thanks for the compliment
It is normal for there to be a disagreement and there is agreement on some points. There is no complete agreement that comes to the points
The nature of Egyptian-American relations since the eighties varies according to what versus what
We will talk about the history of those Egyptian-American relations. Egypt in the eighties wanted to sell TU-16 planes and SU-7/20 planes to Iraq and other equipment. America refused to sell them to Saddam Hussein so as not to increase his military power.
At the same time, it refused to sell to Egypt the Lockheed P-3 Orion
Egypt was taking a policy of obtaining the largest amount of benefits from America. In exchange for the Americans, Egypt disabled 2,300 M60 tanks and 1,130 M1 tanks, before Egypt destroyed some old T-54 and T-55 tanks.
In exchange for Egypt getting 4000 American armored vehicles at symbolic prices and 1500 European armored vehicles for free, it was disregarding the trade exchange in favor of Europe and the unbalanced one with Egypt.
And Egypt is like the American refusal. Egypt has always been looking for an alternative. America refused to supply the M110 artillery
Egypt was getting North Korean artillery M-1989 Koksan
With a range of 60 km to maintain the superiority of Egyptian artillery over the Israeli and even the Soviet 2S7 Pion in deals with Russia from 1991-2000 and Ukraine from 1991-2014
Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, America announced that military spending as well as military industries in the world would be reduced. America considered that there was no longer an arms race with the Soviets. Egypt agreed, for another reason entirely, that it obtained large numbers of Soviet weapons from Russia at almost free prices. Egypt with one billion dollars to buy Soviet weapons to increase Egypt’s stockpiles of weapons, which affected investment in the Egyptian military industries, but Egypt since 1988 has been saving 150-250 million dollars annually as investments for the Egyptian armed forces to buy Egypt’s needs of weapons from outside the United States and these annual funds It was investing in economic projects for the Egyptian army, which created an economic entity for the army at the time, which gradually increased
Since 2003 and the American invasion of Iraq, the rates of America's refusal to supply weapons to Egypt began to increase, and the restrictions on supplying advanced weapons began to increase, so it reactivated its military industry and formed plans to produce a local fighter with a license and a helicopter with a license
The Egyptian military planted a series of factories, which also included the naval arsenal for the manufacture of Egyptian naval parts. The plans were to produce Chinese or Russian equipment. Therefore, Egypt was maximizing the volume of needs for this locally produced equipment in the future by creating a local market for it by providing a large volume of demands, and it was satisfied with the upgrade of MiG-21 and Mirage 5 aircraft. And the F7 to be in service for several more years, but at a limited upgrade cost, as Egypt does not see any benefit in aircraft that have spent more than half of their life in an intensive and high-cost upgrade program for this equipment because it will be in use within 15 years later
The weapons production programs that Egypt has been negotiating since 2007 were expected to start in 2012
The events of 2011 made the West implement an arms embargo on Egypt
Egypt has increased cooperation with China and Russia in ballistic missiles
As a result of July 2013 and the imposition of an arms embargo on Egypt, America increased its stockpiles of Russian and Chinese weapons through deals in October-November 2013, then the deals increased
Later
The United States imposes arms restrictions on Egypt
The current situation: America cannot impose sanctions on Egypt because of Egypt's purchase of SU-35 fighters
Part of the Egyptian weapons upgrade programs are related to the cost
For example, Egypt bought an American missile, an AIM-120 missile, at a price of 2 million dollars for the missile
upgrade F-16 fighters at a price starting from 20-35 million dollars with armament is very expensive, which is the same as Egypt’s refusal to upgrade Mirage-2000 planes at a price of 40 million dollars with France
SAME M1A1 problem
America's commitment to Israel's military superiority is totally unacceptable to Egypt, as Egypt had previously accepted some Israeli theoretical success in the air force in return for Egypt's expansion in the manufacture of ballistic missiles and the possession of larger stockpiles
Egypt has a politician. There is no such thing as a failed project or a failed deal. Rather, it may be postponed, but it is not accepted to be cancelled.
And not all of the weapons that Egypt possesses are advertised and are of good quality
Another point, Egypt takes advantage of any step it takes to have a return. Let us suppose that Egypt canceled the SU-35 deal. Egypt would have presented it on a silver platter to America for free. Rather, the matter was for a huge return.
