WOW... I didn't know that the deal was already signed, and that it was for 4 Mekos, not just 2, and that one of them will be built in Egypt.
Too bad KSA has problems with Germany, and won't pay for the deal, as KSA was supposed to pay a big portion of the deal price, according to the article.

@mahmoudGamal, twitter's accounts
A Source informed me that the Reports released by the French Press Today claiming that the Negotiations on Meko A200 For the Egypt had stopped were incorrect reports.
The source also confirmed that there is a Mega deal for Egypt’s navy will be signed w/ the German side soon https://t.co/cYBtyKUwot

Hey guys, anyone ever herd of this thing called "Scarab model 324" stealth drone, made in the US in the 80s exclusively for Egypt?
Northrop Grumman's (Teledyne Ryan) Model 324 Scarab was custom-designed in response to Egyptian Air Force requirements. The Model 324 is a versatile, easy to operate reconnaissance UAV that has a cruise range of 1,400 miles and with a speed of Mach 0.8. The wings are low-mounted, swept-back, and tapered. The turbojet engine is hidden in the aft belly compartment until launch. The fuselage is flat-bottomed with a pointed nose and hump on aft top of craft. Two swept-back and tapered fins are mounted on unequally tapered flats.
It has made its first flight in 1988. The Egyptian Air Force has acquired 56 copies, which are still in use today. It is used for low-level photographic reconnaissance. It can carry 100 kg of payload over 2250 km. Its navigation is done through an inertial system and a GPS. It is equipped with a KS-153A 24 "FL camera or a Loral D-500 infrared system, which allows it to operate day and night.
It must be said that the sale of this aircraft to Egypt has been heavily criticized, because of its technology and the possibility of deriving a cruise missile (what Teledyne Ryan has done with the Scarab-LACM ). In 1999, Teledyne Ryan was absorbed by Northrop Grumman.

Rheinmetall proposing Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3 to the Egyptian Armed Forces
The remotely controlled air defence gun is considered a flexible solution against multifaceted targets. integrated into the 35mm platform are a tracking/sensor unit with X-band tracking radar and electro-optical sensors as well as electronic warfare components. This enables swift, autonomous engagement of externally assigned targets.
Two soldiers are required for the preparation of the Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3. Being remotely controlled increases the safety of personnel.
The Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3 can receive and process target data from 2D and 3D search radars. Integrated sensors and a fire control computer give the system an autonomous surveillance and target engagement capability. It can be controlled from a higher-echelon command post or via an operator station to which up to eight guns can be connected.
The tried-and-tested 35mm x 228 automatic cannon delivers compelling firepower and high precision. Coupled with Rheinmetall’s proprietary AHEAD airburst technology, the Oerlikon Revolver Gun Mk3 is extremely effective against practically all air and ground targets.
At Eurosatory 2016 Rheinmetall is presenting its new air defence gun as a possible effector for the Oerlikon Skynex – the Group’s new design for a fully networked, future ground-based air defence system.
Lacroix ready to provide Egyptian Armed Forces with full range of countermeasures
The GALIX AOS (Automatic Obscuration System) coupled with Laser Warning Detectors enable automatic deployment of GALIX munitions -guaranteed non-toxic - to instantaneously mask vehicles against all visible and IR wave lengths of guided missiles.
This solution has been recently presented at the Forum Innovation Défense in Paris, and is also being offered to the Egyptian Armed Forces as it is perfectly suited to their vehicle retrofitting requirements and new equipment programs: combat tanks, armored vehicles, APC, LUV, etc.
In the heart of the French Pavilion, stand 1771, Lacroix will be demonstrating its vision of soft kill vehicle self-protection through an immersive 3D demonstration.
The protection system comprises a laser warning detector array and sensors coupled with an automatic perimeter masking system. Connected to the vehicle’s vetronics, the system deploys automatically once a threat is detected in accordance with pre-set parameters, kinetic and environmental conditions and further recommends evasive maneuvers to be carried out.
In its basic version, protection is achieved through instantaneous deployment of a large smoke screen, masking the vehicle from the visible to the far infrared of the spectrum. This system was initially developed and qualified within the framework of an export contract on an advanced generation vehicle in compliance with the STANAG specifications in effect. It is currently employed by an international army. The experience acquired during its deployment on various international land vehicles and its recognizedexpertise in countermeasures solutions (confusion, distraction, seduction) and in threat analysis in the air and sea domains, enables it to provide innovative protection solutions for the present and the future: innovative soft-kill protection.
Lacroix is a committed partner to the Egyptian Armed Forces, equipping its Rafale, Mirage and F16 fighter jets. These platforms are protected by Lacroix’s most advanced technology in the field of spectral infrared countermeasures. Lacroix will also ensure protection of the Egyptian Navy’s latest vessels - the FREMM frigates and the GOWIND corvettes of the French Naval Group. These vessels are also equipped with the Sylena MK2 decoy launchers, providing full anti-torpedo and anti-missile protection against the most advanced threats.
Egypt : joint marine military trainings with France happening

NEWSROOM (ADV) – Egyptian and French naval forces carried out joint military drills across the Mediterranean Sea on Sunday, the Egyptian military spokesman said in a statement.
“The training included implementation of several activities of sailing formations day and night, which showed the power of the participating maritime units in taking its positions fast and accurately,” the spokesperson of the armed force, Tamer el-Refaie, said.
The naval exercises also included the implementation of a realistic scenario of meeting the challenges facing maritime security, combating terrorism and protecting vital maritime targets such as gas and oil platforms against typical threats, it added.
“In light of boosting the special ties, enhancing cooperation and exchange of experiences between the Egyptian armed forces and its partners from friendly countries, elements from the Egyptian and French navies have conducted naval exercise, with French Courbet and several Egyptian pieces,” the statement added.
Egypt regularly holds military exercises with Arab, African and Western states to boost military collaboration and exchange military expertise.
In early November, Egyptian and French naval forces carried out joint military drills across the Mediterranean Sea. Egypt also started the “Arab Sheild 1” joint drills with forces from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan at Egypt’s Mohamed Naguib military base in the Mediterranean province of Matrouh, the largest base in the Middle East and Africa.
Egypt, Greece, Cyprus to conduct maritime, air military drills
CAIRO, Nov 24 (MENA) – Units of Egypt’s marine and air forces and elements of its special forces arrived Saturday in Greece to take part in joint military drills, dubbed Medusa 7, set to be carried out by Egypt, Greece and Cyprus.
The several-day military exercise will be conducted west Crete Island.
The drills include implementing several activities, such as marine and air combat operations, maritime interception skills in addition to searching for and detecting submarines.
Cadets from the Egyptian Naval Academy are set to participate in the military exercise, which will be witnessed by several youths representing Egypt’s Presidential Leadership Program for the first time.
The drills come within the framework of the Egyptian Armed Forces’ joint training plan with friendly countries with the aim of fostering military cooperation and exchanging training expertise in various fields.

The production of an Egyptian armored vehicle started three years ago with Egyptian minds completely; the design of armored vehicles and their full implementation inside the war production factories of the Ministry of Military Production, pointing out that there are different versions of the armored vehicles, including light and heavy fighting vehicles; and riot breakout and rapid intervention and special forces vehicles participating in the fight against terrorism.
