Egyptian Armed Forces

[Mahmoud_EGY]

The israelis were smart to use a compact sub-machine in CQB engagement with the Syrians who were armed with the much bulkier and longer AK's.

at the egyptian front the story was something else their infantry and airbone was masscared by our infantry

i dont think that the ak will die or become just history this weapon have seen to much you can say that the AK is a witness to what can mankind do to eachother

I agree, AK is a very sturdy weapons, it can outlast most modern Guns i think.

The best thing about AK is that it is much easier to produce and the material is readily available in any part of the world. Here in Pakistan our Frontier Tribesmen produce AK-47's and AK-74's with their bare hands:

Only problem is that certain parts you have to import from reputable manufacturers because the illegally produced parts are sometimes low in quality, like for example the Cold Steel Barrel.

the ak is doing fine and i think it is perfect for us i dont know what is wrong with it ?
i agree our air force need some upgrades
and we have started our tank project for about 5 years and i think by the end of this year it will be out unless there is a problame with funding

Any info about this Tank?, would like to know.

Thanks.

Really? I read Egypt did have its own fighter back in the 60's, it was designed by ex-NAZI German aircraft designer Willy Messerschmit.

What about the Tank Mahmoud mentioned in his post?

I'm guessing Mubarak wasn't bad when it came to military projects.

Pakistani Special Forces use AK-103's, but only in limited numbers. I think we imported them from Russia, not sure if produce them in house.

Pakistan ordinance factory made AKM:

I have used a MADI rifle.. its not a top quality product and the egyptian made ammo is very harmful for the weapon... wouldnt recomend it... alot of it came during the cold war era...

I believe its a new fighter program, there were some sources posted by Amir Pharaoh one or two pages back about cooperation with Russia.

Ho accurate is the POF made gun compared to M4?

I don't think Egyptian Army would use a outdated variant of AK, i'm sure they use the newer version with better ammo.

M-4 is accurate but it lacks the stopping power and the range... AK has good accuracy,more stoppin power and more range... as a weapon il put an AK over M-4 any day... As for Type 56(chinese version) vs POFs AK... well the chinese t-56 is a fine weapon but after firing a couple of bursts... its range deteriorates.... and its has a heavy recoil while its not the case with POF manufactured weapon...its light,better range and less recoil.. and a damn sturdy weapon..

Nice, one questions; How did these civilians manage to get their hands on this MADI? Does the Egyptian army sell MADI's to civilians?
