I never did any setting adjustments or changes. I get notifications for some threads but others I don't lol. It's weird. I think it might have to do with the first username I had and then after it was changed to this current one, those threads I participated in with the first username are the ones that don't notify for this new username. Does that make sense? lol

Burkina Faso strengthens its defense capabilities with Egyptian-made armored vehicles (MRAP) of the “Crocodile” model, “Crocodile Bus” armored buses, and “Fahd” armored personnel carriers with its version for ambulance and medical evacuation.
The contract with the Egyptian side also included the delivery of a large number of trucks and multi-purpose vehicles.

Fahds look awesome in that camo scheme. Congrats Burkina Faso. The standard Fahds are perfect for African countries because of their price, their quality is fantastic and their maintenance is relatively easy.
The UN has been buying Fahds since the 90's and they purchased a batch back in 2022.

Over the past years, Egypt has succeeded in breaking into the field of drone manufacturing, as it provided various versions of armed drones, others for reconnaissance and surveillance missions, and others for training missions for air defense crews to work as target drones. The Egyptian army revealed on the sidelines of the activities of the Egypt International Defense Industries Exhibition “EDEX 2023” The latest locally-made guided drone, which bore the name “6 of October,” in commemoration of the glorious October Victory in 1973 AD.
The multi-mission drone "6 October" was entirely designed, developed and manufactured locally. It is considered a medium-altitude long-endurance aircraft (MALE) and is distinguished by its advanced aerodynamic engineering design and is equipped with two engines with a capacity of up to 145 horsepower per engine, with an increased capacity of the primary fuel tank. Compared to other models, it has an upgraded landing gear with autonomous take-off and landing features.
The traditional flight range reaches 240 km, with the possibility of increasing the range by doubling the number of ground guidance and control stations or linking and controlling through satellites, while its ability to remain in the air for a period exceeding 30 hours, while it can fly up to an altitude of 18 thousand feet.
The “6 October” drone can fly at a speed of 260 km/h, with a speed of up to 120 km/h when landing. The length of the drone is 8.9 m, its height is 5 m, and the distance between the wings reaches 18.5 m.
The “6 October” drone is equipped with 13 suspension points to carry warehouses of reconnaissance and surveillance systems, electro-optical and infrared monitoring, and synthetic aperture radars (SAR), which are used to create two- or three-dimensional images and maps of the terrain, in addition to ammunition and additional fuel tanks.
The new Egyptian drone is effective for performing all military tasks, from reconnaissance, gathering information, and monitoring theaters of operations and border areas, all the way to directing and correcting fire for artillery means, and carrying out offensive operations.
Specialized foreign media reported that the Egyptian “6 October” drone had completed the ground testing phase by the end of 2023, and had also completed its first flight successfully at the beginning of this year.

This is really great. I mentioned on the EAF thread that I believe this was present at the Cairo Artillery Division inspection just last week. It's a great start to the offensive armored industry and should open the door to much bigger & better creations.
Egypt unveils new multiple rocket launcher
ByDylan Malyasov
Dec 5, 2023
The Egyptian Ministry of Military Production has debuted its inaugural domestically manufactured multiple-launch rocket system, named Raad 200 or Thunder 200, at the EDEX 2023, an international defense exhibition held in Cairo.
The Raad 200 represents a significant leap in Egypt’s pursuit of military self-reliance, comprising more than 65% locally sourced components. It stands as a testament to the country’s growing indigenous defense capabilities, marking a milestone in its strategic defense initiatives.
Mounted on an armored tracked vehicle, the Raad 200 showcases good mobility capabilities, boasting speeds of up to 45 km/h. This rocket launcher, designed for versatility and firepower, adds a substantial asset to Egypt’s military arsenal, capable of striking targets up to 40 kilometers away.
According to Mohamed Salah El-Din, the Egyptian Minister of Military Production, the development of Raad 200 was a collaborative endeavor among various entities within the ministry. This concerted effort has resulted in the creation of a cutting-edge multiple launch rocket system that aligns with Egypt’s military modernization goals.
The Raad 200, an upgraded iteration of the aging ATS-59G, maintains the crew cabin positioned at the front of the tracked chassis, while the rocket pod launchers are situated at the rear. Its standard configuration involves two pods, each equipped with fifteen 122mm tube launchers arranged in three rows of five.
This state-of-the-art artillery system boasts the capability to launch both guided and unguided 122mm rockets and missiles. Its ammunition range encompasses standard 122mm High Explosive (HE) rocket shells, including the BRE1 122mm HE rocket shells, with an impressive maximum range of 40 kilometers.
The introduction of the Raad 200 signifies Egypt’s commitment to fostering local innovation in defense technology, showcasing its ability to independently develop sophisticated military hardware.

The self-protection system for vehicles from laser-guided weapons consists of an LWR warning device, smoke shells, and a laser-guided weapons dispersal system. Both systems work together, where hostile fire is identified, such as laser-guided missiles. The laser rays are received by the LWR warning devices, and the information is then passed to the dispersal system. Which generates a laser beam with specifications identical to the enemy beam..
