A couple of the over 100 or so Caiman Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles & APCs from the US Iraq/Afghanistan overstock inventory that they delivered to the Egyptian Army. One thing for sure EGY army isn't short on is APCs of all kinds.
VIP Blackhawk helicopter being escorted by two Apache gunship helicopters to unknown destination in Sinai.
One of the older original EAF Mirage Vs at the military museum.
@Hydration , here's that famous pic taken by a civilian of one of the K-9 Thunder self-propelled howitzer being driven by a HET to a certain location to be test fired. There's also a gif or video of one of those test fires and I remember the sound it made was absolutely frightening. Sounded like a nuke went off. I bet @The SC remembers that when it was fired and the guy filming says "yan7ar esweeeeed" lol.
They actually have used it with that modified windscreen before in the combined arms drill exercise for the opening of Bernice Naval Base in 2020. Here is the video and it's pretty long but you can see the Streit Sand ATVs (a pair of them) laying smoke screens for shoring navy commandoes and bridgehead. Forward to minute 1:50:22 . A pair of them unload off of Chinooks and layout heavy red smokescreen for the Sa'aka troops as well as the navy paratroopers.
@Minute 2:11:01 it looks like the second of the two ATVs has either an FN Minimi or M60E4 or even a RPD mounted on that windscreen. Actually it's probably mounted on one of those vertical stands but appears to be sitting on the windscreen. Some really great stuff.
I was going to open a thread on this event and discuss this really excellent combined arms exercise that was executed to perfection, and they used so many different assets from all attack helos to Rafales and F-16s even TOR M3 and Mi-24 Hinds and even Type 209 submarine. Some neat navy commando GoPro action swimming in the water to shore at minute 1:40:40.

@Buschlaid some videos for you
Can someone ID this tank. Because Egypt doesn't have this type of modernized T-series tanks. So I think it is either Iraq or Syria.
Me when I don't have the geish hahaha.

Yeah baby! hahaaa. They were even testing out the French Ceasar truck-mounted artillery system at the same time.
Then they ended up somehow with this ingenious solution of adopting this modification a few years ago; taking the D-30 122mm Howitzer and mounting it on brand newly & locally built versions of the Ural 4320 truck that they reinforced the frame and chassis and added the hydraulic stabilizer you can clearly see in the baboom pic. The power on that thing and what a great modification solution. A similar modification also happened with the M-46 130 mm towed field gun which I believe was shown in that video I posted of the Bernice combined arms demonstration. This thing is a beast and a perfect example that the Egyptian army can make great things happen if it just puts its heads together and get things done.
The first MEKO A200-class frigate ENS Al-Aziz should be arriving any day now! Keep an eye out for it, fellas! This is exciting adding another beastly figure to an already stacked fleet of frigates.

That's a tough one! I can't figure it out because it has T-72 all over it with reactive armor but we never purchased that disaster model tank thank God and it doesn't appear to be a T-80 or a Ramses II. It has similar square vents in the back like the M-60A3 but it definitely is not M60. So it's a puzzler. Maybe it is an Iraqi or Syrian tank.

The fleet of F-16s currently in service with the Egyptian Air Force (EAF) is reported to receive significant upgrades soon.
The U.S. administration is said to have approved these upgrades.
@Gomig-21 @The SC @Hydration
Imagine it is true. We need someone to hack it the article so we can see what they are saying hahaha. Inshallah AIM-120 with it.
The SS-10 in question is the UR-200 ICBM, glad you noticed the post.
Tank crews finally using flame retardant clothing and Kevlar helmets. Tank crews used to be inappropriately equipped for work in hazardous confined areas where fatal owner rations and bumps are a real possibility

We must reverse engineer weapons to boost our industry. Ofc Turkey took the design of AIM-120 and putted their own parts.
