Egypt is not in a good place geographically. Control of the Suez seems great, but their geography is a curse. Not only because they rely on fresh water that is out of their control, but because their largest cities are on flat, exposed land.The country which has population of almost 120 millions and arable land size of Suisse can't have much of future. When I was a kid , Egypt hasd about 38 to 40 million. Geography in itself is tricky, even in unlikely case of conflict with Israel, it is narrow geography and open empty places, they see them coming. The source of Nile are far.
It is what they as population chose. Weather you have economy and technology or 15 children it is you choice.
The army is a behemoth, too many suppliers also. I guess that they produce few systems from the scratch and a loads of the spare parts but that isn't what really is needed .
It took Ukrainian pilots almost a year to qualify from su27 and Mig 29s to F16. Those pilots received training for free from top Western schools. Imagine all those various planes and systems???
I guess that has been the state policy.
As of Turkiye,all is ok . Some deals have been made and it is as far as it will go. At least good enough to cover some costs. What Egypt is going to do , it is their problem. I don't see them changing any equitation. Good luck and good bye.
I wish them all the best, but for that someone needs to have money, clear and objective vision etc. I am afraid that they don't have that. Despite the numbers of Arabs and the resources, none of them are able to make even single air frame.Egypt is not in a good place geographically.

With good training their military can become potent, but it will need 5 years to make a major stride forwarbud.
Having an Israeli security analyst spill out his trashy statements is just enough to know how most of what is being stated is bullsh**tListen:
esp. interesting is 1:05:49 about the stupidity of our current admin in playing their hands so openly because of domestic politics.
The guy with the glasses is a so called think tank,he talks bs but they way he talks shows his insecurity.Listen:

Not to be taken serious.

He was talking down the threat from Turkiye.No other "race" on earth gets as hyped on defeating Arabs like the jews do. The way jews talk about defeating arab armies you would think the Arabs were some kind of global super power.
