[The SC]

The Egyptian army is negotiating with the German company Rheinmetall to manufacture locally advanced armored vehicles based on the Leopard 2 tank.

The Tactical Report intelligence website reported that the Egyptian army is in advanced negotiations with the German company Rheinmetall to acquire AEV 3 Kodiak armored vehicles.

These vehicles are equipped with engineering equipment and have mine-clearing and anti-explosive versions, which are very expensive as Germany operates only 40 units, and the unit cost is $6 million.

An Egyptian military source told the Tactical Report website that Egypt is negotiating with the German side to obtain these vehicles.

He said that Egypt needs these vehicles to transport engineers within the areas of military operations because these armored vehicles are characterized by very high protection and are capable of carrying 2-3 personnel with a range of 500 km and a speed of 70 km per hour.

The Egyptian military source told Al-Monitor that the Egyptian army wants to manufacture these vehicles through technology transfer.

The source confirmed that the German company Rheinmetall agreed to the deal on the condition that the Egyptian side purchase large numbers of armored vehicles in exchange for manufacturing technology.

The AEV 3 Kodiak is armed with a 40 mm cannon.

The AEV 3 Kodiak typically uses the popular Leopard 2 tank chassis from the current surplus of users, and is also available as a newly built vehicle on the current generation Leopard 2 chassis. General modifications include removal of the turret and installation of a completely new fixed superstructure, installation of a hydraulic mount with a dozer blade or mine-clearing plow, and installation of a telescopic boom usually with an excavator.

Egypt Navy, MBDA and Sea Wolf missiles

Talks are said to be underway between the Egyptian Ministry of Defense and European defense company MBDA for the procurement of naval surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) of type Sea Wolf in favor of the Egyptian Naval Force (ENF)..

https://www.tacticalreport.com/egypt-navy-mbda-and-sea-wolf-missiles/

"Sea wolf" short-range anti-aircraft missile system is intended for firing at group subsonic and supersonic low-flying targets.

The basic version of the SAM system for arming ships of up to 3000 t displacement includes:

• Pulse Doppler radar 967 for detection of air targets (frequency range 1-2 GHz),
• Surface target detection radar 968 (frequency range 2-3 GHz),
• Radar 910 for target tracking (frequency range 8-20 GHz),
• a television tracking system for the missile and the target,
• central computer FM-1600V,
• the control command transmitter,
• two six-charged PU and a fire control system,
• the operator desks,
• rockets,
• a rocket store.

The distinctive feature of the complex is its fast reaction time (5-6s) and full autonomy of action from the moment of target detection to its interception. Pulse Doppler radar of the complex captures the target with EPR up to 0.2m2 within a radius of 10km and with EPR less than 0.2m2 - at a distance of 5-6km from the ship.

It is an automated point-defence weapon system designed as a final line of defence against both sea-skimming and high angle anti-ship missiles and aircraft.

It has been fielded by the Royal Navy in GWS-25, GWS-26 (Guided Weapon System) and VLS (Vertical Launch Sea Wolf) forms.

Sources close to the situation say that the Egyptian Navy is interested in both of two different types of these missiles..

Finally, the AESA radar enters service on the MiG-35 and Egypt is on a date with development

It seems that the Egyptian upgrade plans for the MiG-29M-M2 (Mig-35) have been delayed due to Russia not completing the development of this radar on the scheduled date for development in 2020, but the development is now ready, which is an indication that the development of these Egyptian aircraft has begun and the contract for the new batch of them, which will not be less than a similar number.. for the rapid replacement of the Soviet aircraft MiG-21 type in the Egyptian Air Force..

Regarding the specifications of the new radar, Colonel General Viktor Bondarev, who represents the Defense and Security Committee of the Russian Federation Council, said that this radar can detect a target such as a fighter plane with a 5-square-meter radar signature from a range of 160 km. These specifications are less than the ambitions announced by Russia in the past with this radar reaching a range of 260 km, and that this radar consists of 1,100 transmitting and receiving units, which increases its ability to resist radar jamming and electronic warfare and increases the difficulty of detecting its electromagnetic waves, which enhances the stealth of the aircraft..

