Interesting gifts (what holiday?). And the name "Youth of Egypt" is not entirely appropriate, "Grandpa" is more suitable.

The South Korean Defense Ministry has officially announced the free transfer of the Egyptian Navy of its Pohang-type corvette Jinju.

This "FREE" does not happen in market relations!
Most likely, it is precisely behind the back of South Korea that the United States and its Pentagon are standing, rearming and mobilizing the South Korean armed forces. The excess Pentagon ships in South Korea will simply be redistributed to their other countries.

The same thoughts, Tatyana. I immediately remembered Winnie the Pooh and his unforgettable:

P-32 also presented.
On 4 on August 2016, at the Egyptian naval base of Ras et Tin in Alexandria, a ceremony was held to transfer to the Egyptian Navy a large missile boat P-32 of the 12421 project from the Russian Navy. As part of the Egyptian fleet, the boat was named Ahmed Fadel (tail number "801"). The ceremony was attended by the Commander of the Leningrad Naval Base of the Russian Navy, Rear Admiral Igor Sechin and the Commander of the Egyptian Navy, Admiral Osama Munir Rabia.

An old rhyme about a gift came to mind
"They gave me a car, and promised to build a garage
And the next morning, from that car
steering wheel, motor, soot and tires-and they took off! !!

And a terribly quiet move !!!!!

in principle, for the border guards, two guns will be fine, a good move of 32 knots, of course, maybe a little smaller old man all the same, but for catching violators it’s quite
