A broke and poor country making defence acquisitions like a trillion-dollar economy. Just doesn't seems right.
To make matters worse. The acquisitions seem sporadic without an overall strategy. No integrated warfare capabilities, just shiny expensive single unit war machines.
Feed your people instead of this moronic behaviour.
A broke and poor country? How do you know that Egypt is a broke and poor country? Did you have any actual and statistical knowledge of the state of Egypt's finances before making that degrading and quite evidently an uneducated comment? Show me where you get that info that has you so blindly biased against Egypt? Are you aware of what Egypt's GDP is? Or even the progression since the revolution and the from 2013 with the new government to see any pattern? The strength of its current and predicted economy? Predicted oil and especially gas reserves vs GDP? Better yet, any idea what projects are being built for the people in Egypt? I'll tell you what, to start your education, take a look at the maps below so you get a basic, preliminary understanding (since pictures are easier for people who are somewhat unaware of the facts) and in reality, are simply biased and full of hatred towards Egypt for some known and unknown reasons. Let's take a look at the maps below.
Sisi is doing what he was chosen to do, make Egypt impotent. majority of members irrespective of nationality agree that their acquisitions don't make any sense..
And you know more about what makes sense for Egypt than the entire Egyptian military brass? LMFAO!!! Come owwn, maaaaaaan!

Granted this is from 2011 but that's even better because the situation was actually much worst then and only a few months into the revolution which practically destroyed the economy.
So at arguably the worst time of the Egyptian economy, it was at 1.01% - 5.00% of the population living in extreme poverty. Let's look at other countries with the same ratio as a comparison because if Egypt gets labeled that way, then these other countries should as well, right? It only makes sense.
1) Pakistan?!?!?! No!? Ooof, the irony
2) Mexico
3) Brazil
4) Italy and some other countries like Iraq, Jordan etc. you can see for yourself.
But the interesting part is the next level which is only a difference of anywhere between 1% & 5% are countries like Iran, Algeria, China, the great and all powerful USA with a military budget that is greater than the next 6 COMBINED!!!!! lol oh and Turkey, Canada etc. So the disparity, interestingly enough, is not that great from one country at 1-5 percent and those at .01 to 1 percent. How about that for some sobering perspectives? Everything is relative but you folks aren't capable of seeing the big picture and only focus narrowly because the hatred inside you is so overwhelming, it clouds your judgment.
Let's take a look at 2019 military spending as a share of GDP since you folks brought up the people in poverty, and so that means GDP needs to be scrutinized. So where is Egypt at? What.....less than Pakistan?!?!?! How is that for some sobering statistics?
Let's take a look at the hunger map for 2018. Egypt is on par with TURKEY? The United States, ALL OF EUROPE and...well, you can see for yourself and get some education instead of talking without knowing so it doesn't come back and bite you like this and show your lack of understanding, but more importantly the unfortunate & evident hatred towards Egypt. It's really too bad.
No one in their right mind would call the Egyptian military "efficient".....
And what are your qualifications? Care to list them?
Rafale, MIG-29, F-16, SU-35, Mirage 2000 and now Eurofighter. 6 different types......
Yeah, so what? We've flown F-16s, F-4Es, Mirage 5s, Mirage 2000s, MiG-21s, J-7s (6 types from the US, French, Russian and Chinese) the whole time before these acquisitions (that was a period of over 30 years!) and those are older and much less equipped and actually more difficult to not only keep flying, but to upgrade and make efficient. All these new aircraft are actually MUCH easier to learn on, to upkeep and to teach because the technology is much more developed and user-friendly. Ergonomics are much better making systems much more user-friendly and easier. Integration becomes much easier because of the software and hardware capabilities and their interchangeability and so on and so forth. See, you people don't take the little and side-lines yet all important details into consideration for some bizarre reason. Why is that? Is it because you have a certain dislike for Egypt that you just shoot from the hip with so much ignorance, or were you genuinely unaware? Problem is, either way, it will always come back and bite you in the behind.
Most of their US equipment is downgraded (no AMRAAMs for their F-16s) Israel ensures this.
AHA!!! So what do we do, Mr. know-it-all? Stay with the same downgraded crap or go buy other better and non-downgraded jets? lol.....

They have really struggled to keep down rebels in Sinai.
So the rebels whom are in a section about 40 square kilometres off the border of Gaza and without razing 3 towns and displacing well over 100,000 people, it's actually not an easy thing to do but maybe you can teach us since you seem to know better. Care to teach us? Do you know what 3 towns and where they are exactly and what it would take to -- in your own words --- "keep down the rebels in Sinai" which obviously is not all of Sinai and maybe a portion that is less than 3% of it. How much of ISIS' Sinai province is actually still a force after the military incursion? What is the network in relation to Gaza? How would you cut that off completely without people screaming that you're being inhumane? Do you know the answers to all these questions? Do tell us, please.
cannot even help defeat GNA in next door Libya and negligible in Yeman.
Ah, so it's Egypt's fault that the LNA is not destroying the GNA when that wasn't even the priority for the support of Haftar and the LNA which was primarily to ensure the western border to Egypt is secured from scum terrorist entering our country as well as killing Egyptians in Libya, especially Coptic Egyptians and both of those have actually worked out really well after initial setbacks. Other than that, this is hardly an Egyptian military campaign but I suppose the haters might as well throw it in there lol. You must've also missed all the footage of Egyptian aerial attacks destroying thousands of cretin scum trying to enter Egypt though the border only to be pulverized by EAF-F-16s and Wingloong UAVs. A lot of footage of that stuff on the Egyptian military thread you should go educate yourself. So I would say that the Egyptian military has done extremely well at protecting its border which is the priority to the support of the LNA.
and negligible in Yeman.
3 EAF F-16 doing mostly recon and intelligence gathering is the extent of Egypt's involvement in Yemen loooool. But hey, might as well throw that in also.

Why is a British guy with a Pakistani/Arabic username so hateful of Egypt? I get a bit curious when I see people like you pop up every once in a while.
some Italian reports said that it will be 20 corvettes ...!!That will be built in Egypt... and it costs 300 millions USD / piece.
With 8 Surface- surface Missiles
16 Virtical launch cells ( Aster 15/30 )
just like tha Qataris ...
I saw that also and if that is the case, imagine all the jobs that will be created in the shipyards LOL! Mesh momkin el bahdala de.
The good part about this is that if they are the equivalent of the current 4 Gowinds, then that would make quite the arsenal wow. And if not and they were referring to the OPV's, even that would be quite substantial to increase the modernization of the fleet and replace a lot of the older ships. So either way, the fact that all of them will be built in Egypt and even if they're boats of either category, it's a win/win InshaAllah.
