I never trusted Qatar politically, and for good reason. This isn’t looking after your own interests, no, far from it. This is Qatargate to the finest bitter. I swear I hope sisi answers back to the emir of Qatar. Say it with me folks

One of the government programs and a message from the Egyptian deterrent messages, a leak by the former head of media affairs about some Chinese weapons in service, as if they had recently entered service.
I have a simple story. From 1996, I was designing a warehouse program for a company importing Chinese Gliar parts. The company manager went to the Chinese embassy to obtain a visa. Without planning anything, he entered the Chinese military attaché's office and found pictures and catalogs of Chinese C-801802 missiles and files preparing a presentation for the Egyptian army. He quickly left the office to avoid any problems.
Simply put, what is being announced now about Chinese weapons is outdated Chinese weapons in the Egyptian army, not the latest available. However, it also clarifies many things:
1 - Obtaining Chinese weapons, which are a reverse-engineered version of European or Russian weapons, in compensatory quantities to meet Egyptian demands and develop the level of more modern European and Russian armaments.
Continuing to modernize air defense by developing Chinese systems with complete batteries, in addition to developing the outdated ones, is a natural thing. HT-222/233
Announcement of Egypt's possession of systems The HQ-9B is a natural development. Egypt developed the SA-2/HQ-2 missile systems with China, using the HT-233 radar, which is the radar equivalent of the HQ-9 system. Simply put, with the SA-2 systems out of production, they will be replaced with the HQ-9 and HQ-18 systems. Egypt announced that it had 65 SA-2 missile batteries, but it actually had 100 batteries. Most of the batteries have been retired, leaving less than 16 SA-2 batteries as a reserve. Therefore, Egypt's acquisition of eight S-300VM/V4 batteries is only a small part of the replacement. Things are more complicated than this. For 10 years, Egypt has been searching for anti-ballistic missile systems to establish a network. The Russians offered the S-400 systems, and the Chinese submitted one of their offers. Egypt rejected the THAAD system, even clarifying its options. The Russian systems are subject to a development program, such as organic integration with hybrid SA-17/S300V batteries, or integration. Chinese components and missiles are in Russian batteries, as are Russian missiles in Chinese batteries, to launch systems whose sophistication is unknown. This is similar to the various radar networks, the most important of which are the old, upgraded, and multiple radars with massive numbers.
The C-802 missiles are not the only ones, but they were introduced to replace older systems like the HY-2 and also to complement the coastal defense requirements of the Exocet and Atom batteries. C-705KD missiles were also introduced with Turkish MRTP-33 missile boats and WJ-700 aircraft, which Egypt preferred to acquire in large numbers to carry out missile attacks against targets targeted by a massive enemy naval attack.
Of course, systems like the C-302/C-401 were added to complement the Russian Bastion systems.
The Egyptian military always leaks older systems as a deterrent message, and the American and Israeli sides are fully aware that Egypt possesses the most modern and powerful systems, but they are unable to take more aggressive steps simply because the system is almost complete.
All older weapons, such as the MIG-21, have been replaced by the MIG-29M, which will undergo a revolutionary development program to significantly enhance its capabilities, transforming it from tactical to air superiority, while simultaneously offering multi-mission capabilities and superior armament.
There is ambiguity surrounding the SU-35 fighter, as its analysis is easier and clearer.
The Russians completed the production of 32 SU-35 fighters by February 2022. They then produced three SU-35 fighters in 2022 after South Korea halted the supply of some vital parts.
The Russians then restored their production capacity in 2023, producing 12 aircraft. In 2024, they produced 24 aircraft. In the first three months, they produced six SU-35 aircraft, meaning the Russians produced 45 SU-35 fighters. At the same time, the Russian Air Force requested a batch. 28 SU-35 fighters, so 17 SU-35 fighters remain. Iran has received 6 SU-35 fighters so far, and Algeria has received 4-6 aircraft so far. This means that the Russians have a surplus of SU-35 fighters, in addition to the Egyptian military. Over the past weeks, leaks have emerged, a message that Egypt delivered SU-35 fighters to Iran in exchange for a large military deal between Egypt and Iran, including nuclear technology, missiles, and drones. This is a deterrent message to the Gulf and America, but I do not believe it is true at all. Even the Iranian leaks that it rejected the Egyptian fighters, so the Egyptian deal originally remains unclear on the Algerian side. It was leaked through military forums that the Algerian SU-35 fighters received AESA radars and upgrades to the aircraft, which is also a special version. This indicates that the Egyptian fighters have not been sold to Algeria. Even North Korea is true to request SU-35 fighters, but its primary interest is its new single-engine RD-33 aircraft, and it has requested large numbers of Old SU-27/MIG-29 fighters are being developed to replace large numbers of older fighters as an economic solution and in exchange for weapons and soldiers supplied by North Korea to the Russians. In other words, everything said about Egyptian fighters is pure confusion and ambiguity.
Even the leaked information that Egypt delivered Egyptian SU-35 fighters to Algeria in exchange for Egypt receiving a large batch of Chinese J-16 fighters as a replacement is pure confusion.
Leaks about Chinese weapons, some of which have been in service for more than 30 years, are no exception. Egypt already possesses Chinese fourth- and fifth-generation fighters. Egypt's failure to announce the deal and China's denials are simply in Egypt's favor. Measuring the level of Egyptian military capabilities by the American and Israeli sides is inaccurate, as is Egypt's calm. However, Israel's receipt of more than $30 billion in American arms deals, including fighter jets, ammunition, and a large package of missiles, as well as Israel's doubling of its military budget without any Egyptian response, is a matter of suspicion and doubt. You don't have the money to buy weapons, or there's an economic crisis. The Egyptian army controls half of the economy. The economic crisis is the Egyptian army's competition for the private sector and its attempts to deal dirty with businessmen. Monopolies, cronyism, and corruption are what hinder the development of the Egyptian economy, not the state's inability to develop and grow. Egyptians are escaping, as businessmen, from the grip of the Egyptian army and the ruling regime, and from their economic corruption.

The HQ-17 is an all-weather, low to medium altitude, short-range surface-to-air missile system derived from the Tor-M1..
The HQ-18 is a highly-capable, long range hypersonic air and missile defense system developed by China from the S-300VM but with missiles that carry their own AESA radars..
