In Tel Aviv, they received with alarm the information about the large-scale modernization of their tank troops planned by Cairo. Israeli generals did not like the prospect of the Egyptians having 500 Russian T-90MS tanks, Israel Defense writes.
"Egypt wants to buy T-90MS tanks from Russia. Sources from the Israeli Ministry of Defense claim that if this is a real deal, it is a very alarming signal for Tel Aviv - reports the publication.
The publication notes that the Ministry of Defense and Military Industry of Egypt signed a contract with JSC Uralvagonzavod Scientific Industrial Corporation named after F. Dzerzhinsky (UVZ, part of Rostec state corporation) on the assembly of 500 licensed T-90MS tanks. According to the information received from sources in the Russian military-industrial complex, UVZ will build a plant for the assembly of military vehicles in Egypt. At the same time, there will be no complete localization of production in Egypt.
We remind you that recently the Minister of Transport of Egypt, Major General Kamel al-Wazir, announced on his Facebook page that his country had concluded an agreement with the Russians on the organization of the production of 400-500 T-90MS tanks in Egyptian territory.
