The second Mistral from France arrives at the Egyptian Navy base in Alexandria

34
Information Agency TASS Citing Egyptian sources, reports the arrival of a second Mistral-type helicopter carrier to Egypt. We are talking about a military ship, which was built by order of the Russian Ministry of Defense at the French shipyard Saint-Nazaire, but was not included in the Russian Navy due to the sanctions supported on Paris by Russia. Official Cairo decided to purchase Mistrals built for Russia.

The helicopter carrier who arrived in Egypt, previously received the name of one of the presidents of the country - "Anwar Sadat" (NS Anwar Sadat 1020). The helicopter carrier came out of Saint-Nazaire on September 21. At the same time he managed to take part in the joint with France naval exercises "Cleopatra-2".



The Mistral-type warship NS Anwar Sadat 1020 is assigned to the Egyptian naval base in Alexandria. This is the base of Ras al-Tin.



Today both helicopters handed over to Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat, will take part in events to mark the 43 anniversary of the beginning of the Arab-Israeli war (October 6 on 1973), also known as the Doomsday War. This war in Egypt is considered victorious for themselves, although Israel has the opposite opinion.

Russia and Egypt are actively consulting on equipping the Egyptian Mistral with Russian equipment and wing. In particular, we are talking about Egypt’s readiness to sign a contract for the supply of Ka-52K helicopters from Russia (deck version of the Alligator), as well as communications equipment.

      Saudis bought it, as part of helping the Egyptian fleet! They sincerely hope that in which case, the Egyptians will stand up for their interests. The Egyptians - well done, competently lit the Saudis! good

    Shameful spot of our MO. Most interestingly, they were so needed that they did not receive, others did not order, they did not begin to build their own. Although, I am still inclined that these ships were planned to be used in the upcoming operation in Syria. At least I want to believe in the foresight and prudence of our Defense Ministry and the President.

        Yes, the denouement is like a benevolent fate that corrected a mistake. But it was an accident. Zakoperschiki is still at work, only a few were slightly injured.

        I agree. Received money from the French, now
        hold consultations on equipping Egyptian Mistral with Russian equipment and air wing

        and this is also money and work for Russian citizens.

      Everyone would have had no time even now to now. This is missing everything, the energy is tighter. Project preparation. Preparation of the construction site. Purchase of necessary equipment, etc.

      Now it would be very useful - in the form of weapons transport. He, like all BDKs on the route at once for an 1 flight, will carry + there will still be reserves - for example, for transferring all types of helicopters (even Mi-26) inseparable - on the flight deck.

      On the other hand, the Navy turned out to be banally unprepared for the supply operation, it was a great success that they managed to buy relatively fast-moving vehicles (although they regularly go home in tow directly from the SPM for accidents).


      And this has nothing to do with Mistral. Moreover, with the start of the company, it would be possible to place orders for similar projects in Sormovo and Okskaya, such as the Volgo-Don max, with improvements to the holds for equipment and crane. They transmit just one year (9-11 months from the signing of the contract).

      In this deal, Russia received MUCH MORE THAN I WANTED. I got technology and got rid of unnecessary trash. That would not be like in a joke:
      Hello, Serge

      Mom of 33-year-old Ilya writes to you. After your song “Black Boomer”, all the equipment and money disappeared in our house, and my son got a black BMW.

      Could you write the song Brains?

    For a long time the Egyptians were weaned from Russian tourists. And then special tourists came to them: in a new form, yes by parachute from the sky, and with equipment ... Joint Russian-Egyptian anti-terrorist exercises begin in this hot country.

    At first glance, there is nothing special. Everyone suffers from terrorism, and the exchange of experience and the development of cooperation are urgently needed by the armies of the two countries. Especially since a war is going on at some 600 kilometers away.

    Take a deeper look. Yesterday it was announced the deployment of the S-300 in Syria. Then several units of the Russian paratroopers fully armed and with equipment landed in friendly Egypt. And all this against the background of hourly worsening relations between the Russian Federation and the West.

    The exercises were announced back in August, but it was a question of the number of companies, and the world situation was not so tense. And at the moment, it is known about several IL-76 sides involved in the transfer of troops, while the actual composition of the group is not specified.

    During the exercises, the paratroopers will test in real conditions a new form, specially designed for the hot Syrian, sorry, desert Arabian climate.

    news
    Question: what can prevent the gallant paratroopers from helping, say, the Syrians who are fighting in the environment in Deir ez-Zaur? Or, for example, appear suddenly in Aleppo, striking the rear of the militants? Saddle the road of Castello, which is unknown, under whose control is it?

    Only Coalition aircraft that accidentally confused IL-76 with Ju-52 can interfere. Well, the stars on the planes are very much like a swastika. So, is it by chance that the S-300 battery turned around in Tartus?

    Now ISIS fighters (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) can be advised to stock up on Vaseline. For if an order comes from Moscow, the paratroopers will go to the militants through the anus (in this case, Egypt), which will upset them very much. Well, patrons from overseas too.

      It seems to me that this step is a good prelude to answering the news, where the Turks train their fighters, dress them in someone else's uniform to help Nusra get out of Aleppo. If the Turks strike and try to unleash Aleppo, our winged infantry will throw a night march, then no one will seem to be there. And the Turks and Nusram.

    Mistrals were needed to cover the Nicaraguan Canal, but the Amers prevented them. Now the landing party will hang off the coast of Egypt almost like an ice hole.

    "The helicopter carrier, who arrived in Egypt, previously received the name of one of the country's presidents -" Anwar Sadat "
    In the navy they say: "As you name the ship, so it will float." So I don’t want to screw it up, but somehow they didn’t drown this unit, just during the parade "on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the outbreak of the Arab-Israeli war". Very bad historical analogies can be traced request

    No need to rave gentlemen, "Or maybe they weren't needed", we, like kids, are happy with the new tugs, and the modernized MRK, but here you see, two helicopter carriers are not needed, forgive me, it smacks of duplicity, well, or stupidity! Our fleet needed these ships, Oh, how needed ..! Our fleet generally needs any ships .. and preferably the first rank!

    The Egyptians seem to have gathered the Mistrals to scare the Jews. Otherwise, why the hell are such pepelats? What kind of war did the Egyptians gather to sail on them? And the coast is easier to guard from the coast, tea is not okian.

    "if you want to ruin the country, give it a battleship." Guys, it’s not income from the pyramids, this is a very costly item. Of course, I'm a layman in this, but as mentioned, all communications of the mistrals are sharpened for our equipment and weapons. This is probably our art installation and so on?

    Let them say that Russia has not lost anything, but its interests simply wiped its feet ... I would constantly wipe on French interests winked Nothing personal, just business. Deprivation of the French from participation in various projects, preserving the embargo for them ... Well, I would also think of something else feel No, well, I’m not such a fag, it’s just a shame for the state, but you always have to answer for your actions Yes

    It was a failure, but an order from Italians for cars and ship keepers was just a payment for watered support in South Ossetia. No one (! I (great?) Certainly did not count on associate membership in NATO) when talking about expanding it
