Egipto

[Hornblower]

Israel ya se ha quejado por alguna oferta genérica de F-35 que L.M ha lanzado a los países de la región.
No creo que ningún árabe país lo cate hasta dentro de mucho tiempo, lo cual puede favorecer a otros modelos como Rafale, Eurofighter o rusos, al menos entre los que tienen márgen presupuestario para comprar fuera de EEUU....

En todo caso, es lógico que sea un mercado cautivo.......si Rusia, China o Andorrra les regalaran anualmente un cheque militar como hace Mr Marshall, pues serían mercados cautivos suyos.
En Oriente Medio casi todos tiran con la pólvora del Rey, a ver lo que tarda Yemen en recibir su tarjeta de El Corte Inglés.

No se si hacer mucho caso a la nota (hablan de su primer caza, cuando ya le metieron mano en el HA-300, y tb dicen que importan aviones de USA y Rusia, de éstos últimos hace unos 30 años que no compran cazas, a pesar del interés por el MiG-29SMT II)...

Ahora, nos sirve para especular... ¿serán ciertos los rumores de FC-1?

Egypt to manufacture first fighter, drone plane: MENA

English.news.cn 2010-02-13 23:38:06 FeedbackPrintRSS

CAIRO, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- Egypt is set to produce its first fighter and drone "in cooperation with a foreign side", official MENA news agency reported on Saturday.

"Talks and negotiations are underway about a project to produce Egypt's first fighter and drone plane," MENA quoted Lt. General Hamdy Waheba, Chairman of Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI), Egypt's state-owned company specialized in producing civilian goods as well as military products.

The official did not name the foreign party which will take a hand at the process.

"Local production of the aircraft will meet the demand of the Egyptian Armed Forces, as it will be sold at a very competitive price," Waheba added.

The AOI was established in 1975 with the aim of building an advanced technology industrial base.

Egypt is one the major Arab countries dependent on importing military fighters from the United States and Russia.

Lockheed Martin Awarded $213 Million for 20 New F-16C/Ds in Foreign Military Sale

10:01 GMT, March 4, 2010 defpro.com | Yesterday, Lockheed Martin announced that the US government gave the go-ahead for production of 20 new F-16 fighter aircraft to be delivered to the Egypt Air Force. Within a foreign military sale (FMS) contract valued $213 million (€156 million) Lockheed Martin will build 16 F-16C and four F-16D fighter aircraft in the advanced Block 52 configuration which are scheduled to be delivered to Egypt until 2013. All ordered F-16s will be manufactured at the company's Fort Worth facilities in Texas.

In light of this significant contract, John Larson, Vice President Lockheed Martin F-16 programmes, said: “This is a great day for Lockheed Martin and a testament to the enduring partnership and commitment we have made to the government of Egypt. We remain committed to providing our customer with a proven, advanced 4th Generation multirole fighter.”

As defpro.com reported in October 2009, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) informed the US Congress of a possible FMS to Egypt of 24 F-16s, including associated weapons and equipment (see: http://www.defpro.com/news/details/10560/). According to the DSCA, the announced FMS opportunity had an estimated total value of $3.2 billion.

Hace años que se especula con esta posibilidad.

Seria el sustituto perfecto para la flota de MiG-21R y MF que tienen, amén de los F-7B y F-7M, los primeros rondan los 40 años en servicio!!!...

Lo más seguro es que se continuase la cadena tras finalizar la fabricación de los K-8.

Ojo, que los chinos en varias ocasiones tb les han ofrecido los J-10.

El J-10 atrae más que el FC-1, sin duda, pero habrá que conocer los detalles porque es posible que uno sea el producto embalado y a desembalar mientras que otro trae consigo la producción bajo licencia y la diferencia, aparentemente, es abismal para el consumidor.

[roberto_yeager]

Bueno, pues charly, los entendidos chinos hablan de que la tecnología de cabina del FC-1 es superior a la del J-10... mejor interface hombre-maquina al parecer... será menos agil, pero en cuanto a armamento es similar por no decir el mismo.

Ahora eso si, es preferible la fabricación en serie (aunque sea de piezas llegadas de china) que sólo poder hacer cuatro cosas...

¿y si a esos FC1 se les pudieran poner cosas del F16 para que sean compatibles?¿seria posible?

Por poder...

Mira, los franceses andan metidos en un contrato con Pakistán quieren meter a los JF-17 electrónica francesa y armas... entre ellos los misiles Mica de medio alcance.

Todo depende de lo que estés dispuesto a pagar...

Egypt finds massive arms cache in Sinai

By Jack Khoury and Amos Harel

Egyptian security forces uncovered a massive arms cache in central Sinai Peninsula before dawn yesterday, the Egyptian daily Al-Yum a-Saba reported.

