Who knows how many submarines and ships Egypt ordered under the rearmament program of the Navy? And at whose expense is this banquet?

Have you read the article?

Many, the general program of rearmament 15bn +. The money was given by the Saudis. But now Sisi had a fight with the kingdom - and there would be no more money. Most likely, part of the program will not be executed.

From the main Navy:
flagship - frigate FREMM, already received.
2 Mistral
2 corvette - Gowind 2,500 + 2 is still an option (but with the current relationship with the money holder, most likely there will be no option)
4 DEPL 209 / 1400

They quickly gathered a fleet for themselves. For 10 years.

What can I say - the Germans did well that they built, Egypt did well. what money found.

I was recently in Kiel, I saw a captivating picture: a small neat little factory (TKMS) and a couple of submarines and ships at the pier. a little further - a pier with private yachts and boats. and everything is kind of small. Before that, I always thought that the shipyard is something huge, many kilometers long and 99 cranes and 99 buildings. horseradish there - I like only 2 buildings I saw which are similar to a slipway or assembly shop.

Metal warehouse, press, bending production on any number, and all this is well of very rather big sizes. Maybe what kind of repair plant did you see?

[vlad_vlad]

maybe - I don’t understand anything in the kids ... But there was one finished hangar (slipway?).

I think that the point is that a lot of assemblies "from wheels" from suppliers. I remember earlier in Russia each plant produced everything by itself - from the smithy to plastic. In Germany, the so-called "production depth" is much less. Usually, up to 80% of components are purchased from suppliers, and not produced by the companies themselves

Not not not, the pieces of iron are healthy and complex in shape. Neither the roads nor the train can be taken away.

Yes, on such a submarine you can enter under any periscope into any large river, and not only into the Amazon, but also into the Nile.

Why not ordered from us?

[donavi49]

1) The first two boats were still signed by Mubarak. Again on credit. And there are more politicians than boats.
2) The second pair was signed with Saudi money.

We don’t do such things. Look what a baby.

But they probably shoot in bursts!

A caravan hunter?

[nik-karata]

the first shot is so successful that it seems like a TRAILER is behind the submarine !!!)))

the main weapons of the submarine are 33-mm torpedoes DM2A4 / SeaHake mod 4

Well, this pearl is just a bomb !!!))) we had guns in WWII, and then there are 45 matches! Not an article, but a joke!)))

Project 209 is already 46 years old. So that. That's all I wanted to say.

[muhomor]

It turns out almost the same type of Warsaw. Only the crew is smaller and the range is larger.
