      Why are our "Calibers" on Egyptian boats? They are now friendly with Israel, and if you fight with them, you need different weapons.

          A joke to remind you about the repair of the UAZ and the Germans looking at it ... And the conclusion - "That's why we lost the war" ....

      What do you mean? Because of us, the Germans have so much work! They’re nearly half the world supplying high redistribution and not only to the military. Forge of Europe.

        By the way, I work with German equipment .. The quality has fallen dramatically over the past fifteen years .. Everything seems beautiful and durable, but inconvenient to repair, expensive and short-lived. True, there are no comments on electronics, but the mechanisms ....

        The Islamists will come to power again with the support of the United States, as it was quite recently, and this will end "in parallel".
        And after all, they will not repeat their mistakes anymore, the army anti-publicists will be preventively destroyed without fail.

            Well yes,. He did not single-handedly consult with anyone, in violation of established procedures, he advanced supplies of submarines to Egypt.

            A strong Egyptian army is in our favor. She opposes the Islamists. Bibi used to bother the USA to sell the Apaches to Egypt.

      Israel actually ordered its own Dolphin-class boats, taking 209 for the prototype, with extensive modifications and enhanced capabilities.

          Submarines of the "Dolphin" type are also equipped with the "Sub Harpoon" anti-ship missile system (UGM-84).

    Why 209 project and not 212? Cheaper? Strange choice. In this class, our pr 636.3 will be better both in terms of price and other characteristics, since VNEU is not relevant to them.

      This is a large batch (or rather bound) - contract. Moreover, Egypt pays a little, more of its sponsors (Saudi + UAE).

      In particular, Egypt will receive a German SLM air defense system with missiles at 40km in range. Funds Egypt and Saudi Arabia.


      Submarines of the 209 project - funded by Egypt and foreign sponsors (it is unclear who), while under a credit line issued by the German government. At the same time, a submarine base was created (reconstructed) in Alexandria - a complete mincemeat, with a training and training unit.



      Well and a whip - 6 frigates like MEKO200. Close to Algerian face. Drawn by 2,3 billion. This goes to the credit line, which will be repaid by the UAE (the main sponsor of the transaction), Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

    It is somehow difficult for me to forget Doenitz's "pack of wolves" on the eve of May 9th. Indeed, in the Soviet Union they knew about the construction of the submarine and how they acted and KNEW that war was inevitable. And yet the war was a surprise
