Egypt has acquired the “HQ-9B” long-range air defense system from China, retired high-ranking Egyptian military official Samir Farag revealed in an interview with the country’s Sada El-Balad TV that was cited by several reports from July 2 and later one.

Farag did not specify how many batteries were purchased by Egypt, or when exactly the system was shipped to the country.

Last May, The Diplomat reported that Cairo had confirmed purchasing the Chinese air-defense system and speculated Beijing “may use Y-20 aircraft to deliver HQ-9B systems to Egypt, just as it previously transported HQ-22 air defense missile systems to Serbia when the landlocked European country was virtually isolated.”

While both Farag and The Diplomat specify that Egypt received the “HQ-9B” version of the system from China, that version is not for export.

What Caior more likely bought is either the FD-2000B, an export version with a range of 250 kilometers, or the HQ-9P a custom export version developed by the manufacturer, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, especially for Pakistan with a range of 125 kilometers.

All HQ-9 versions are believed to use track-via-missile, or TVM, guidance combining inertial guidance, mid-course uplink, and terminal active radar. The system is also reported to have anti-ballistic missile capabilities, although it is unclear if this is available for all versions.

Export versions of the HQ-9 usually come with a set of radars, the HT-233 target-acquisition radar, Type 120 low-altitude search radar, and Type 305A search radar, which features an active electronically scanned array antenna.

The HQ-9 is a derivative of the Russian S-300. Egypt already operates the export version of the S-300VM, the Antey-2500. Thus, integrating the Chinese system into the country’s air defense network will not likely be difficult.

The purchase of the HQ-9 may be the first step towards wider military cooperation between Egypt and China. Cairo is also said to be interested in purchasing fighter jets from China, namely the Chengdu J-10. The fighter jet can be armed with the PL-15 beyond-visual-range radar-homing air-to-air missile, whose export version has a range of 145 kilometers.

you all refuse to watch the documentaries refuting holocaust lies and idiotically insist i am “wrong” based on your blind faith alone. this site stopped allowing readers to post links as soon as the war started in 2022 in order to preserve russia’s lies.

yes he was a jesuit trained adjutant as his daughter said he lived in absolute terror almost every day of being disposed of himself if he failed to please his handlers. and was quite possibly disposed of in the end too rather like lenins brain haemorrhage and trotsky headache.

auschwitz camp commander rudolf höss only confessed after being tortured by the british. extracting confessions through torture are widely considered unreliable in this day and age.

you don’t confess to crimes against humanity voluntarily knowing it carries the death sentence. unless you’re suicidal. course the bits are masters of the torture chambers centuries of experience.

as i previously said, the holohoax lacks scientific proof. not to mention you refuse to acknowledge video evidence of russian and chinese torture in their prisons today.

photos of air raid and typhus victims is not proof of an extermination program. there are no documents proving the holocaust, there are no decoded enigma proving the holocaust either. all encoded german messages were cracked, not one of them order extermination. even the documents in relation to the wannsee conference do not mention any order for killing, they only mention the relocation of jews eastwards. historians claim these were “euphemisms”.

grow up here’s the facts my people were top nazis its true.they didn’t have much choice after the allies western blockaded food supplies to europe. they had no food for the millions of prisoners they had to feed by red cross law. they had to hide the fact as part of the psychology of war propagandas. but dr mengeleswas real, they did create the cia it was set up headed by hitlers ex chief of security. they do lie they hate the truth

i use the term negro because it’s considered “racist” to use that word in english. even though russians using negry, germans neger, french nègre, and everyone who speaks spanish uses negro.

look it came from the country they named niger aka nigeria nothing racist about it. they’re just manipulative and deceitful and love to create divisions.

you do not understand the barbary and arab slave trades existed or the fact it is unrealistic to attain world peace when conflict has always existed and endemic to nature. your marxist and jewish ideologues always do this.

i hope that dump, putler, and jolani are imprisoned and left to die like they imprisoned and left to die morsi.

egypt doesn’t need any weapons. it is just a vassal of the jooz and the jewsa. it is totally subservient to zio interests. sisi is just a cringing, servile whore. the zio regime uses egyptian air space to carry out its genocide in gaza and he doesn’t even dare utter a word about it. for all the good these missiles will do, he might as well buy some water pistols.
