what happens when you buy the main hardware and then suddenly realise the rest of the package is out of your budget...

French Mistral-class in front, Egyptian Mistral Anwar al Sadat behind... look closely at its air defence.

I tot in port tugboat will take over to park big2 ship in or out.

surplus cold war stuff..


i wanna see which "unfortunate?" unit will wear the classic soviet helmet

loads fine for me anyone else?

naw, if they do that they will lose future EU contracts, they won't...

Category C aka reservist equipment.

U do know that the ship was tailored with russia air defence equipment and then stripped clean when the deal fell through.

When egyption bought over, it a empty shell.

As stop gap, their existing avenger will be used for short range defence. Eygpt is in talk with russia on rearming the mistal with original equipment again together with attack helicopter.

Even they switch to western system, it not like they can get a RAM or more advance SEA Ram like off a hardware store. All go through congress again as egypt relationship with western is not in their best day after the arab spring accusations

i can see it too just fine

from teh picta u can see the tug tied up forward and the mooring arrangement is stern mooring, which by the way, not even civvies vessels would like to carry out. i can see where the vessel commander fckud up there.

I wonder how long the 'stop gap' will last. Surely trade deals are one of the best ways to secure diplomatic ties?

Probably they will arm it with Sadral SAMs aka naval Mistral - Mistral on a Mistral what attack helis will Egypt operate from it?

ka-52, nothing else!

beggars cant be choosy... rohingya, cambodia, myanmar, laos or east timor would gladly take it...

Not when the accused accuse the guy as the one funding the arab spring. They equate it as working with the two headed snake.

Would be much cheaper to just rearm the original system the russian installed.

In talk for kh-52 but still an open ended question. Probbaly, eygpt is also haggling for a better price else western then.

Egypt Armed Forces.

Reports say cash-strapped UK gov ready to secretly sell warships to South America


The Royal Navy LPDs HMS Bulwark (above) and its sister ship HMS Albion is said to be part of the secret deal

It’s being reported by multiple sources that Brazil and Chile have been given notice of “potential availability” of Royal Navy warships.

Most notably reported by IHS Jane’s Navy International, it has been claimed by the outlet that Brazil and Chile have “quietly been given notice of the potential availability of RN frigates and amphibious ships”.

Janes report that UK officials have “discreetly advised” that some of the frigate fleet in addition to the two Albion class landing platform docks could become available due to budget cuts.

A number of Type 23 frigates plus two amphibious assault ships, the HMS Bulwark and the HMS Albion would be sold to Chile and Brazil under the plans.

But last night sources within the department reacted with fury and dismissed the claims, denying there was any such plan to sell current ships to the South American nations.

The UK Government is currently conducting a security and capability review, which is largely seen as a cuts exercise. Service chiefs have been told to find billions in savings over the next decade to fund an ambitious future modernization programme.

and not just poor, some of them cannot do anything as their family was living near or in the black area, on the assurance that their family to be rescued by the security forces they will turned against and help the security forces.
