Or have them join Russia’s forces massing on the border with Ukraine...

I don't think this would happen as they are export models.

From where I see it the Su-35s are now left with no owner, and just like how Egypt bought the Mistrals with a discounted price Iran can do the same, and wait a short time before the fighters start arriving in Iran.

Thank you for your insight. This is my and other Iranians' hope as well - nothing against Egypt though.

Is that an IMUT rocket launcher in the background? First time seeing it.

Yes.. it looks like a multi-rocket launcher..

Might also be something like this one on the ST-100 ..

No doubt but they remain Su-35s nonetheless, whoever’s flying them around in Russia is probably Russian IMO. Recently built engines and likely spares can serve the Russian Air Force.
Mind that export versions are more common in weapons than for instance landing gears or IRST... they most probably outmatch Russian Su-27s given they deploy the same “prime” versions of missiles.

Well the launch units appearing in El Yom El Sabe3 appear to be smaller than the ones of precision attack ST-100 version you shared. But after all it depends on the size of the missiles/rockets IMUT has decided to equip them with in the end.

Not only that.. those SU-35 SEs were tailor made to Egyptian specs.. It is doubtful they will be sold to anyone else..
They are not like the simpler Mig-29M-M2s that took 4 years after signing the deal to appear in the media .. the SU-35 SE have thrust vectoring engines that need a long time of individual pilots' training and also their integration into the Egyptian RISC 3 is of extreme importance..

Don't believe that CATSAA got anything to do with this..as the Egyptian Foreign affairs parliament chief said a few year ago that this matter was a national security issue and no one is allowed to meddle in it.. this came as a response to Trump and Pompeo threats of sanctions..

This year, the Egyptian Armed Forces will purchase two AIRBUS A330 MRTT refueling planes, according to Paris-based La Tribune news. It was also confirmed that the Egyptian Armed Forces would purchase spy satellites from France, which would be developed under the management of the Egyptian Space Agency, and that the two countries were continuing their negotiations on technology transfer, joint production and technical support.

It is noteworthy that the Egyptian Space Agency (EGSA) is preparing to launch a satellite called NextSat-1 in this year 2022, and through the cameras on that satellite, it will give the ability to monitor the terrain and check the levels of carbon dioxide and gas in the atmosphere.

Seen this thing last year, any update, any pics that show Egyptian army has actually equipped them?

This is a huge project.. it needs a lot of production lines for all those 10 variants' add-ons.. so it will take time.. Probably another 2 years..

Saudi Arabia..

Yes I try to feed that thread as you can see..

I have seen it. keep going.

Besides these Tabuk are there other entities involved except the two

There is one thing that cannot be accepted in the story of refusing to contract or retracting the contract of the Egyptian SU-35 SE, especially for Egypt (because Indonesia and Algeria did not reach the stage of final contracting and producing planes for them, and even receiving them, as Egypt did)..

Logically and this is what happens in fact, countries that want to contract any equipment do test it in practice and carry out and scrutinize its specifications and capabilities before they contract the system. Even those who buy a new car do so, let alone countries, armies and their experts, technicians and pilots..

The current Egyptian administration is the strongest administration in dealing with the United States on an equal footing. If the current administration had cared about US sanctions, we would not have seen the MiG-29, Ka-52, Antay 2500 and many other systems.

“Wing Long 1D” armed reconnaissance drone of the Egyptian Air Force

The Wing Loong 1D armed reconnaissance drone was designed and produced by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China AVIC.

This drone is the improved and enhanced version of the Wing Loong-1 UAV operating in the Egyptian Air Force with the UAV Brigade, and the middle version between it and the more expensive Wing Loong-2 version (one of the most important reasons for Egypt contracting the plane is its average price and better capabilities than Wing) Loong-1) and similar to Wing Loong-2.

The “Aviation Industry Corporation of China AVIC” developed and upgraded the aircraft to meet the requirements of the Egyptian Air Force, especially with regard to the number of flying hours and armament load.

The UAV is now able to fly with a payload of 400 kg of missiles, ammunition and monitoring and reconnaissance equipment, instead of 200 kg, with 4 suspension points under the wings instead of 2, to enable it to carry up to 8 missiles / bombs instead of 4, and it can carry a reconnaissance pod containing electro-optical sensors/ Thermal.

The aircraft is equipped with China's first developed artificial focus radar, which specializes in microwave imaging, which allows for a large-scale survey of the terrain in all its details and high-resolution electronic mapping to detect various ground targets, and to detect explosive devices and mines.

The new version “Wing Long 1D” is characterized by being completely designed from composite materials, a wingspan of 17.6 meters instead of 14 meters, a height of 3.2 meters instead of 2.7 meters for the previous version, and its ability to fly at a height of up to 7500 meters instead of 6000 meters, while its flight in the air was improved by an increase of 75% to 35 hours instead of 20 hours, also its speed reached 280 km / h.

Egypt contracted with 32 aircraft..
