I remember reading some thing about Egyptian Abrams using a French fire control system. Perhaps that is why there is that thing mounted on the gun mount in this photograph. Wikipedia says that tankers preferred the thermal imager used by the late M60A3 on the one used by the Abrams.
Dear Zekas,
I have only embeded ur vids to be more visible:
Videos of the Egyptian Special Forces (AL-Saaeqah)
TPZ-1 in Egypt?
Two of the pictures below seem to show TPZ-1 (or 2)Fuchs wheeled armoured vehicles. Are these in use with Egypt? Or are these vehicles from a visiting force (For example UAE has some TPZ-1s). Or are the pictures taken elsewhere?
some pic looking like more 20 year ago.
Egypt is using the ABC-variant of the Fuchs
Egypt TPZ-1
That Saudi, UAE, Israel, Turkey, Kuwait, USA use the Fuchs (in particular the NBC recce variant) is known, that Egypt has been would be something new.
Can the TPZ-1s on the picture be from any of the other mentioned countries being used in during some exercise in Egypt? (save for Israel of course)