No details were given about whether the arms were intended for smuggling into the Gaza Strip or where they were from. However, the Egyptian forces suspect the smugglers to be Sinai Bedouin who found and collected weapons following battles and hoped to sneak them into the Gaza Strip. Advertisement


The Palestinian news agency Maan cited Egyptian security sources saying officers discovered a large arms warehouse containing some 100 anti-aircraft missiles, 45 missile launchers, 40 bombs, an RPG missile and other explosive devices.

The northern Sinai Peninsula cache was reportedly discovered east of Nakhel city, one day after a smaller arms warehouse and two smugglers were detained.

Intelligence on the first find was allegedly gathered from the interrogation of 12 children who fled Gaza via the tunnels earlier in the week, Maan said.

The commander of Egypt's security forces in the Sinai Peninsula, General Mohammed Najib, reportedly received intelligence that suspected arms smugglers had succeeded in stashing their weapons in the area.

Security forces and sappers have cleared the ammunition from the storage sites, many of them places that have served in the past as battle zones.

Experts told police the explosives, mainly TNT, were extracted from other weapons, likely left over from wars in the 1980s and earlier, Ma'an said.

During the same operation, Egyptian police said three tunnels were shut down, all leading into the Salah Eddin area of Rafah. In recent months the smuggling into the Gaza Strip has been somewhat reduced, possibly due to Egypt's cracking down on smugglers in the Sinai desert and Israel's battle against the smuggling, Israeli sources said.

Singapore's VT Halter Lays Egyptian Keel
By wendell minnick
Published: 8 Apr 2010 10:46 Print | EmailTAIPEI - Singapore-owned VT Halter Marine laid the keel for the first of four Egyptian Navy stealthy Fast Missile Craft (FMC) vessels during a ceremony April 7 at a shipbuilding facility in Pascagoula, Miss.

The $807 million contract will provide the Egyptian Navy with four FMCs designed to perform coastal patrol, surveillance, interdiction, surface strike and naval battle group support. The U.S. Navy is procuring the ships for Egypt.

VT Halter, a subsidiary of ST Engineering, finalized the contractual portion for the fourth vessel in March for $165 million. The first FMC is scheduled for delivery in mid-2012 with final delivery of the last vessel in 2013, an ST Engineering source said.

"They were modeled after the Vospar Hull," the source said, and are "750 metric tons and 64 meters in length."

Weapons include a 76mm cannon forward and a 20mm Phalanx close-in weapons system aft.

"The vessels will also incorporate numerous combat system assets and electronic sensors, equipping the vessels with capabilities in anti-aircraft, anti-surface and electronic warfare," said a statement released by ST Engineering.

"The U.S. Navy's procurement of these ships for our Egyptian partners represents a commitment to continued cooperation between the United States and Egypt," said U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Bill Landay, program executive officer for ships. Vice Adm. Mohab Mameesh represented the Egyptian Navy at the ceremony.

VT Halter Marine builds a variety of military and commercial vessels. In 2009, the company won an $87 million contract to build an enhanced version of a T-AGS 60-class oceanographic survey ship for the U.S. Navy. In 2006, the company won a $199 million contract for the design and construction of a T-AGM missile range instrumentation ship for the U.S. Navy.

Egypt to get more Apaches



Boeing has been awarded an advance contract for ten Apache AH-64Ds.


May 10: Boeing has been awarded a $22 million (€17 million) contract for advance procurement items for ten Apache AH-64D Block II helicopters destined for the Egyptian Air Force by the US Army Contracting Command.

On May 22, 2009 the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of the possible sale of 12 additional AH-64D Apaches to Egypt plus associated spares and munitions at an estimated value of $820 million (€635 million).

Egypt currently operates 35 AH-64D Apaches with 51 and 52 Squadrons of the Arab Republic of Egypt Air Force, based at Az Zaqaziq Air Base.

Parece que la crisis no afecta a todos por igual...

Egipto se beneficia muchisimo del programa de ventas de armas a paises amigos de USA-Foreign Military Sales (FMS) de la mano de la Agencia para la cooperacion en la Defensa(D.S.C.A.).Es tanto lo que se lleva de ayuda con Jordania,como lo que recibe Israel en si mismo(La ayuda militar en equipos a Israel,es totalmente equiparable a lo que reciben Egipto y Jordania juntas,cifra por lo tanto nada despreciable)
Creo que esta frase es bastante clarificatoria sobre el tema de la ayuda militar americana a Egipto

U.S. military aid to Egypt totals over $1.3 billion annually. In addition, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided over $28 billion in economic and development assistance to Egypt since 1975
