Arming with Russia and China
The Russians are now in a bad situation, and therefore any military demands of countries such as Egypt and Algeria are in a stage of being fully welcomed, because their markets are narrowing.
To illustrate a simple example, the Russians did not sell the SU-35 to Iran for a simple reason. There are Saudi threats to the Russians if they sell this plane to Iran.
Simply because the Saudis will, in this case, provide support to Ukraine, whether with Saudi weapons or financial support, so this point was taken into consideration by the Russians.
While Iran sought from the Russians to obtain technologies in the field of weapons for manufacturing inside Iran and expanding the Iranian industrial base, and perhaps the most important thing for Iran is the production of a modern turboprop engine such as the RD-33 in Iran or even the AL-21 and its development in Iran so that Iran can develop Iranian aircraft locally while Iran repairs On avionics flown in from Iran or even unannounced spits from Italy and possibly Turkey
Therefore, the Russians are interested in exporting R-37M missiles to Egypt and even R-77M missiles. Is it in the interest of the Russians to leave the maintenance and development of the MIG-29M aircraft for India, which can simply integrate the AESA radar into the aircraft and provide it with Indian ammunition such as the ASTRA 2 or even the PL-15 tray?
We are still fully convinced that the SU-35 deal is complete with updates on the radar and the aircraft's electronic warfare systems. Also, the deal does not represent a major change in the balance of power in the region, but it is important to Egypt's vital interests. What is the value of 30 aircraft? The actual needs of Egypt are 60-120 aircraft.
Egypt has limitations in arming Western Rafale & EUROFUGHTER fighters
These aircraft have limited armament systems and a very high price, and no price restrictions reduce the volume of what is obtained.
A simple example shows the cost of the European MICA NG & METEOR air-to-air missiles
Between 1.5-2 million euros, if not more, and the strangest failure to counter the dumping of suicide drones and air-to-air missiles, for example, the production lines of the SAHAD-136 aircraft. One line produces 36 aircraft per day.
The AMRAM missiles used in the NSAMS system now cost $1.5 million. Simply put, the IRIS-T air defense missile costs $750,000.
To confront its path, it is worth 20 thousand dollars. When Ukraine announces that it has succeeded in overthrowing all marches, although this is not true, it is economically disastrous, and therefore Orkia and the West lose.
So it requires much less expensive ammunition and this is not available to the West
We come to the most important point. There will be competition between China and America in exporting the F-35 and FC-1
The F-35 is a failed plane, everyone complains about it, and its operating rate is low. Therefore, the Chinese and Koreans overcame this problem in their fighter programs.
Therefore, we hear about Egypt's negotiation over the FC-31 aircraft, mainly related to the replacement of the eighty-seventh installments of the F-16 fighters, 87 aircraft and 20 Mirage-2000 aircraft.
Rafale and Eurofighter deals replace Mirage-5 fighters
Americans, when they feel that countries are ignoring them, change their theory of matters, especially if there is seriousness on the part of countries regarding these points
Global industrial complexes are moving to Asia instead of from Europe and America to China and Asian countries
American and European plans to fight China economically, even with a war of treatments, will fail as usual. The West's attempt to weaken countries and its economic policy to impoverish countries is reflected on them. The Egyptian regime is forced to deal with russia, Chinese, Indians, Europeans and Gulf countries in local currencies. The current solution to postpone the crises of the Egyptian economy and prolong the life of the ruling regime in Egypt is the tendency to adopt a basket of currencies in commercial transactions. Consequently, the need for the dollar decreases and returns to its real value, as it is a currency whose strength is in controlling energy sources and selling oil in dollars, while a currency is not covered with gold, i.e. it is not equal to anything even with the strength of the American economy Debts in the tens of trillions
That is why the Americans found out that many of the outdated or technologically backward regimes, such as:
Hummer vehicles and chassis, American NAVI STAR INTERNATIONAL transport vehicles, and even forced to use the VULCAN cannon, simply because there are alternatives that have less cost and financial value. Would America present LCS ships to Egypt if these ships were really effective or efficient? Of course, no, you only get from America the scum of production. Global
The same thing, the Egyptians sought to develop M1 tanks and M113 armored vehicles. This is the result of the failure of the military leaders to develop local programs with international cooperation in the development of tanks and the production of new tanks with self-capabilities as a result of the weak performance of the leaders as usual.
