nemesis2u: The European royal house of French origin, overthrown in France by the Revolution. The saying by the chevalier de Panat came in the post-Napoleonic era when they were briefly restored to the throne: "personne n'a su ni rien oublier, ni rien apprendre" (nobody has been able to forget anything, nor to learn anything). And here endeth the lesson, or not... 1 Like |

frumentius:Though Egypt is acquiring a lot of weapons and modernizing it's Armed Forces, it also is acquiring a lot of Debt to Saudi Arabia and to the Gulf States, in return Egypt is not putting billions into well needed and long term infrastructure for it's people. Egypt is not under any scenario going to War with Israel and jeopardize the Billion Dollar aid it receives from the US every Year. The US uses Egypt as a counterweight to Israel to secure a stable Middle East and to the US benefit it has worked. Egypt also knows in any war scenario with Israel just like in 1973, the US will come to Israel's aid regardless of what ever they say in public, this has always been a deterrent to any overly- ambitious Egyptian President (read Morsi). 4 Likes |

MikeCZA: Well, I want him to live so we get the chance to make child labour of him. Think about it, we could make him our dedicated EW or ISTAR platforms or even mount him with some radar and we have our improvised AWACS. If the government fails to utilise him, they'll be terrible parents. |

GreenandGold:Thing is he's going to be expensive compared to aircraft we can acquire somewhere. There are also many competitors around. But many great engineers will come out of this project the only problem is maintaining the skills and improving.

Planes, missiles blah blah Everyone needs to drop what they are doing and get this thing back into the loop. Gimme a low pressure 90mm or a 30mm that can fire telescoping rounds or a 20mm with a recon mast and make it cheaper than the Panhard CRAB Gimme ATGM's or MANPADS or CBRN or recon sensors, and make it cheaper than the Fennec. We will sell them by the boatload over the next 30 years. 4 Likes

Some vehicles like the Mbombe 6 offer built-in off the shelf protection from such attacks. See the protection on the windows then see the space between the actual vehicle and the outer skin, it absorbs the impact.

patches689:bros calm down about the isreali issue. have you studied the Egyptian military lately? yes I agree that egypt performance on previous conflict with isreal was poor but im sure the relevant lessons has been learnt. I also noticed that you south africans always highlights experience over other variables in warfare, variables like weapon platforms, training, allies, economy, terrain e.t. although experience gives a nice advantage but personally I rank weapons systems higher than all others. isreal cannot (emphasis CANNOT) touch egypt in any conflict ever again considering the size of both countries military. I conpared both countries military and I see isreal woefully lacking in major areas, looking at the navy, egypt has . nine frigates, six corvette 45+ fast attack craft 8 submarines 12 landing ships 8 anti submarine ship 23 minesweepers (with such naval force,the mediteranian sea battle will be like a turkey shoot) . while isreal has only three corvette six submarine eight missile boats. looking at the airforce Egypt 50,000 Total (As of 2014) 1,136 aircraft (As of 2016) . while isreal has. 626 aircrafts the army egypt has 780000 troops 3800 assorted tanks (t-72, t-55, m1a1, m60 e.t.c) over 1000 rocket systems over 1000 artillery . while isreal has 133 000 active troops 380 000 reserved troops with about 2180 MERKAVA tanks. Also Note that Egypt has the ONLY (EMPHASIS 'ONLY') Recon satellite in the middle east. If anybody in the region sh!ts egypt can tell you the colour from miles away. . although to be fair I'll say isreal has the best air defence cover in all the M.E due to her multiple well staggered anti air missile systems. the only chance isreal has against egypt is pre-emptive attack which she is good at. and before you lecture me on isreal F-35 please note that not all country seem to agree that its a game changer such country is UK which has pulled out of the program and decides to pursue a naval version of her typhoon jet to put on her new queen elizabeth carrier. UK said that they are not impressed with the trillion dollar piece of scrap metal that THE US is forcing all of them to buy So they aren't buying anymore. |

lionel4power: Hehehe, why do the Americans still deploy recce SF on the ground? Why do they have tons of recce MRAPS and other ground platforms? Do you know that you can't just fly your UAV or recon plane into some areas? There's something called SAMs, smart concealment of bases from infrared detection. The enemy is smart, you need a human soldier on the ground. The scout vehicles also perform other functions like light armour ambushes, fire support and disruption in conventional warfare. 1 Like |

GreenandGold:am sure you have no idea that the americans you mentioned has decommisioned their most prominent recon group (long range surveillance-LRS) and merged them to a combat brigade team like stryker brigade. that means that those guys now has a primary role as fire team. although special forces or special operations forces has recon and scout as a secondary role. . secondly you failed to mention that the US has 'tons' of UAVs and drones too. . also you dont realize that why deep scout mission is unfavourable is due to the fact that you cant count on naval or air support or even artillery indirect fire support. |
