The Egyptian Army is the largest service branch within the Egyptian military establishment. It is estimated to number around 340,000, plus around 375,000 reservists for a total of 655-715,000.^[1]

The modern Egyptian army was formed in the 1830s by Muhammad Ali of Egypt. (See Military history of Ancient Egypt for the military arrangements during antiquity.) He sought to split Egypt away from the Ottoman Empire, and to do this he bought in European weapons and expertise and built an army that defeated the Sultan and seized control over Egypt, Syria, and parts of Arabia.^[2] The Egyptian Army was involved in the following wars during the Mohamad Ali Dynasty:

But the Europeans intervened on the Sultan's behalf, and following their intercession the Egyptian army languished until Britain took control of Egypt in the 1882 Anglo-Egyptian War.

Farouk I of Egypt inspects troops, early 1950s

In 1946, the British officers were ousted and Egyptians took full control.^[3] The Free Officers Movement of the Army, masterminded by Nasser seized power from King Farouk of Egypt in the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. During the Cold War, the army actively fought in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the 1956 Suez Crisis, the North Yemen Civil War from 1962 to 1967, the 1967 Six Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and the 1977 Libyan–Egyptian War, though Egypt lost the majority of them, except the Suez Crisis and the Libyan-Egyptian War.

Within three months of sending troops to Yemen in 1962, Nasser realized that this would require a larger commitment than anticipated. By early 1963, he would begin a four-year quest to extricate Egyptian forces from Yemen, using an unsuccessful face-saving mechanism, only to find himself committing more troops. A little less than 5,000 troops were sent in October 1962. Two months later, Egypt had 15,000 regular troops deployed. By late 1963, the number was increased to 36,000; and in late 1964, the number rose to 50,000 Egyptian troops in Yemen. Late 1965 represented the high-water mark of Egyptian troop commitment in Yemen at 55,000 troops, which were broken into 13 infantry regiments of one artillery division, one tank division and several Special Forces as well as paratroop regiments. All the Egyptian field commanders complained of a total lack of topographical maps causing a real problem in the first months of the war.

It has been argued that only the relatively good performance of the Egyptian Army in the 1973 war, especially in Operation Badr and in the Battle of Suez, which allowed the Egyptians to claim a level of victory and take part in the 1977 Camp David Accords without losing face.

Since the 1980s the army has built closer and closer ties with the United States, as evidenced in the bi-annual Operation Bright Star exercises. This cooperation eased integration of the Egyptian Army into the Gulf War coalition of 1990-91, during which the Egyptian II Corps under Maj. Gen. Salah Mohamed Attia Halaby, with 3rd Mechanised Division and 4th Armoured Division, fought as part of the Arab Joint Forces Command North.^[4]

[edit] Weapons inventory

Main article: Modern equipment of the Egyptian Army

Egypt's varied army weapons inventory complicates logistical support for the army. National policy since the 1970s has included the creation of a domestic arms industry (including the Arab Organization for Industrialization) capable of indigenous maintenance and upgrades to existing equipment, with the ultimate aim of Egyptian production of major ground systems.^[7] This target was finally met with the commencement of M-1 Abrams production in 1992.^[8] (Egypt has received permission to build an M-1 factory in 1984.) Prior to this, large acquisitions had included nearly 700 M-60A1 main battle tanks from the US from March 1990, as well as nearly 500 Hellfire anti-tank guided missiles.

Small arms include former Soviet and Western models, including the M-16, supported by a variety of heavier weapons including mostly Western anti-tank guided missiles. Former Soviet main battle tanks have been extensively upgraded.

