No news about it being cancelled.. so it is still on.. It is the best Egyptian choice to replace the old Russian inventory of almost 1500 MBTs..
I am worrying that T-90 will be a flop as we can see all T-Series (modern T-72, T-80, T90) are being exploded massively against Javelin and NLAWS. People are starting to question the capabilities of the Russian Army and specially their armored divisions who are being massacred.
Honestly it will be useless. We don't have other air/navy bases outside of Egypt. Plus till today we didn't finish all things that we want to do in our both Mistrals (Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar El Sadat) and it will be so EXPENSIVE. With this money we can modernise our infantry to have better equiments, trainings etc...
Don't be biased..

I don't think you can compare these 2 scenarios as Abrams performed fairly well against AT weapons, in fact very well. Few were completly destroyed, some were damaged but their performance was actually good. T-tanks in Ukraine on the other hand, not so much... a lot of them are catastrophic kills with crew barbecued inside. In this very moment I could say for certain that Russia probably lost more tankers than US did in Iraq.
I am not biased look how many destroyed T-Series filmed by the Ukrainians. Some were barbecued some were "destroyed". The perfomance of the American tanks were MUCH better than the T-Series in this conflict. Ofc i would proud if we have one of the best tanks in the world with local productions etc...
Iraqis had only RPGs!
New Recruit
Yeah, they had one of the best AT weapons back then, RPG-29… and then IEDs, Konkurs etc. Ukrainians also use RPGs a lot, I’m kinda surprised how Stugna-P performs, even against tanks with ERA.
But not more than two.. they cost $4 billion each!
