Egypt is so cucked for that

If people are wondering about Egypt of all countries, remember that Egypt receives $1.3b in military financing annually from the US, & when Trump stopped all foreign aid right when he took power, only Egypt & Israel were the two countries they exempted from the pause.

As recently as late last year, the US approved a $5b arms deal w/ Egypt for Abrams tanks & Hellfire missiles, & in 2022 the US approved two arms deals worth $5b total for air defense systems, Chinook helicopters, & heavy transport aircraft.

The US & Egypt signed a defense agreement in 2019, but they began an alliance back in the 70s. The Egyptian military is mostly made up of American military equipment:

Since 1978, the United States has provided Egypt with more than $50 billion in military assistance, the US State Department said in April 2022.

A recently compiled list of Egyptian army hardware includes 1,130 M1A1 Abrams tanks, an undisclosed number of Stinger missiles, 3,890 high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs or Humvees), an undisclosed number of mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles, an undisclosed number of multiple launch rocket systems (MLRSs) and 201 M109A5 self-propelled howitzers.