Egyptian M60A3 during Operation Desert Storm.
- M60A3 tanks in Egyptian service were upgraded as follows:
- 1st Upgrade: More powerful diesel engine of 1,080 hp (810 kW) output, upgraded fire control & ballistics computers, infrared devices, modern laser range-finders, and added armor including reactive armor & better suspension.
- 2nd Upgrade: is scheduled between 2009 and 2012 for about 1000 tanks out of the current fleet of 1700, to replace the current turret with the M1A1 turret with a major uparmoring of the chassis and replace the transmission and suspension systems with a better one to suit the added weight of the tank. Armor plating will be covering the front, back and the side skirts (With the cooperation of KADDB ^[9]. A German 1,500 hp (1,100 kW) diesel engine will be replacing the current one, and the main armament will be the 120 mm smooth bore found on the M1A1. This will eventually increase the weight of the tank to 65 tons.
3) T-62 MBT (45 tons): 390 out of over 650 remaining from the 1980's.
- 1st Upgrade: RO-115 Mark I: developed in early 1980s. While retaining the Soviet 115 mm gun, more powerful ammunition allows engaging a target at greater range. Some main guns were replaced by the Royal Ordnance L7 105 mm gun as offered by the Austrian firm NORICUM (See Austria section for details). Other modifications included a British diesel engine developing 750 hp (559 kW), 2-plane stabilizer, ballistic computer, laser rangefinder in an armoured box over the main armament, a cluster of six smoke grenade launchers on the right hand side of the turret, a fire control system from BMP-3 IFV and additional armor including reactive armor. The upgrades resulted in an increase of weight to 43 tonnes.[12][1][2]
- 2nd Upgrade: T-62E Mark II: Mid 1990s Egyptian refurbishment and modernization program. Fitting the tanks with a license built German MTU engine developing 880 hp (656 kW). The tanks are armed with a license built 105 mm M68 tank gun, an Italian fire control system with ballistics computer, infrared vision device, laser rangefinder, gun stabilizer, additional armor including reactive armour, armored side skirts, modernized suspension and six smoke grenade launchers on each side of the turret. It also has upgraded NBC protection system. T-62E Mark II also carries two Egyptian-made 2-round anti-tank missile launcher or two 2-round launchers for 80 mm D-3000 smoke rockets on an encroachment extension or a box-type launcher holding two Sakr smoke missiles on each side of the turret.[11].
- 3rd Upgrade: RO-120 Mark III: T-62 main battle tank upgrade developed in 2004. It arms the tank with the 120 mm M-393 tank gun developed by FSUE. The gun is 5.30 m long and weighs 2.6 tonnes. The gun can be elevated or depressed between −7° and +15°; a new license built German MTU engine developing 890 hp (664 kW), additional armor including reactive armor and armored side skirts. The upgrades resulted in an increase of weight to 46.5 tonnes. This upgrading was done by the end of 2008.
4) T-55 MBT (44 tons): Out of over 1,650 remaining in 1980s.
- 1st Upgrade: T-55E Mark 0 ("E" stands for Egyptian variant): fitted with a new Russian engine developing 580 hp. It came in two variants:
  - T-55E Mark 0 fitted with a German AEG infrared/white searchlight on the left hand side of the main armament and a Yugoslav "Iskra" laser rangefinder.[17][13]
  - T-55E Mark 0 fitted with DShK 1938/46 antiaircraft heavy machine gun and German AEG searchlight.
- 2nd Upgrade: T-55E MK I ("E" stands for Egyptian variant): fitted with a more powerful engine developing 650 hp, new fire control system (which includes a ballistic computer), searchlight, laser rangefinders and appliqué armour. All those additions resulted in a weight increas to 41 tons. It retains the original 100 mm tank gun but the performance and ammunition were improved.
- 3rd Upgrade: T-55E MK II ("E" stands for Egyptian variant): Refurbished and modernized T-55 in the mid 1990s. Fitted with a German engine developing 880 hp, M68 105 mm tank gun, modern Italian fire control system (which includes an Italian ballistic computer), infrared device, laser rangefinder, stabilization system, modernized suspension, six smoke grenade launchers on each side of the turret, NBC protection system, appliqué armor and armored side skirts. All those additions resulted in a weight increase to 44 tons. Conversions completed by the end of 2008

5) Ramses II MBT (48 tons): Late in 1989, Egypt signed a technical assistance agreement with TCM to support the continued Egyptian testing of the Ramses II, with testing commencing in the summer of 1990. The tank finally entered production/conversion in 2004-2005 with 260 units so far modified from the stock of the T-54 available in the Egyptian Army arsenal. The upgrades and modifications resulted in an increase in the weight of the tank to 48 tons.

Al Badr 2000 is an enhanced Scud C Short Range Ballistic Missiles (Range: 1,200-1,500 km) (24 units/6 launchers)[13] [14](Not to be confused with the original Badr-2000 project with Argentina and Iraq [15] and the Condor-2 Project that was also terminated [16])

Project-T is a Theater Ballistic Missile (Range: 450 km) (90 units/18 launchers)(With North Korean assistance)[18]

[edit] Tactical ballistic missiles

SS-1C 'Scud-B' Tactical Ballistic Missiles (Range: 300 km) (96 units/24 launchers)(locally made)[19]

[edit] Long range battlefield rockets

Sakr-80 Long range Battlefield Rockets (Range: 80 km) (360 units/60 launchers [2 missiles per launchers])(Indegenious design) [20] [21]
FROG-7 Long range Battlefield Rockets (Range: 70 km) (288 units/48 launchers)(upgraded)(under licensed production) [22]

The Egyptian ballistic missile development program apparently continues [23]. The RS-120 Tactical Ballistic Missile Program is still in the developmental stage and should be shortly replacing the Frog-7 and supplementing the Sakr 80; by having a range of 120 km, it would be considered as an intermediate system between the Theater Ballistic Missile Systems and the Long range battfield rockets. Should, however, there be a dramatic change in its political climate and financial resources, Egypt possesses the technological and personnel resources to produce a Scud B/C, or possibly Nodong, equivalent missile.
