Egyptian Armed Forces

I think the Israelis and US would put too much pressure on France to allow them to sell nuclear subs to Egypt unfortunately.

This is the Barracuda with conventional propulsion: SMX Ocean

And there is also the SMX 3.0

And the SMX 31e and SMX31

BTW, on a funny note - today, October 5th 1973, Elton John released one of his greatest hits and one of the best songs of all time in the Yellow Brick Road, one day before the October War started on the 6th. And the chorus in that song starts out with "So goodbye, the yellow brick road". It made me think, he should've written "And goodbye, the barlev line" lmfao!

Egypt was the customer for the Palma air defense CIWS system apparently for the Mistrals.

Egypt Navy, Almaz-Antey, and Palma air defense systems

Egypt is said to be going ahead with a project to buy Palma shipborne ...</div>

So are they actually installing that system at the moment? I believe @The SC posted an article claiming that was the case. If it's true, it's about @#$%!^*@!)(*@# time. I'm not familiar with the Palma, will have to look it up and see what it looks like.

They ordered 6?

They ordered 6?

I thought it was 2 first then 4 later

I was surprised by that count since that's quite the number of those, but you could be right.
I did check wiki real quickly and this is what was mentioned:

In May 2021, it was revealed that Egypt may purchase two A330 MRTTs as part of a Rafale fighter deal with France.[124]
Airbus A330 MRTT - Wikipedia

At this point I'm not sure if there even is a deal when they say "may purchase." @The SC , do you remember what was announced by any chance?

Anyone's guess at this point

I guess wiki and Mahmoud Gamal are on the same page. Two is probably the correct initial count.
