Honestly I will trust him than anybody else.
Definitely some great opportunities in this possible venture with Brazil. They did already sign an agreement for military cooperation, just I don't think we're privy to the details of that deal. But if it does involve the particular items this fella discussed in this video, I'm with him 100% on every single one except the Super Tucano. We've already built just about 150 Tucano trainers back in the 80s of which 54 were for Egypt and the other 100 or so were specifically built and delivered to Iraq. But good luck finding any pictures of these in the EAF. Almost impossible.
So I really don't see any benefit in taking on the Super Tucano for what it brings in terms of ToT or in application since the EAF already has the Tractor and other very similar options. There just doesn't seem to be any beneficial application to that aircraft ToT. They need to get find a fighter to achieve this task with. Get the experience of that is much more beneficial that a lightweight prop trainer/attack aircraft.
The rest of the options he mentioned are absolutely perfect, especially the Embraer EMB-145/RS AEW&C. He mentions the radar on that is a pulse doppler but that is incorrect. It's actually the SAAB Erieye AESA radar which does present a problem in that it's obviously a Swedish Zionist built radar and they don't like selling us anything for obvious reasons. They claim it's because we aren't a democracy loool, but we all know why that Swede ZIONIST government doesn't wish to have us as a military customer whatsoever. So maybe Egypt and Brazil can get creative and built their own AESA radar to mount on that terrific aircraft and supplement the current fleet of 8 E-2C Hawkeyes soon to be upgraded to Ds. That would be a very well spent endeavor to get into.
The other one is the Brazilian MTC-300 Matador cruise missile is a no-brainer. He does claim its range to be somewhere between 500 to 1000 kilometers but we all know that will never fly because of ITAR regulation which stipulate any sale of any weapon cannot exceed 300 km. So that is pretty much the listed range for that missile. Now unless one can build their own indigenous CM, they can make its range anything they please. Just you can't sell them to other countries over 300km. So this is a great endeavor that could very well lead to an indigenous CM although I don't know what has taken Egypt this long to get into this field and produce its own with a 1000 km range and a deadly warhead? This should've been on the agenda a long time ago right alongside all the UAV/UCAVs they've been building.
The Embraer KC-390 cargo/transport/AWACs/ISR AND tanker lol aircraft is also a no-brainer. The versatility of that aircraft is crazy which is why I described it the way I did. But building those jet engines for that aircraft would be a great opportunity. And ever since they haven't been able to purchase the A400M from Airbus for whatever reason...............
..............it might be an omen in disguise since it really doesn't offer that much more than what the current fleet of EAF's C-130s, plus C-295 AND An-74s. So pulling a jet engine cargo of that capability and flexibility would be a very smart and workable option.
those jet engines and that entire cargo air frame would be priceless as far as experience is concerned.
And of course the ASTROS MLRS goes without saying!
The only thing the EGY military will have to be apprehensive about while working with the Brazilians is their affinity for the Jewish state. They do have several military pacts with it and security will have to be a huge priority, Other than that, the only one I don't like out of his list is the Super Tucano which I see no benefit from at all. What do you guys think?
?
model just kidding. I have no idea and I assume it's probably used by whomever formed the sagger battalions in the October War who performed incredibly well and destroyed hundreds of enemy tanks. And those were wire guided ATGMs of the first kind ever used in warfare. Anti-tank infantry units as well as Sa'aka and even paras and navy SOF. I don't think it would or should be limited to any single particular group.
