Egyptian Armed Forces

[Gomig-21]

It is Egyptian T-62.

So, I found this pic in my collection from a while back. This was taken during the last or 2nd to last 6th October parade. T-62s parading in front of President Sadat and Mubarak and all the war delegates etc. and at that time, they were modifying them with Swingfire ATGMs on the sides of the turret. Because they had such great success with the wire-guided SAGGER Malyokta, they figured this mod would help even more by adding something similar to the SAGGER right on the tank itself. Interesting concept.

BTW: All these pics you can double click them and put them on full screen for much better detail.

@ARCH٤R , what's wrong with this picture? Since when is a member of Sa'aka using a desert-colored Tavor?!?!

Member of the very rarely seen JTAC team.

@Ghostkiller , do those on the right center pylon look like the Vikhr missiles?

Temsah family.

Looks like the F-16 without the thing is a special squadron. Inshalla 3obal el AMRAAMs

That's what we've been saying in the last few posts since you asked the question, lol.
Notice who's leading the formation in these pics of all the new types of aircraft in the EAF?
That right there tells you who's most likely the top of the group.

One thing the detractors can't say about the EAF or the ENS or even any armored or infantry units is they don't get enough training. That seems to have changed also with the modernization aspect as the pics are proof positive of that taking place. And the cost of flight pre hour on these new jets is not cheap at all!

Great shot of banking Chiinook.

Man these Su-35SEs are so beautiful! If they can get the AESA radar in them instead of the IRBIS-E and update all the avionics, then I think this would be a better option for the EAF to consider.

that is indeed the vikhir missile. And the the tavor pic was part of the crypoit excercise where they switched weapons with crypoit operatives for some reason

During military exercices between two countries, they share their armaments. This photo was taken during a military exercice between Cyprus and Egypt, the Cypriot Army use the TAR-21 so we exchange the weapons.

Such is applied to tanks and infantry is no exception to this “rule”. AK designs, with their stock fusion to the rest of the rifles body, are obviously horrible when it comes to recoil, hence are terribly inaccurate when it comes to automatic firing. Perhaps you’d like to declare automatic firing as something useless for infantry too?

You're absolutely right with regards to the recoil. I have a couple AKs and even my favorite one which is the Chinese-built MAC-90 with the wood stock and bored out thumb grip behind the pistol grip, but even that thing pushes you back considerably when you rapid fire longer consecutive rounds, and we're talking in semi-automatic mode not even fully auto.

Once you fire a consecutive burst of more than 3 rounds at a time, the rifle rides up on you because of that recoil and because your hands are gripping the gun from below it, so the natural tendency is to push it up while trying to control that recoil, and that's where you get that lift and subsequently the inaccuracy you mentioned. You might get the first 2 or 3 rounds close to the intended target, but once it starts riding up after those initial rounds, you're wasting ammo. The main cause of all that is that the AKs are basically "recoil" rifles. They're designed so that the inertia of the cartridge blast moves the bolt back and forth to load the next round. That makes for a rather violent process hence that sequence creates a heavier recoil.

In gas operated rifles, the gas is fed from the blast in front of the cartridge in the barrel and into the piston (which is attached to the rod) which is then pushed to the back by that gas. That actually speeds up the action and lessens the recoil at the same time. Rate of fire on an AK is also less than several of the newer guns like the M4 Carbine..

@joker87 do you think it was Egypt that cancelled a CZ Bren 2 order?

It seems like the paratroopers have selected the long-barreled CZ Bren while the Navy special ops are using the short-barreled CZ Bren as you can see in the last set of pics I posted of them raiding a ship.

And the the tavor pic was part of the crypoit excercise where they switched weapons with crypoit operatives for some reason

That's right. Another piece of crap bullpup design. Fired it once and don't like it at all. Way too bulky. Haven't fired the ARX-160, but that too seems like a bear.

Jordan is developing a fire and forget ATGM soon equal to the Javelin missile. Could be an option for Egypt. It will be able to take out any Israeli tank or any tank in general actually that doesn’t have APS protection against top attack missiles.

From the official TASS Russian website

“Among the scientific and technical tasks being solved today by the company's specialists is the development of an autonomous anti-tank missile guidance system (the "fire and forget" principle), which will be no worse than that of the famous American Javelin ATGM.”

Any idea when they will test the trial or any infos.
Like someone said here, Arab countries mainly the countries who have a really good military industry (KSA UAE Egypt Jordan) must joint venture in a lot of weapons. For example, Jordan can provide and develop to Arab countries ATGMs and UAE micro munition (Desert Sting) and other bombs Egypt maybe ballistic missiles etc...

But it is a very good news for the Jordanian industry. I think UAE can cooperate with you with funds and expertise (EDGE etc...)

Egypt is indeed a prospect, the Navy Special Operations Brigade was spotted using the RPG 32 "Nashab"

Egypt have a big experience to ballistic missiles since 50ies with Al Zafir and Al Kahir BM. Plus Egypt is rn developing more her BM projects

yeah, Raed as well, very interesting how they managed to covince saenger to work for them

Egypt's MTC is now working on a high-power LV called Kemet-3

Raed? Saenger?
I heard about Kemet-3 but i forgot what was it

Raed was a merger of the Kaher and Zafer, apocryphal reports state that it has been tested thrice, it was destined to carry the fizzled Negma satellite.

Kemet-3 is a pretty cryptic satellite launch vehicle project being developed on the behest of the Military Technical College (MTC).

Eugen Saenger was a German Austrian scientist, a fortuitous find. He along other scientists like Mokhtar Halouda, assisted in designing the Qaher and Zafer BMs, he co-founded the Amerikabomber concept, a bomber that would skip into the atmosphere and deliver a bomb load over American target, his studies contributed a lot to projects like the Space Shuttle and the X-15 manned spaceplane.
