Those arent special forces, they're Republican Guard. If you have nothing of value to say then don't speak at all.

The Egyptian special forces are colloquially known as "SA3KA"/"صاعقة" or "Thunderbolt".

The Egyptian special forces make up a large part of Egypt's armed forces, they are in reality Egypt's elite troops. The Egyptian Special Forces Command overseas 8+ special forces regiments (army only) as well as the army's Paratroopers(although all Special Forces personnel are jump trained).

The 135th and 129th Special Forces regiments are in Egypt's first field army (although it isn't technically called that), the 222nd Air Mobile Brigade also comes under Egypt's Special Forces command.

The 117th, 123rd and 153rd Special Forces regiments with the 412th Airborne brigade are in Egypt's second field army.

The 159th, 141st and 147th Special Forces regiments with the 224th Air Mobile brigade are in Egypt's third field army.


Egyptian Special Forces personnel are usually distinctive due to their two colour desert or "sand" camouflage (which is used exclusively by the Egyptian Special Forces). All special forces regiments are motorized and use HUMVEEs or other soft skinned vehicles (usually) armed with AT wire guided missiles. They are usually armed with the AKM, SIG-55/0/1/2, M4A1 or MP5. They also use the FN MAG as their LSW and the RPG-7.

Egyptian Paratroopers (who fall under the special forces command) are usually seen in the Egyptian variation of the American m81 woodland camouflage. All paratrooper regiments are motorized and use small soft skinned vehicles such as the JEEP Wrangler armed with wire guided AT missiles. They are usually armed with the AKM, SIG55/0/1/2/6 or the M16A3. They also use the FN MAG as their LSW and the RPG-7.

The Egyptian Special Forces have several specialized units that are recruited from the Special Forces or Paratrooper regiments.

Firstly, Unit 777. 777 is Egypt's (primary) international counter terrorism and hostage rescue unit.

Secondly, UNIT 999. Very little is known about 999, what is known is that its main mission is to fight behind enemy lines.

The paratroopers also have their own specialized force, known as the 27th special operations battalion. Almost nothing is known about their purpose or structure except that they are kitted out for HALO/HAHO jumps (dude on the far right in HALO gear).

Lastly, the Navy's Special Forces regiment/brigade. Usually armed with the AKM, SIG-552, ARX-160 or the MP5.
