The Egyptian army tested the Russian AK-15 rifle in order to produce it locally and compete with an upgraded version of the Egyptian Maadi rifle, which the army preferred because it was more reliable than the Russian AK-15 rifle.

The guided munitions display at EDEX-23 was postponed to EDEX-25

130 AT-59G 122mm missile launchers will be replaced
The Egyptian version, RAAD-200, was produced for marketing to African countries as a light and cheap weapon

Perhaps there is a similarity in the parts of the SINA-200 armored vehicle with the RAAD-200 .
This suggests the engine's capacity is 385 hp instead of 360 as previously announced

The Indian pavilion at EDEX-2023 is considered the largest hall in the exhibition for new information regarding the LCA fighter

South Korea presented a miserable radar ESR-500A. When discussing it, the Korean side explained that its real range is 80 kilometers, and its capabilities are very limited.

Exhibitors at the Chinese pavilion confirmed that Egypt possesses the AR-500CJ drone

Egyptian armored vehicle FAHD-300
Its problems remain the same, the modest armor. I do not understand their attempt to maintain it with insufficient armor, as if it is a strategic goal to ensure that it is not marketed internationally. The same thing is a redesign to reach a higher efficiency for the platform. At the EDEX-2023 exhibition, a version equipped with a 57 mm missile launcher carrying 24 missiles appeared and was also equipped. To confront drones, whether with positioned electronic warfare systems and a half-inch gun platform, to deal with them using the two methods: ACTIVE/PASSIVE.
An attempt is being made to produce a command version and an ambulance version, 16 of which were sold to the United Nations in Africa. France financed the sale of the armored vehicle to one of the African countries because the Egyptian armored vehicle is cheap and also a type of OFFSET as a result of the huge Egyptian arms purchases from France.



The Egyptian exhibitors at the exhibition also did not hide that good money is not being spent on research and development. The same applies to why the Egyptian production of C radars is modest. The reason is basically the limited budget. The Egyptian two-dimensional radars are nothing but a redevelopment and production of the American TPS-63 radar, but rather a complete redesign of it and the use of a plate. One electronic instead of 16 with a new name ESR-32B They are promoting this radar by saying that its prices are very low, 25% of the prices of similar European radars, and our response to them was that these radars have modest capabilities, and therefore you will not find a market for them except the Egyptian Air Defense, which uses part of them within its huge network.

More Info would be appreciated

Just 500 TR modules, very small radar it seems.

I visited the Indian part of the EDEX-2023 exhibition
It is considered one of the largest exhibitions there

The Indian side regarding LCA deals
ARJUN TANK
Netra AEW&C
And a series of Indian missile displays
Their comments were that the contracts are governmental and that no deal has been completed, and Egypt has not settled any deal, whether with South Korea or China as well.
The Chinese only announced outside the exhibition that they had won a deal for Egypt to obtain 1,000 PL-15E missiles, although it was not announced that Egypt had obtained the J-10CE plane.
China offered the L-15 plane, just as South Korea offered the FA-50, but no party was declared a winner. Perhaps the current political situation in the Middle East is what prevents even announcing the completion of any deals.

India and China have equal chances in early warning aircraft