Egypt requires the K-77m missile in order to contract large numbers of MiG-35..

Egypt has assured Russian officials that if this plane is equipped with the Russian K-77m missile, Egypt will order a large new batch of it after upgrading the first batches that Egypt has already received with 52 planes, according to the Russian SV pressa website.

It really feels good to seeing your posts again for a change the entire forum went into madness and things are now slowly returning to normalcy.. The Forum is normalizing we can finally have level-headed defense sector based talks because this is what this forum is all about at the end of the day

The Egyptian army and the mysterious Sikorsky CH-53K "King Stallion" deal with the Americans

These are very expensive but very worthy heavy lift helicopter helicopter..it can lift up to 16 tons..

[The SC]

General Mohamed Zaki, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Minister of Defense and Military Production, left Cairo, heading to the Russian capital, Moscow, at the head of a high-level military delegation on an official visit lasting several days, within the framework of strengthening military relations between the two friendly countries.

During his visit to Russia, General Mohamed Zaki, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, is scheduled to attend the activities of the seventh meeting of the Egyptian-Russian Joint Military Committee with a number of leaders and officials of the Russian Ministry of Defense, to discuss many topics of common interest and support Military cooperation relations between the armed forces of both countries

Then:

The appearance of the Buk-M3 Viking in Moscow with Egyptian camouflage!

There was news that Egypt had already requested it..according to "Russia Today" site

The Russian side had earlier announced the provision of a new missile for the "Buk M3" system, with a range of 130 km. The speed of the new missile is 5 mach..

As well as other systems..in the 7th International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2021"

The Egyptian desert camouflage is different from the desert camouflage of any other country in the Russian armament, as it is displayed next to the VM system.

Antey-4000

When Egypt contracted in 2015 for the S-300 VM/SA-23 Antey-2500 system, some thought that the natural extension was the S-400, but Russia has a new system with capabilities similar to the S-400 that serves the Egyptian trends at a differential price and away from sanctions, which is “Antey-4000” “.

Ante 4000 is an update of the Ante 2500 system, the version that the Egyptian army has. This system is the export version of the S-300V4, which is tracked in contrast to the wheeled S-300V4, where the range, height and speed of the targets was greatly expanded, and it contained two missiles with unprecedented capabilities: the light “9M83” missile and the “9M82” heavy missile. The latter was devoted to combating the American "Pershing" missiles that appeared in European countries. The primary improvement of the Antey-4000 over the prior Antey-2500 and S-300VM systems was reported to be the enhanced engagement envelope for all targets engaged by the system.

The system can hit enemy planes 380 km away from it and flying at an altitude of 33 km, with 9M82MDA missiles.

Its capabilities to intercept ballistic missiles have been greatly increased. It can now hit ballistic missile warheads that fly at 4800 meters per second.

As for the tactical operational missiles, the “Antey-4000” system can hit a target 45 km away from it and flying at an altitude of 27 km, according to the Russian “Mordovia” news agency.

The fully digital Antey-4000 system contains increased resources and upgrades and is capable of hitting up to 24 aerodynamic targets in the event of a missile attack, including stealth ones.

The system possesses new capabilities of tactical and technical characteristics of air defense to protect the most important administrative, industrial and military facilities and to combat air targets. Its main function is to counter ballistic missiles, and some sources say that the system is capable of targeting AWACS planes at very large distances, and the tracked metal structure makes the system mobile. even on rugged terrain and makes it capable of defending military areas and formations in the theater of operations. The Antey-4000 is significantly superior to its predecessor, the Antey-2500 air defense missile system, in terms of range, altitude, speed of destruction of aerodynamic targets and has no analogues in its class. It is also less expensive than the S-400.

The missile has reached a range of 350 km in tests so far, at a speed of Mach 9..

