No RPG-7 variant has achieved a confirmed kill against any M1 variant in any operational theater. The closest one got is when an RPG-7 hit to its exhaust grill deemed it nonoperational (not killed). The crew survived and were evacuated and then the M1 was taken out by friendly fire (several shots from another Abrams and then a Maverick). The only other incident is when a hit caused an internal fire (although the projectile itself didn't penetrate) which totaled the Abrams, but again the crew survived. Teething problems were later fixed on all M1 variants.
Lets put it this way, the number of Abrams taken out by projectiles of any variant can be counted on your fingers. The only real killer of tanks in Iraq was overkill IED's. The M1's (even the "first generation") are far better than any Soviet tank and far better than anything Algeria has. Any actual tank expert can attest to that. All you have is an upgrade of a really bad tank the T-72.
Wrong, and wrong. Provide one shred of evidence that backs anything you just wrote up. Just one.
Yes, that is a weakness.
Egypt has a total of 35 AH-64D B-II helicopters with 10 more to be delivered including the Longbow Radar. Israel has 42 AH-64A B-I helicopters plus three AH-64D B-II with the Longbow Radars. No one yet, not even the US have the AH-64E B-III. Seriously, you have no idea what you're talking about.
According to who?
The majority of our artillery isn't even used, Just stuck in storage.
One article has influenced your entire view of the Egyptian Armed Forces?
Tell me did this article have any primary research on it?
The mistake you're making is comparing Iraq and Libya with Egypt. The Egyptian military of 1973 could of drummed up Gaddafis forces in 2011.
Dude, I thought you knew what you were talking about, however, you have proved me wrong.
