    And what is the interest of the Saudis? Are they friends against Iran-Syria?

      Without Egypt and Turkey, Saudi Arabia will find it difficult to compete with Iran. The SA has a rich army, and Iran has a poor, but serious. Therefore, they are arming Egypt. And the Western countries benefit from such a confrontation. The SA buys mountains of weapons for itself and acquires a lot for its allies. .T. N. The "Anti-Ishil coalition" organized by the SA can easily re-target the Shiite Iran. True, Sisi is a little "odd" in relations with Assad and Putin, but I think this is a controlled process.

        It all started much earlier. If Nasser (President of Egypt 1954-1970) was friends with the USSR and armed himself with owls. weapons. Then Sadat (1970-1981) spread to the West and engaged in "democratization". And the USA, realizing the importance of Egypt in the region, took the place of the USSR. And these deliveries of Rafaley were not without US pressure on the SA. Israel also sits on US handouts (up to $ 3 billion a year free of charge). hi

    Why do they need to protect Saudi weapons? To fight, because they did not know how and did not learn, they would spend the loot on the development of the economy.

    It’s good to be a dependent. Previously, pendants armed for free, and the Wahhabis were happy.

      And even earlier, Hero of the Soviet Union Nasser, who proclaimed that Egypt was embarking on the path of socialist construction, received weapons and a bunch of other nishtyaks from the Union. Even the Aswan Dam broke off as if from heaven. Here is a folk ditty of those years:
      Lives in the sand and eats from the belly
      Half-fascist, half-wester
      Hero of the Soviet Union,
      Gamal Abdel-on-all-Nasser.

      And here is the national poet Vysotsky:

      Losing True Faith -
      It hurts me for our USSR:
      Take the order from Nasser -
      Not suitable for the Order of Nasser!

      You can even cover the floor with a mat,
      Give gifts at random
      Calling Nasser our brother
      But give the Hero - stop it!

      Why is there no gold in the country?
      They gave away, bastards, gave away.
      Better to be given in the war
      And Nasser after forgive us!

      The army of Egypt is part of the Arab coalition. Egypt, Pakistan, Sudan and other poor countries in all matters side with Saudi Arabia.

      This applies to both Yemen and Iran.

Yes, and even a contract for the supply of weapons of 000 lyam, and of course, it has not yet been written about after-sales service. laughing .

      You know, Sergei, he thought about it himself. Aiming and navigation system, the pilots say, the French have excellent, but still the price somehow makes you think. It is clear that I am not an expert, but nevertheless, Rafali is still being bought, and according to Forbes magazine, the French are in second place, after the Americans, in terms of sales. The figures for December last year are true. But all the same they make you think, is everything good with us in the activities of Oboronserv? feel

        You know, don't discount the so-called western friendly lobby. Mattress toppers helped the French in this deal, for image losses, not for the delivery of Mistrals to Russia.
        By the way, after all, the Egyptians bought the Mistral, and the Ka-52 had to be ordered from us.
        P / S / A The sights of the French are really good, their Arabs also put on tanks purchased from us.
