Egyptian Armed Forces

Egypt is powerless and has no capability to militarily oppose Ethiopia from damming the Nile..


Of course it foes have the capabilities to oppose Ethiopia, how many Aircraft does Ethiopia have again? 20 at most? How is 20 Russian Migs going to take down 200 f-16s? I will wait...

They can't, Ethiopia does not have the capability to do anything so they are rather depending on the Countries that are helping build the dam which won't come to your rescue.

Dude just stop, you are just ruining your credibility even more then before. Stop acting dumb and come into reality.

she is of no help to the Sauds in Yemen

Egypt did help Sauds in Yemen, I don't know what is your problem with doing some basic research.
 
Lost all of them? Which specific battle are you talking about?
4 against Israel and one against Yemen

credibility even more then before. Stop acting dumb and come into reality.
You're the only dumb one here...like I told you before and told some of your friends that sing of the capability of Egypt are just nitwit like yourself.. having a lot of pans ,forks knife and spoons don't make you a great chef! Egypt lost all her war against Israel, she lost the one against the Yemenis during Nasser where half of her troop sent didn't make it back..And Yemen today, the Houthis are still controlling the battlefield and the expectation of the Sauds are dimmed by the performance of Egypt..The only thing that you managed to destroy with success is a bananatruck, the water bottling factory, the herd of goats, kids playground... Ethiopia is not Yemen, and their old Su27 have better reach than any of your aircraft, old or new...Beside, tell us big man, does Egypt has the balls to attack the dam built by Israelis?
 
The Ethiopian Dam question has been fixed, Egypt will keep its Nile water "Quota" while Ethiopia will get its Dam to help its economy, it was solved through Engineering not politics, which failed to find a solution..

4 against Israel and one against Yemen

You should open a new thread for this topic if you'd like, please. I would be happy to discuss all the wars Egypt has had in great detail and particularly the October War of 1973. In the meantime, I'll just clarify a few things so that people reading this information for the first time get a clearer picture and not the wrong idea. Egypt has certainly suffered military defeats in most of these wars and I'll only say this as I don't wish to derail this awesome thread - suffice it to say that you can't paint all those wars with a broad brush stroke because of circumstances that existed at the time and the end results, the former reflected in 1956 and the latter in the 1973 October War or as it's more commonly portrayed by Israel and western literature as the Yom Kippur War. The crossing of the Suez Canal, the penetration through the supposed venerable Bar Lev Line and the holding of the Sinai territory by Egypt led to the withdrawal of Israel from half of it's gained territory of only 6 years after it occupied it in 1967. It also led to the reopening of the Suez Canal and the regaining of its revenues to Egypt. The cost on the battlefield for Israel was equivalent to the US losing 250,000 troops in Vietnam instead of 55,000. The impact was greater on Israel as the war's result forced it to lose it's grip on Sinai and it's resources. The whole gimmick of the 3rd Army being surrounded was ultimately a face saving feat for Israel to give it a stronger hand in negotiating at the cease fire, but it didn't help as the negotiations lingered well into January of the following year and by then, Sadat had amassed massive troops and was ready for anther offensive to destroy the narrow Israeli supply line to the south. Israel certainly didn't have the stomach for that and had no choice but to agree on a withdrawal. The 2nd Army to the north was strong and held its ground and constantly repelled the failed Israeli raids by Sharon prior to the cease fire. There is no doubt, that politically the victory was 100% in Egypt's favor as it brought in both superpowers to deal with Israel's expansionist endeavors and forced its eventual withdrawal across half of Sinai. A resounding political victory would've never been accomplished had there not been a semblance of a military one. If anything, most would concede it as a stalemate on the battlefield because of equal territorial exchanges and on-par superpower backing but you cannot disregard the end result which clearly favored Egypt.

So please consider these facts. A lot of these wars are not clear-cut battlefield victories or defeats but involve numerous factors. Had Israel won that war on the battlefield, do you think it would've given up an inch of Sinai? It would've held on to it like the Golan Heights and Jerusalem/West Bank. Not only did it give up the gained Egyptian and Israeli territory, it gave up the half of Sinai which technically, it still held after the war.

In 1956, Egypt was fighting Great Britain, France and Israel (not just Israel as you portrayed it) to rightfully take full control of the Suez Canal and nationalize it. It was a clear military defeat but who would've beaten that trio while being in the same position as Egypt was at the time? Israel also was forced to withdraw after that aggression and both GB and France were internationally humiliated and Nasser gained full control of the Suez Canal for Egypt. Not sure many other countries in a similar position as Egypt would've fared much better under those circumstances.

In March 2015, Obama ordered to resume military exports to Egypt to help fight rising terrorism in the region, including Daesh (outlawed in Russia), and encourage reforms in the country. In July, the United States sent eight F-16 fighter planes to Egypt. In addition, the White House earlier agreed to grant Egypt annual financial assistance amounting to $1.3 billion.

In April 2016, the US administration decided to resume full arms deliveries and to continue financial military support.

Israel didn't want the Sinai, cus the impact of the peace treaty was of bigger importance to the.
Israelies still held Sinai after the war, and gave it up as part as a peace treaty.
The main impact of the war was to convience the egyptians they won the war, atleast in the egyptian society, so they'll be prepared to ally with Israel.
