Part of the K-9A1-2 Thunder howitzers will be allocated to work in the Egyptian naval forces within the coastal defense..

Artillery is the last line of defense for the coast, along with anti-ship missile systems.. Especially since the K-9A1-2 use guided missiles, which makes them more effective in hitting their targets..

The cannons' mission within the coastal defense is to bombard the enemy forces and prevent them from carrying out amphibious landings on the shores of the country..

* The K11 Fire Direction Control Vehicle is a new vehicle to be developed for the Egyptian military. Using the K9 chassis, the command-post vehicle will be equipped with a range of high-tech sensors and communication equipments in accordance with operational requirements of the Egyptian Army and Navy.

* In particular, the latest K9 deal has marked the first export of a naval K9 variant, proving the tracked artillery's versatile operational capability. The Egyptian Navy had long sought to acquire the K9 as an anti-access/area denial weapon system, and the K9 successfully proved its access denial capability by hitting targets precisely at sea during tests and evaluations in 2017.

The System will be employed for the defense of naval bases, friendly land forces and shore-based installations from attacks of enemy ships and to repel enemy amphibious forces, to protect offshore sea lines, as well as to guard anchorages and straits.. It will most likely be wheeled..

Due to the Egyptian deal with ToT with the Spanish company Escribano for GUARDIAN 2.0 RWS. anew variant will most likely be the preferred anti-drone platform ..

ESCRIBANO M&E has shown its capacities against drone threats employing its GUARDIAN 2.O RWS integrating a MK-19 40 mm automatic grenade launcher using 40×53 HEDP-RF grenades (by Nammo Plasencia) with airburst capacity and a Dillon M134D minigun. The test was performed at Médano del Loro test field in an exercise leading by Spanish Antiaircraft Artillery Command.

This defense solution, in collaboration with Nammo Palencia, is positioned as one of the most advanced, versatile, and economical alternatives, based on cutting-edge technology that allows the use of equipment and ammunition already in use in NATO Army, obtaining very promising results and highlights its effectiveness compared to the rest of actual anti-drone solutions.

GUARDIAN 2.0 is a lightweight and compact remote-control station for 12.7mm, which can be adapted for 5.56mm, 7.62mm cannons and it is suitable for 40 mm automatic grenade launchers. The 2-axis gyro-stabilized system operates day and night in surveillance, target identification and tracking missions and is specially designed to be integrated into a vast range of platforms and vehicles. All these features make this system a great anti-drone solution.

They're not stopping with just irist systems are they, probably to supplament them with s 300s. If you ask me, they should do this as well as upgrade their buk m2s to buk m3s
 
there is any news about it?
No news is good news..

Let's wait for the opening of the new capital.. if it does not appear there .. then it will be difficult to accept it is in Egypt already.. but who knows.. Egypt has asked for a special version with a lot of very sophisticated components that might be ready or not yet..
