The Egyptians have Abrams tanks.
Worse, the US will first give aid to Egypt to enable them to buy the missles; IOW, they will be a free gift.
And Egypt has no possible use for these; neither Sudan nor Libya has a large, competent tank force, nor anything that can’t already be dealt with by the Egyptian air force.
Doesn’t change my point of view on this. Egypt has been in effect under martial law since Sudat was assasinated. Mubarak is the most overrated ‘world leader’ in the Middle East. I think Egypts internal politics are just as unstable as Pakistan’s, we’ve just grown used to living with it.
Which is equipped with an radio frequency kill switch if they ever use them to oppose us or are allies...no doubt...
Yes, the Egyptians have M1 Abrams tanks. But reportedly they lack the advanced armor that makes the Abrams & (British) Chieftain tanks so tough to penetrate.
