    Default Egypt ranks 9th in military strength among 138 states: Global Firepower



    CAIRO – 5 February 2020: The Egyptian army have advanced three places and ranked ninth out of 138 in the annual index of Global Firepower, exceeding many advanced armies including that of Turkey, Iran and Israel.

    According to the Power Index of the specialized military ranking website, Egypt holds a rating of 0.1872, Global Firepower reported, as 0.0000 is considered “perfect”. Egypt followed US, Russia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, France and UK in terms of the army’s strength.

    Global Firepower considers 50 individual factors to assess the strength of each country’s army, which are all placed under the sectors of manpower, airpower, land forces, naval forces, natural resources, natural resources, logistics, financials and geography.

    Egypt is ranked 10 out of 138 in the total strength of airpower, and took the 4th place in terms of tanks, and 6th in terms of armored vehicles and rocket projectors, according to the global index. The total assets of the army’s naval forces brings Egypt to the 7th place.

    In 2014, Egypt and France inked a €1 billion arms deal whereas France furnishes four Gowind battleships to the Egyptian Navy. The first corvette was produced in France and delivered in Lorient in September 2017. The other three were to be built in Egypt under a transfer of technology agreement, according to France 24.

    One of those was launched in September 2018 as the first ever Egyptian made warship. The ‘Port Said Corvette’ is manufactured by Alexandria Shipyard Company in cooperation with France’s state-owned shipbuilder Naval Group.

    In 2015, Egypt signed an agreement to buy French weapons worth €5.2 billion, including 24 Rafale combat jets made by Dassault Aviation, a multi-mission naval frigate, and air-to-air missiles.

    In 2016, both countries signed agreements for the purchase of weapons including fighter aircraft, navy vessels and a military satellite communication system worth €1 billion. In the same year, Egypt received two Mistral helicopter carriers as part of this deal.

    In 2011, Egypt had ordered two Type-209/1400 submarines from Germany before ordering two others in 2014. The first two arrived in December 2015 and August 2017, respectively. In May, Commander of Naval Forces Ahmed Khaled received the third in the German city of Kiel.

    Yes but they don't posses high quality tactical balistic missiles that can obliterate entire regions into dust.

    For example, if you have 500.000 highly armed soldiers, planes etc.. what's use of them if you can't defend yourself against Long Range Balistic missiles.

    Only Russia, USA and China are true military powers, others are nothing.

    So? Palestinians live in even worse poverty. A strong army helps them protect tneir natural resources from the likes of Turkey.

    Egypt has become a gas exporting country and currently holds the world record in economic growth.

    Well done Egypt!

    Well, you shouldn't be using the Egyptians for your own political gain really against Turkey and the Turks. Uh, yeah. Gaza is in a state of blockade by Israel, and the importation and exportation of Palestinian goods are restricted by the IDF, so they're not in the same circumstances. If anything really, the UAE for example is more richer and stable than Egypt despite not having the same military capabilities as Egypt. The same can be said about most European countries like Denmark or Czech Republic as well. The US has the largest military budget in the world that puts 9 other countries together, and yet, the country has the worst healthcare system in the developed world. Military strengths and budgets means nothing to the people who are living in poverty.

    No you Palestinians shouldn't be using Greece and Cyprus for your own politican gains. You owe us not the other way round you ungrateful little prick.

    Greece and Cyprus is not using Egypt in any way. If anything Cyprus helped Egypt become an energy hub and enhance her value as an energy producer.

    By your logic Greece and Cyprus should not form any alliances, but isolate herself and become easy pray for Turkey. Well you shouldn't form any alliances with terrorists and countries where they state in their constitution Israel should be wiped from the map. Long live Israel! Our alliance with Israel is here to stay for a very long time, and I don't give a FUCK about your UNGRATEFUL lot!!

    Ungrateful? What exactly did Greece and Cyprus do for the Palestinians? Well, really, it's the Iranians and their allies that are keeping the terrorists at bay that Israel, US and Saudi Arabia continues to support which was acknowledged by Israel itself recently:
    http://www.renegadetribune.com/ex-is...syrian-rebels/

    You want to use the Egyptians against the Turks for your people's selfish interests while most of the Egyptians are suffering from poverty and human rights abuses by the government. It's "prey" not "pray". It's none of our business on the affairs between Greeks and Turks and vice versa since we neither hate these two peoples. It's better for you guys to forge an alliance with the Armenians or something than with us. We're not interested. Well, since when Palestinians were "friends" with Greeks? I mean, we never know each other's existence for any long term relationship to happen. Well, Israel and Turkey are also close allies with one another despite what Erdogan likes to say otherwise. You'd be disappointed to know that the Israeli Jews don't give a flying fuck about Christians since they view you're kind as "Jewish heretics" and all that, so don't hold your hopes on them too much.

    Moron, how exactly is Greece using the Egyptians?

    The Egyptians, (and North Africans, and Jordanians and Syrians, and most Arabs actually) hate Turkey for reasons that have NOTHING to do with Greece.

    Did it escape your dimwitted mind that Turkey has long been supporting the most fundamentalistic, Islamist governments in the Arab world? It dreams of being at the head of some delusional chalifate, and arab countries object to that, because they have recent "Ottoman" memories.

    Is it in the interest of Egypt having Islamists on power, and having terrorirts bomb its gas fields and disrupt its economy?

    In adittion to that Turkey eyes Egypt's gas and energy resourses, to steal them, it has already violated the Cypriot and Egyptian bordering EEZ.

    It is the agression of Turkey and the desire to safeguard their resourses of their people that brought those countries together. And you call that selfist interest, i e the defending of national sovereighty? You are tragic and pathetic.

    Greece is not using Egypt in any way, both countries have historical ties since forever. We have never been on bad terms with Egypt.

    Irrelevant. Egypt and the rest of the Arab world can go against these things without anyone's approval from the western world like the US, Israel and Europe that helped these Islamist groups to get into power in the first place by bombing many countries in the middle east of Israel's behalf. Israel prospers in chaos and division in the region as I have showed you that even the ex-Israeli army chief admitted that the IDF were supporting ISIS and other rebel groups in Syria and Iraq. And besides all that, these Arab countries that you speak of are under the direct proxy control of the US. The local Arab peoples in general have nothing against the Turks who are also are against Erdogan and his party btw. Ask any Turkish member here of their opinion on Erdogan. I don't hate Turks in the slightest.

    agree, I want Pakistan to just maintain minimal deterrence to make any miadventure from india costly . Pakistan cant compete with india in a conventional sustained war it is a simple reality so its useless to dump you devlopment budget in militarization , maintain a got arsenal of small tactical nukes and focus on nation building after 50-100 years I will like Pakistan to enter in these lists like South Korea in a genuine way , when standard of living of masses is improved and society in contributing positively to global arts and sciences.
