So I'm going to hold to all these incredible things you're saying. Let's list them one by one so we keep track of them, ok?
1) There are already 100 F-16s block 40 being developed to block 52 since 2018, yes?
2) More than one of those block 40s appeared with the conformal fuel tanks, yes?
3) The AMRAAM will appear soon, yes?
4) You've seen previously published pictures of scavenged weapons on F-16 such as that crazy cool-looking AIM-7 Sparrow with what appears to be some type of active seeker?
5) Also (not in the post above, but in other posts you made) you said the Su-35 will soon be unveiled, correct?
Please give us yes or no answers so we are sure of what you just said ya rayis.
If the US is doing all of this, then the EAF brings out the Su-35SE, that will be quite something and will be a turning point in the Egyptian Armed Forces showing balls as huge as elephant ones. It seems counter-intuitive that the US would provide all of these upgrades (including the possibility of providing the AIM-120 to 100 F-16s which would include about 73 new radars also. Then the EAF breaks out the Su-35!?
We also need to keep up on the development of the change of avionics on the Su-35SE to make it compatible to the other fighters, a recent development that also could possibly account for the delay of the unveiling. But there seems to be a lot going on, causing heads to spin.
su35 Another batch arrived during this year, and with the arrival of Russian consultants for training in Egypt, the promotion takes place from more than one source from Greece, Portugal, and finally Britain, and I have new news for you from Britain. The issue of commanding America, so far, there are negotiations between it and Egypt for some new weapons. The issue has not happened for a day or a month, but it continues over the years. The fleet is large and really needs work.
h Defense Senior Adviser to the Middle East and North Africa (DSAME) Air Marshal Martin
Sampson visited Egypt earlier this month (13/10/21), where he met with several Egyptian
security officials and military officers.
Reports from Cairo suggest that Sampson held a meeting with Commander of the Egyptian Air
Force (EAF) Lt-General Mohammad Abbas Helmy, during which they discussed cooperation in
various fields, including joint training agreements and future procurement projects
The same report suggests that Lt-General Helmy and Air Marshal Sampson discussed the
possibility of a joint electronic warfare (EW) training program for EAF pilot cadets.
This would include multi-pilot simulation training, full-flight air-to-air tactical training, and virtual
reality (VR) conflict simulation.
They also discussed a transfer of technology (ToT) agreement whereby Egypt would manufacture
VR simulators based on the EAF’s tactical needs.
Moreover, Lt-General Helmy and Air Marshal Sampson touched upon future procurement
projects in favor of the EAF, including new airborne radars, helmet-mounted systems, supply
aircraft, and infrared search and track systems (IRST).

I also talked about the maritime deal with France, and negotiations and signing are already taking place in the first half of 2022