New deal for 330
2 used 3 new manufacture

So I have checked with some of my local contacts and checked the local papers etc. and never heard anything about 330 MRTT for Egypt beyond the 2 most likely new ones because of the time of delivery. And in actuality, Airbus is saying that "currently there is negotiations going on with Egypt for the delivery of 2 Airbus A330 MRTT for the EAF with the boom refueler and the wing pods with drogue and chute delivery system." No mention about those being used, let alone any additional 4 new ones!

Can you qualify this information please? It would be good to know because if that was the case, that means that the EAF with that capability can actually provide internationally recognize A2A qualifications acceptance and service to allies for those passing through and in need for a fill up without the hassle of landings. Something similar to what the UAE is doing. That would be quite something to improve the diplomatic channels with VITAL area allies and a HUGE step.

Egypt Navy, MBDA and Sea Wolf missiles

There you go. This is how you overwhelm that cretin-filled Jewish lobby who's sole purpose is hell bent on stopping Egypt from getting any advanced weapons, by going and asking many many many different types that the first come, first serve and that will give the ziionists and headache caused by a major failure since it would be a big time headache to keep up. Let's see what they say about the CH-53K LOLOLOL! They'll bitch about that just as much as they bitched about the Apache Long Bow, the clowns. I'm just frightened about that number of $120 million is ridiculous beyond belief.

It seems that the Egyptian upgrade plans for the MiG-29M-M2 (Mig-35) have been delayed due to Russia not completing the development of this radar on the scheduled date for development in 2020, but the development is now ready, which is an indication that the development of these Egyptian aircraft has begun and the contract for the new batch of them, which will not be less than a similar number.. for the rapid replacement of the Soviet aircraft MiG-21 type in the Egyptian Air Force..

First we get them to change every single Zhuk-ME in all 50 MiG-29M/M2 and convert them ALL to AESA Zhuk-AE AESA capable radars and make good on their offer that we were the FIRST to purchase that aircraft and bring them on the map and the head of Zhukovski had the NERVE to tell those nitwits from MENA that it doesn't match up to the MiG-35 because of the radar but not just that, the target designator is a pod as well as the FLIR and those aren't fixed like they should be on the 35. So before we spend a single additional piaster lol on any supposed MiG-35, we want a MAJOR discount on all 50 of them as well as proof positive that they are fully loaded with the 3 things I just mentioned, as well as the full upgrade of the Zhuk-ME to the AE for the best price possible and that is 0,00000000 dollars!! Don't you guys agree?

The problem is that I bet the Russians made it a clause that the Zhuk-ME will be it and when the AE is available, the EAF will have to pay for the upgrade if they chose to. However, I'm willing to bet that because MiG wasn't getting any other offers besides the Egyptian one, that the EAF held the bargaining power and might have been able to insist on that upgrade for free? Never know but let's hope that's what happened.

That's all great news and fine and dandy, but I don't want to see any more shenanigans by the Russians when it comes to the fighter jets and let's go with the Su-35 already!!! Start showing delivery of those things let's see them and stop worrying about what those Americans threatening with CAATSA and Biden after all the crap that came out of his mouth. He has enough of a screw up on his plate with the sandals of the Taliban to worry about the 10th most powerful army in the world mal300n abuhum. lol

@The SC is the greatest contributor in this forum. The one fellow with a bit of power who wanted to band him because of a silly disagreement went about it the wrong way but I think the higher power that be put that individual in check, which was a good move otherwise this place would suck beyond belief since it would alienate a large contingency that makes a big part of it. There was even some friggin nitwit who would get banned every week; at least once or twice with absolutely no credibility sucking up to the mod trying to push a ban on SC; I wanted to jump in the computer and slap that clown in the face lol. Do you remember that jerkoff, SC? lol I'd be gone in a heart beat if he was banned crap there would be hardly any use for my participation! That's how valuable he is to me and this forum IMO.

The Egyptian army and the mysterious Sikorsky CH-53K "King Stallion" deal with the Americans

WOW! So who is this fella narrating these videos? Do you know? Does he have some clout and is he in the know-how so he can actually make comments like the EAF is interested in the MASSIVE CH-53K and not only at $120 million a piece which I find absolutely ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!! Reminds me how much a Rafale or better yet, an F-35 costs? And they want $120K for that oversized behemoth that they sold to the zionist land grabbing pigs for what, $80K a piece?

