has no access to it. They scarcely release any footage of importance and have no interest in providing day by day updates of the situation.

Unlike many nations across the world they don't even bother making recruitment advertising or programmes. Shows that for instance follow students or recruits through the military academy or special forces training should happen every now and again, both for recruitment and in order to give the average Egyptian something some insight into something they have no idea of.

They also have a breadth of history from which they can create documentaries or even articles or chronicles. Barely anyone in Egypt and outside of it know who group 39 combat are and for good reason, their exploits have never been explained, recreated or advertised. But ask an Egyptian if they know a mediocre western outfit without any real operational experience in comparison to the 39 and chances are more people will know who they are. Moral affairs has left this role to Group 73 which really doesn't know how to advertise or produce content for a global audience and is torn between being a patriotic group of amateur historians and buffs creating amateur films that don't have much reach and being a truly academic outfit (which it should be really) with peer reviewed papers and all sorts.

They're pretty much relying on the average Egyptian's naive sense of national duty towards the military and blind patriotism to recruit, that on its own doesn't attract the best and brightest nor will sentiment for the AF remain the same in the future.

There should be so much more footage coming out from both Op Sinai and Op Restoration Hope. It's a shame.

The Thunderstorm movie doesn't look like it will be released any time soon, Grr errrr arggh!

Rant over!

Thanks by the way, you are also a great asset, one of the very first to bring attention and fight on the side of the Armed Forces on forums across the Internet and dissect their crappy videos for every scrap of info.
