On the other side, there was the tracked armored infantry fighting vehicle "Sinai 200", which came to light from the 200 war factory (the production and repair of armored vehicles) according to the directions of the President of the Republic to design and produce a tracked armored vehicle smaller than the famous Russian amphibious combat infantry vehicle "BMP". . In fact, it is very similar to it, in particular, it resembles the amphibious armored vehicle BMD-4 working for the Russian Air Force VDV and is capable of heavy parachute drop from transport aircraft.
The armor weighs 13.8 tons and the engine thrust is 400 tons (29 hp / ton) and its top speed is 65 km / h, and the number of its crew is 8 divided into a driver + Hikdar + 6 combatants.
The armored protection level against mines reaches the STANAG 4569 Level 4B that is able to withstand a mine explosion below the track or under the armored belly, as well as carrying fragments of 155mm artillery shells that exploded 30 meters from the armored vehicle, and bears armor piercing rounds up to 7.62 * 54 mm, and was taken into account, of course. That there be a balance between armor and the weight of the armored vehicle in favor of the speed and maneuvering factors.
There are two advantages to armored combat and survival equipment:
1- Providing it with a heavy 12.7 mm RCWS Remote-Controlled Weapon Station, to avoid the need for a dedicated individual to operate it and to ensure the greatest safety for the individuals inside.
2- Equipped with a Cage / Slat Armor similar to the Q-Net Armor network shield, which is designed to face the dangers of anti-RPG projectiles, and this shield is characterized by its cost of 50% - 60% less than the cage armor as well as its lighter weight which does not represent an additional burden on the engine and consequently It saves fuel consumption, not to mention the ease of disassembling and installing it on various types of armored vehicles as needed, and it is also possible to add an upper layer of it to protect the armored vehicle from above.
The armored vehicle is still in the testing and testing phase and will undergo many other modifications and developments. It still has time to enter the official service of the armed forces, and it is expected that it will appear at the EDEX-2020 exhibition, possibly in its final version, to learn more about its details and capabilities.
However, in any case, armored vehicles with this design and the available capabilities can work with Egyptian parachute units as well as amphibious landing forces from the two Mistral carriers, and could be the start of a new generation of Amphibious Infantry Fighting Vehicle that will evolve over time to contain Advanced combat, protection and survival technologies, such as 20 or 25 mm artillery and passive and active Protection Passive Protection System anti-armor interceptors.