FINE, we'll take the 10 they want to contract for $120 million a piece LMFAO except I'll tell you what, we'll take 50 YES THAT'S RIGHT YOU READ IT CORRECTLY WE'LL TAKE 50 F-35's WHICH WOULD BE MOSTLY THE C VARIANT (best variant of all IMO with larger wings and all around killer fighter on the seas), A FEW A's and a crap load of B STOVL models and then we'll drop the Su-57 deal. Not the Su-35 those are coming for SURE including the new MiG-35s and the 53 Rafales and the 24 Typhoons etc. but we won't order the Su-57 to make you a little happy. But that is the ONLY concession we will make OH and of course, we NEVER want to hear any more crap about the AIM-120 or AIM-9X being disallowed to Egypt NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER mention EVER again! We want all 197 F-16 upgraded with the new radars and the new missiles and MUM is the word after that! If we give up a right to buy the 2nd best stealth fighter in the world, the US better make up for that capitulation and then some.

That is THE ONLY WAY we will capitulate to any American and anti Russian conditions is if ALL OF THOSE conditions are met. If not, see you later! Not paying $120 ,million LOL for a helicopter (no matter how big and how good it is) when I can buy 2 MiG-35s with the same amount of money........are these American crazy? Time to get really tough with them and stop allowing the Jews to dictate conditions. Those days are over!

Fill us in a little about this Scorpene deal, bro. Any idea where it stands? Egypt REALLY needs to invest in AIP technology VERY SOON!!!

Fill us in a little about this Scorpene deal, bro. Any idea where it stands? Egypt REALLY needs to invest in AIP technology VERY SOON!!!

- Most likely that was a UAE 330 MRTT in Egypt.. patches from that last air exercise were saying Egypt-UAE air force..HaHa!

- The Sea Wolf missile is pretty potent..and we know Egypt wants to build its own warships.. So this system with ToT (should be easy ..since it is an older system that has been upgraded).. might provide a good short range air defense for existing and future warships of the EN.. even for the LHDs..

- The EAF wants nothing less than the K-77m as a condition to buy more Mig-35s.. This AESA radar need to be tested by the EAF and see its worth..160 km range should be good for interceptors like the Mig-35s.. a little more could have been better..

- I remember that episode where the US is always right and Russia is always wrong.. I was neutral in there.. And I've answered in the thread about Khibiny..

- Sikorsky has joined forces with German Rheinmetall for this program, and offers the CH-53K King Stallion
https://www.meta-defense.fr/en/2020...offer-the-ch-53k-heavy-helicopter-in-germany/
This is the German link that makes it more credible.. But Egypt won't get more than 4 and max 8 because these are very useful with that 16 000 tons lift capacity..

- Well bro.. If Egypt is going to get ToT of the Scorpene-2000, it should first build the necessary facilities and get the machinery and equipments for the production lines.. and we know that Egypt is working on just that with Lurssen.. so the bet is that the deal will go on..logically..

I know about the situation of the refueling planes in the Emirates
I know where they are also
I am talking about a new deal that has been confirmed for 2 users other than the new deal that was signed in the month of June
As for the see wolf, it is for Knox or a piece of the old development for it no I know why this deal

Good stuff, ma man. They are building the facilities and they'll be tied in with one another, as in the maritime buildings which will be designated for warships, submarines and even helos and weaponry. Should be fantastic when it's all said and done. The organization is top notch, a far cry from the buffoonery and disorganization of the old days.

Speaking of MRTT, some new pics:

Oh my goodness, what a logistical nightmare! Rafales, MiG-29/35s, F-16s, Mirage 2000s and soon to add Su-35SE and maybe Eurofighter Typhoons wow these Egyptians are nuts man! Oh but wait, they're all flying together there and seem to be refueling from an MRTT and have been operating this logistical nightmare for a few years, now!? How is that possible? Hey, @Wilhelm II what do you think bro LOL!
