It's a crying shame, SC, bro. Granted the Jews ruined everything and set us back decades, but we still had the ability to pick up the pieces and get going again a long time ago. Once Sadat was assassinated, that was the time to get all these military projects started and take the lead in many fields. Instead we stagnated thanks to that visionless Mubarak.
With a population at the time of approximately 40 million, the options in human resources were practically unlimited, yet we somehow managed to bungle even that great opportunity. Even now have more potential than back then with a 105+ million population to tap into and we're just figuring this out with that recent announcement of investing in the civilian sector to propose military projects. Long time coming.
It's never too late as with the present level of technology and science -- especially in the computer field and artificial intelligence -- things could actually be much easier and quicker to bring about. The only impeding factors are the usual, financing and political indifferences. But if anyone has the wherewithal to bring about such an endeavor, it's this man right here.

He needs to get it started quickly, though, before his time is up. Logistics and factories and specific facilities can all be built as the process progresses. With computer cad programs and all the super smart young people in Egypt these days, coming up with a computerized design that takes into account aerodynamics, minimal radar cross section, makeup schedules for titanium which Egypt is rich in natural resources to produce from locally mined natural ore. Then if they wanted to really lighten the aircraft and make it out of the best available material out there just like the Eurofighter Typhoon is made of, they could easily make the same super plastic forming diffusion bonding that the EFT has in 80% of its structure and panels. It can even go further and really get into the intricate and advanced forms of carbon fiber and other composites to keep up the strength, reduce the effects of corrosion and really reduce the RCS with stealth shaping like in that image I posted.
The only difficult part in all of this would be the engines. Engines as everyone knows are the most difficult items to produce on a local basis and really require decades of trial and error etc. Even if they had permission and help to reverse-engineer let's say a FADEC RD-33MK, it's still an absolute nightmare just to land the perfect composition of metallurgy to make up the metals that absorb and withstand the intense heat of military power and combustion with afterburners. But they could always purchase those engines from Sukhoi and Russia, easily use them to get prototypes going while they keep working on producing their own. The radar shouldn't be a problem as they have tons of experience with smaller and compact ground units and the electrical is also something Egypt has millions of capable engineers to design and fabricate.
If they built the HA-300 60+ years ago, they can build this today without a doubt.

Hahaha, I know they mean well.