First, Egypt did not cancel the SU-35 deal, simply the Russians are in need of fighters and they were going to fight after February 2022 by canceling the Egyptian deal and supplying it to the Russian Air Force. Russia will strike Poland or one of the NATO countries in the coming months, which is the reason for its expansion in the production of drones to exceed 100 per day, as well as buying weapons from Iran and North Korea in large quantities because they are simply planning to deter NATO with huge Russian and non-Russian weapons at a low cost in exchange for emptying NATO stores of weapons
If EGYPT had refused at all the SU-35 deal with Russia, it would have obtained directly from America 48 used F-15C/E at a free cost, and it would have obtained the upgrade of the F-16 radar with a price of no more than 3.5 million dollars, huge quantities of F-16 ammunition, and a limited cost to upgrade M1A1 and M113, but what happened is the following
Until Egypt obtained 40 UH-60A/L aircraft used to replace the M-8 aircraft
Stopping any deals of value to Egypt Postponing the F-16 upgrade program for years to come, and the Greek upgrade of Egyptian planes may be accepted in Greece, or Portuguese flights for Egyptian planes to a modest level
America refused to carry out any deals
E-2D , C-130J , CH-47F
America refused to even discuss the supply of the MH-60R SEAHAWK®
Bell-412 EPI ASW was offered to Egypt at a very modest level of equipment, which led to Egypt's rejection of it
Even missiles that are considered old, such as the TOW 2B, Egypt has so far refused to supply to Egypt
American pressure on Europe to restrict the transfer of technology and armaments to Egypt increases the Egyptians’ alienation from America There is an American policy that is based on the economic damage to the world by raising the interest of the dollar, forcing countries to search for an alternative currency to the dollar, which gradually all countries will move away from it, just as it has moved away from economic and military dealings with America. The world wants to rid itself of its dominance since 2008.
AS you see matter go worse
Su-35 delivery postponed until 2023
It has benefits for Egypt in terms of integrating 30 AESA radars with it
More advanced Russian munitions, also at a limited cost
The SU-35 will be equipped with export Hypersonic missiles in future
The R-37M missile is completely different from the R-33 missile, which was intended to attack early warning and tanker planes.
The MIG-29M will upgrade the AESA radar, which is the same radar that will be used on the SU-75 and the MIG-29M.
It will be supplied with the R-77M and R-37M missiles, along with all the munitions supplied to the SU-35 fighters.
The KA-52 MIG-29 S-300V, which previously had full upgrade deals, is under negotiation with the Russians.
Even at a lower cost, the R-77M missile, in quantities greater than 150 missiles, is sold at a price of 800 thousand dollars. China offers the PL-15E at a good price
China is already putting Russia in the corner by offering weapons at lower cost and better technology in the field of munitions
Which makes the Russians keep their customers as a result of Chinese competition
Egypt, Italy, there is a refusal to implement major agreements with Egypt under the pretext of killing Regeni, beside Europe, now suffering economically as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian welcome
America is fighting Europe, Russia is in Ukraine and China is fighting America through Russia, so China is currently providing AESA radar components and electronics from India also to Russia as a kind of support to Russia
When we introduce Chinese weapons as an alternative to European, even if there are some gaps because there is another Chinese superiority, the Chinese gap adds and replaces it with a Chinese superiority over Europe
Europe has not been able to produce a fifth generation fighter, China offers that it is approaching the production of sixth generation fighters, and the Americans themselves say that they are behind the Chinese at this point
China displays Hypersonic missile
For export, with a better advantage than the Russians, which is the carrier air platforms that do not need high speeds, such as 2,300 km, like the Russian missiles from the air launch platform.
China offers solutions to upgrade F-16 & MIRAGE-2000 fighters with better munitions as well as off-the-shelf
The same is true for warships
When America introduced the American XQ-58 plane, it bought it, and its price did not exceed 3 million dollars
China offers the FH-7A aircraft with higher and better specifications at the same price
America wants to replace the MQ-9 plane with another plane powered by turbofan/turbojet engines. China provides this from now in various types and at an acceptable cost
When America was showing the AN/TPQ-37 Firefinder radar China and India provided better radar at a lower cost
Egypt does not consider America a true friend or a permanent friend, but rather considers the relationship utilitarian to the extent that Egypt benefits, and that Egypt knows perfectly that America and Europe, Israel and its superiority are more important to them than any relations with a large country like Egypt, and therefore Egypt evaluates the size of this relationship with these countries the size of Egypt's benefit
America does not offer anything to Egypt except what does not benefit Egypt, as we explained previously
America provided Egypt with M1A1 tanks and refused to export them from Egypt to any other country
It provided Egypt with ST-100/500 engines and chassis to control the volume of production, so that Egypt could not compete with JLTV.
So that Egypt cannot secure a volume for its real needs, stop any real export and maintain the low efficiency of the 200 Military Factory, the Americans accept cooperation with South Korea so that America is in control of the Egyptian military industry as well. The one who puts yourself under the nets of American control, therefore, we do not welcome Egyptian-American military cooperation because It does not benefit Egypt
How do you expect respect and you are a failure, unable even to design a good pistol, so you have money with a main combat rifle, and your abilities are miserable in producing even a main combat rifle that does not reach the theaters of operations
I don't care that the military ignores us. Each of us does what he wants. Simply as they ignore the Egyptians and their interests. We reject any cooperation with them or any support for them, because we do not accept their policies from the ground up. Everyone does what they want and what supports their interests. As for the other, let him go to hell because the matter is not looking for the national interest, but other things.
Every party deserves it
You can respect any ruling regime if it can provide good basic services and education, as well as job opportunities, freedom of economic growth, and comprehensive upgrade of the state. If you do not respect and do not accept this system, we do not demand political war or demonstrations. On the contrary, we do not support our enemy, but rather leave him until he bleeds because he is a failure and is on the path to failure. Failure to support is a guarantee of failure because you rejected him.
China displays more than 50 different robots with various equipment, and Europe is terrified that China has surpassed it in many future weapons
