Some pics, starting out with a great shot of an EN ASW
Kaman SH-2G Super Seasprite getting chained down on board an unidentified ship. EN has 13 of these terrific submarine hunting helicopters.
@Buschlaid , a rare but solid look at a French Centauro IFV in Egypt during a Franco-Egyptian training exercise. I thought Egypt had bought these at one point in time, but I think it was only interested but a deal never materialized.
I also had a GREAT pic of an Egyptian M-270 firing a rocket with all the smoke and dust and only the front of the chassis and the rocket above are visible! Awesome pic but I can't seem to find it. When I do I'll tag you again.

Egyptian lady on the sublime Alexandria beach waving at EAF Apache and its pilots during the 2013 revolution. Those guys were really going nuts and performing all kinds of low-level flights and maneuvers and messing with people on beaches during that time.
A very rare couple of looks at one of the first F-4E Phantom IIs coming to the EAF in 1982 or thereabouts with the original Vietnam jungle camo of the USAF.

One of the greatest Cretin Crunches and Vermin Exterminations you'll ever see from a superbly trained EAF F-16C making a low altitude, Cretin Elimination free-fall bomb run that scores a perfectly placed direct hit on the infected Vermin bacterial hideout. Love this capture from a Wing Loong flying above!
Check out how effective that standard, US smoky grey camo color is. And in this case, the orange wing swaths don't even show.

Capturing the perfectly placed free-fall dropped bomb and the annihilation & extermination of the cretinous vermin.

Proof positive that these F-16s are obviously very valuable to the EAF and this is just one of its many capabilities with the EAF. This type of ordinance dropping is something EAF pilots have been doing since the days of the original MiG-15! Then when the MiG-17 showed up, this type of bombing was extensively used by the EAF against the enemy in the Sinai during the war or attrition and into the October War of 1973. The MiG-17 with its famous Delta Nile camo scheme was brilliant at the hands of EAF pilots in chasing enemy armored columns and dropping bombs on their heads and blowing up entire formations into oblivion. The practice is mastered and trained and used today as well.
Examining another form of the F-16's capability in using GBU Paveway PGMs on blk 52s with Sniper-XR targeting pod.
Heading out for training missions with those paveways installed on triple racks. These are the block 52s but the block 40s most certainly have this ability as well, and then some, since we've seen them also carrying paveways.
A great look at the color and possible eventual insignia placement of
EAF Su-35SE Bort # 9213 and the actual aircraft itself!

#9210 The black center dot on the roundel seems a bit too large and exaggerated, not sure why.
