US State Department is trying to dissuade Egypt from buying Russian Su-35

71

The United States warned Egypt of the possible consequences of the purchase of Russian Su-35 fighters, Washington and Cairo are working to resolve this issue. This was announced by a senior state department official during a briefing.

According to an American official, the United States warned Egypt of the possible consequences of acquiring Russian military equipment, citing Turkey as an example, which has already lost fifth-generation F-35 fighters and is awaiting the imposition of sanctions. Cairo understands the possible consequences, so the parties are working to resolve this issue.



Egypt, of course, is acutely aware of what happened in Turkey. Egypt, of course, clearly defined its requirements for self-defense (...) Nevertheless, we work with them to satisfy their requirements, (...) if they want to acquire an important Russian defense platform, such as Sukhoi-35 or Su-35. However, they are well aware of what they risk.

- said the representative of the State Department.

He explained that not only did the United States urge Egypt not to buy Russian planes, but other countries made the same request to Cairo. At the same time, the American official did not name these countries, limiting himself to the statement that they exist.

Of course, there are other countries that also turned to Cairo and said: "Please do not cross out all your progress in recent years." So not only the USA is concerned about this (the purchase of Egypt by Su-35). There are other countries that have also approached Cairo with this issue.

- he said.

Earlier, Washington directly threatened to impose sanctions against Cairo for the acquisition of Russian Su-35 fighters. It was later reported that the Pentagon and the State Department wrote a letter to the Egyptian authorities warning that the purchase of Russian Su-35 fighters would inevitably be followed by punishment from the United States.

              Inside is always easier to break apart than outside. In the face of an external threat, as a rule, everyone unites. Internal threats are generally underestimated. Therefore, the collapse of the inside is often more effective. The USA’s authority was undermined by ourselves, we wouldn’t be able to. And they themselves set up many of their allies against themselves. Flag in their hands.

              Israel is too dependent on the states to take such a risk. Plus, if they express a desire to buy at least some kind of weapon from us, they thereby recognize our superiority in armaments, and this is a very powerful blow to their image.

      From 1946 to 2016, the United States provided $ 77,4 billion in foreign aid to Egypt (excluding inflation). This amount includes US military aid to Egypt. Military aid since 1979 has been $ 40 billion.

      To date, the United States provides annual military assistance in the amount of $ 1bn. Well, in the end they will cancel this help. What else can they do?

If the Yankees agree with the French, then Egypt will be in a difficult position. The French, by the way, are also vitally interested in not allowing Russian equipment to enter the Egyptian market or any other - they need to sell their own.

But for some reason, the calls of our ships to the ports of other states have not yet been banned. Or are we still not completely evil? And probably something is not banned. But why ? Yes, because many sneeze on the opinion of the states and they understand this very well. And to introduce prohibitions that no one will fulfill is to sign their own impotence.

                    Yes, and "sneeze" on the opinion of the states, not all. They hold many tightly, for the causal place.

                    When you need a reason and not a reason, you will never be safe. Squeaked, Boeing, etc. So there are only two exits, either to completely submit to the states or to do what we consider necessary, but it will not work to sit on two chairs. We will be afraid of everything - they will always beat us!

                      Alexey. I urge you not to be afraid, but to be cautious and more prudent. To rise to the attack in full growth, under the machine guns, is also not true. So they imposed sanctions on us, in response, our rulers came up with "import substitution". That's just my opinion - we need to revive our industry.

                        You cannot understand that our behavior does not in any way affect the attitude towards us, hence all the inconsistencies. You can hide in a corner, but it will be so "you are to blame for the fact that I want to eat" and that's it ... And caution plays no role at all.

          That's why they powdered everyone's brain with their Harvards, but now the United States has already stopped pretending. The outright gop-stop began with threats, blackmail and raids. A little more and they will begin to beat those who disagree to pay for the "roof".

      Interesting. We are here in Egypt, two regiments of Anteyev-2500 set quiet glanders. A sort of military analogue of S-300 + or S400 -. As you like. The states did not even notice, and on the Su-35 they suddenly bucked.

      Israel and the United States remember how we used our MiG-1972R in 25. Until now, their legs are trembling. I was a participant in those events. It was my job to establish the route of our scout's flight at an altitude of 29000 meters above Israel. The route was exhibited on RSBN-6S ("Rhomb-1K). Three officers knew about the route: the cipher officer, myself and the pilot. The readers of" VO "will have time to read my article in" VO "" Creative business trip ".

        tremble from reconnaissance flight? Perhaps this is why Israeli tanks stood near Cairo, out of fear ...
        But by the way, this is another reason, it’s good that today's Russia reminded that the USSR was the enemy of the United States, and nobody seemed to want to finance the enemies.
