What's new

Tunisian Armed Forces ( Pictures & Videos )

The interesting thing about that tweet by Froggy is that the opposite was claimed by a US military official who said that the Egyptian military had refused offers of specialized COIN training by the US to deal specifically with the Sinai situation and instead, have asked for crazy and unrealistic equipment from the US that doesn't even exist.

It's two separate issues. First is Egyptian unwillingness to listen to allies in terms of adopting certain COIN tactics and strategies. That also includes several denied requests for the US (DoD or otherwise) to actually observe what's going on in the Sinai.

The second is delegations from certain arms asking for equipment that doesn't exist (or is still in very early trial phases) over US requests to focus on training for C-IED.

That's kind of an insult if you really think about it.

Multiple security services are still using fraudulent explosive detectors. Even in the Sinai. So I wish you were right on this case. It has cost lives.

And now they're claiming that they might've asked for tactical help but were refused by the US? Why on earth would the US ever refuse such a thing?

That particular issue was right after the coup IIRC during the Obama administration.

Finally!
Hope to see more of this

Speaking of the Americans. Wouldn't be surprised if they had a direct hand in the new equipment. For one most of the stuff is standard for US SOF and it can't be coincidence it appearing just before Bright Star.

Hopefully this can be used for the entirety of Egyptian SOF and not just a couple dozen dudes.

(in McConaughey's voice :lol:)

Let's try to identify this shall we ?


Looks like the reason he thinks it's not an F-5 is because of the tarp they have draped around the cockpit area to protect the avionics from the direct sun and heat, makes it look like it has a different shape. Cool pic, though, next to the Kiowa.
