Too many mistakes in a post..
There hasn't been a single post that offers any semblance of technical data to support one side or the other. Nothing but biased views based on the usual hatred towards Egypt to the point where they can't list a single technical thing whatsoever! It's astonishing, but not surprising.
All of this crap from a silly OP by
@Zarvan , I thought you were better than that to start a flaming war like this because you knew very well this would happen, yet you went ahead and posted it. I wonder why?
No one has listed one single defensive capability that Egypt possesses that would actually debilitate Israel's air force from the getgo and none of you know about it because you choose to be ignorant in the matter and don't try to educate yourself before spewing out your one-sided bias.
Egypt has a pair of 1100 kilometre surveillance and radar stations that operate on low L-band radar frequencies made by Russia that cover the entire circumference of that 1100 kilometre circle which essentially encompasses all of Israel and much much more. There's a dedicated team of very well educated& trained officers who man those command stations and radars 24 hours 365 days and produce daily briefings that reach a certain level of command who then, based on the information (which includes all enemy and civilian air and ground equipment) within that large air space in surrounding countries and if that individual determines the need to go any further up the chain, he does. Either way, it ends up at the highest command once a week so that he's in the loop of what is going on for every day of that week and so is every one else responsible for the 3 branches of the military.
That's just one aspect. The other is a trained group of forces that breaches the canal in a few hours and drives deep into the Sinai to set up pre-determined positions to create a layered wall of defense that includes several armored divisions including their own mobile SAM batteries along with a huge contingency of infantry brigades split in 3 division, totaling about 150,000 men.
Egypt has 8 E-2C Hawkeyes for AWACs and EW along with 2 C-130 compass calls for dedicated EW as well as other platforms in jamming the enemy to the point that the last time they used the ground units for jamming, they shut down the lower half of Israel's cell phone service for a day or so.
I'll leave it at that for now and come back with more regarding the air force and the navy since the objective is for Israel to invade Sinai an capture it and all Egypt needs to do is defend it. Right? lol, Egypt has been planning and readying and supplying for this day since 1987. All of you posting so far don't have a clue about any of this stuff as it's pretty clear and only chose to degrade and insult but offer nothing in terms of how Israel would come close to pulling it off and all you do is base it on 1967 when the situation was quite different and let alone 1956 when the UK and France fought Egypt at the same time allowing Israel to invade Sinai, only to be told by Eisenhower to GTFO and all three tucked their tails between their legs and did the walk of shame.
Anyone knows anything about military would understand that without the element of surprise, the attacker must have 3 to 5 times the power of the defender in order to only have a chance for victory. That doesn't even guarantee victory, it just raises one's chances, This is basic military stuff that clearly none of you commenting with such confidence in Israel's favor out of personal agendas have a clue about.
And what about separation of forces after the last war in 1973 when Egypt sent Israel packing halfway across Sinai losing half the territory it gained in 1967?!?!?! Anyone know what and how it's shaped for BOTH countries, Egypt as well as Israel? What, no? Of course you don't loool it's clear as day reading the 6th grade commentary on here. I suggest you familiarize yourself with all of Egypt's capabilities (that would take a while, actually) and what they have done in Sinai to prevent another invasion and what protocols does the Egyptian army have to defend Sinai which oh, BTW, is EGYPTIAN land in case any of you have some delusions that it's belongs to ISIS or the Palestinians or something along with the level of intelligence witnessed here so far and then get back to us. This should be good, Cheers.
