Putting such large fire power in one spot is why a base get over runned.

I have never had a MRAP or IFV on my unit and I can guarantee you that my boys and I will swoop on a unit that large with my armored hilux. Add GLs and RPG.

I can hear someone asking them not to shoot anyhow. Suppressive fire is needed yes but do it with wisdom. Packing several IFV / MRAP meters away from each other is just like a sitting duck.
Lomg time, good to hear from you mate cheesy

The next big development in the Egyptian UAV world would be the adoption and licensed build of the Chinese ASN-209 in 2011.

This is when the Egyptians started taking drones seriously and marked the entry of China as the major supplier of UAVs to the country.

Seriously, am a cameroonian and when i listen to such it irritates me.President Biya(whom i don't really have any esteem for) is a masterpiece when it comes to politics.Gone are the days he took instructions from France. The presidential and the BIR which are the shield of the presidency are both trained and equiped by the israeli, the secret services are trained by the Russians and Israeli, the military is trained by Cameroonians trained by the Russians or Israeli. The equipemts used by the Cameroonian military are from diverse sources. So please don't think france has any leverage on cameroon again.It might still have some stings it can pull but things have changed.
Wow.... so you're a Cameroonian shocked that's interesting.
I respect your opinion a lot but France still has a strong influence in Cameroon and other French speaking states with there military base spread all around these region.
Take it or not? You can't just say there presence means nothing politically/economically and security wise.

BREAKING: Maiduguri Currently Under Boko Haram Attack ....


Gunmen believed to be Boko Haram members Tuesday evening staged an attack on a convoy of travellers near Molai, a village at the outskirts of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

The convoy of travellers was guarded by soldiers, but this did not deter the insurgents.

The gunmen reportedly travelled from Damboa to the outskirts of Maiduguri before they began the attack near Molai village.

Molai is a community known for such frequent attacks.

Residents of the community said the attack started at about 6.30 p.m. when Muslims were about to break their fast. .....

More details later.

LOL so egypt won't recieve help it's muslim brothers such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and others. BIG LIE.Who provides the funds for Egypt to equip it's self like that, SAUDI ARABIA. Without them Egypt would still be flying F-16s and Mirage-2000s. Yes the US provides funds to Israel but know this with or without Us aid, Israel is still a force to reckon with. You can have sophisticated weaponry but if yoy don't have the know how to use it its as useless as not having it. Why has Egypt not been able to deal with insurgency in the Sinai with all those sophisticated weaponry? When you see the training schemes of the Egyptian military, seriously you have the impression it is a mirror image of the soviet military in the 70s.Heavy, Static, with Officers who can't take initiatives and are not flexible. The Egyptian military still functions with soviet doctorine and know that such doctrine isn't valid in this period. I on't say the Israeli Military is the best but lets be sincere, they have the best Officer corps in the region, well trained and drilled, able to adapt to the battlefield, flexibility and above all battled hardened troops..
Why is.the U.S.A and other European players as not been able to defeat terrorism in Afghan and Syria with all there hight tech weaponry and intelligence... huh

In summary, with usa support israel will win while without usa support, egypt will bring her to its kneel. Israel cant fund that kind of war.
But the Americans are big fan of the Egyptians don't forget has well as the Russians.
Russians are trying to sign an agreement with the Egyptians. The Egyptians are creating a safe haven for Russian deployment in the region. The baseline for such a cooperation is already underway, with the Russians signing a deal with Egypt in November 2018 to allow Russian military jets to use its bases and airspace.

Well spoken mate.....
Egypt has acquired a long shopping list of arms over the years, and its amped-up arsenal has elicited more questions than answers among Israeli experts. The purchases — most of which occurred under Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi — indicate an Egypt dedicated to returning to its former glory and declaring to the rest of the region that it is a force to be reckoned with.

“What Egypt has done is try to diversity its suppliers and is in effect going from being a client of American power back to being a great power on its own. It is going back to the days of [former President Gamal Abdel] Nasser [Hussein], who understood non-commitment may be a better solution. Egypt does not want to be beholden to a single supplier. And as such, the country purchased a diverse array of arms from France, China and the United States, as well as Russia.

“Taking all these delicate concerns into account, the upshot is that Israel must maintain basic capacity for mechanized warfare against modern armies. It must not assume the present situation, in which Israel had a crushing material military advantage against its enemies ... will remain the same against other possible adversaries.”

My brother it's one thing to have equipments but its another to know how to use it on the battle field. you also have to take into consideration the soldiers fighting or using the pieces of equipment, their officers in command of those equipments. A clear example is Soudi Arabia.The houtis in yemen are giving them hard times and they have to rely on mercenaries and on their airforce.but can't win a war in the air only, you need soldiers on the ground and we have seen what caliber soudi soldiers are made off grin grin grin grin grin. The Israeli army isn't big in question but my brother but their abilities to wage war is outstanding and they keep learning with foes like hamas and hezbollah.Taking into consideration factors such as Intel collection, Outstanding officers corps who are perfectly drilled, Force multipliers such as the airforce who are top notched in every aspect. in case of a war between Israel and Egypt, I won't say Israel would come out as a clear winner as before because it would be hard but israel would win at the end.

Currently Israel ranks 16th in the (G.F.P 2019) military ratings strength? These translate that Egypt is really investing in its modern military modernization. Can Egypt defeat Israel or will it be a stalemate in the eventuality of another Yom Kippur War.... ...... grin shocked huh
