These shows and exercises have been dubbed “The Pyramids Air Show 2022”. The Korean team will use the Korean-made T-50 advanced training and close air support aircraft, and the Egyptian team will use the Chinese K8E aircraft manufactured under license in Egypt..

The South Korean plane is excluded for the EAF, although it is one of the best planes on the scene due to its high price and close to the price of fighters..

There will be aerial exercice with the EAF so maybe we will our Air Force training with S.Korean AF
 
For you, if the Novi Avion project is revived then when Egypt can produce them in mass?
France Dassault was heavily involved in the the Novi Avion project.. So after acquiring the design and specs by Egypt.. My best guess is 4 years before we see a prototype test..Egypt has also experience with the Helwan HA-300 fighter plane..

So like 10 years to be fully produce etc..
 
Not sure it is a compass call though.. or maybe a degraded version..

That's what I said, too. They would be equipped with a lot more elements that would indicate a capable ELINT platform IMO. Or they're basic configurations which is probably the extent of it. But they should have something much, much much better and much more modern to deal with the heavy EW environment in air battles today, especially going up against capable foes.

Do exactly what the US is doing when they appear to have upgraded from the EC-130H Compass Call to the EC-37B, a much better and more modern/capable platform than the Vietnam war era aircraft. That was ridiculous that they spent so much money modifying those Hercules' to ELINT and EW tactical aircraft. And only 4 of them apparently which were so maintenance intensive that it took 12 hours for a full maintenance crew to change 1 propellor blade!? Are they serious? I find that hard to believe TBH lol. I think that dude super exaggerated that time frame.

Maybe buy the same Global Express 6000 aircraft modified by Marshall Group into an ELINT/SIGINT platform,, like the UAE did..

Yes, for sure. As much love as we have for the UAE, we should not have an inferior ELINT platform with all due respect. That just doesn't sit well, especially now with the much more modern & capable EAF fleet of aircraft.

Or France's Falcon 8X SIGINT

Aside from the Embraer KC-390 (since they seem to have signed a deal or will sign a deal to build them locally which is another item to add to that list of 11, now 12), where they could equip it with their own stuff that would work for all the different platforms through the new domestic data link network and really make it super custom. This French Falcon would be the best choice IMO. Falcons are well known to be some of the best aircraft out there and the French, as we know, build exceptionally good equipment but the usual will befall the EAF such as cost and contract approval. But certainly the best option IMO

Or, invest in something similar to the US-built EC-37B because of its ultimate capabilities. Flying much higher and further from threats while able to collect & transmit from those distances as well as so much more these newer platforms have to offer. That really would be ideally the best way to go.
 
Apaches are no good without the longbow radar, also pretty sure the berev a50 has decent capabilities, not sure of its purely an AWACS platform or can carry other duties. Russias working an the berev a100 but it'll take time before we see those spreading its wings in Siberia. Have they at least considered the mi 28 havoc?
