Additionally, Egypt fields and maintains 3 infantry brigades, 2 airmobile brigades, and 1
parachute brigade. The U.S. costs for maintaining divisional units of these types range from
$582.5 to $950.58 million per year. A conservative estimate for Egypt to maintain these separate
brigades would be around $800 million, thereby putting the minimum Egyptian defense
expenditures to maintain its heavy and light army forces at $5431.05 million or over twice its
official budget. Again, it needs to be reiterated that these figures are conservative estimates and
that the actual figures could be higher. In this respect, it is worth noting that the U.S. O&M
budget for it's 510,000 troop army is $17.8 billion and that Egypt fields an army over 60 percent
(310,000 troops) the size of that of the United States. This would put Egyptian O & M
expenditures around $10.68 billion. Indeed, given the fact that the Egyptians are integrating
totally new force doctrine and command structures, their training costs should be substantially
higher than U.S. forces. Moreover, the daily logistical costs of doing business i.e. transporting
equipment, fuel, oil, etc..... tend to be more expensive in third-world countries than in the United
States.

It is important to note that these figures do not include the bulk of Egypt's military including: a
550 plane air force; 60 vessel navy; a 100 battalion air defense command; 15 independent artillery
brigades; 1 Scud brigade; 1 FROG-7 brigade; 2 heavy mortar brigades, 7 commando groups, a
military intelligence infrastructure, and it's military R&D and non-conventional weapons
programs. Additionally, the Egyptian government has approximately 20 military arsenals under
the Egyptian Military Factories (EMF), which are managed by the Ministry for Defense and
Military Production/National Organization for Military Production (NOMP). In 1994, Egypt
surpassed the United States to become the second largest arms importer, behind Saudi Arabia, in
the world. Egypt, in a region that leads the world in the import of weapons, is the only Middle
East country to have increased its arms purchases yearly since 1990.

There is little doubt that when the same analysis is applied to the rest of the Egyptian military we
will see that annual Egyptian military expenditures are really 5 to 8 times higher than officially
published figures. This would put actual Egyptian military expenditures at 20 to 35 percent of its
gross national product (GNP).. Historically, only countries engaged in a full-scale war have
devoted such a large percentage of their GNP to defense. Since Egypt is not currently engaged in
a conflict, Israeli strategic planners should be asking themselves for whom is the current,
historically unprecedented, Egyptian military build-up directed towards.

انا ترجمتة ومفهمتوش اوى بس فية كلام مهم يريت حد يترجم الكلام دة من موقع حلو ويلخصة

ده كلام بيتكلم عن الميزانية العسكرية المصرية وبيقول انه الميزانية الحقيقة هي من 5 الى 8 اضعاف المعلنة وبيقول انه الميزانية العسكرية تمثل من 20 الى 35% من اجمالي الناتج القومي

اكبر مستورد للاسلحة الامريكية ده طبيعي انت سنويا بتاخد بمليار و700 مليون دولار اسلحة امريكية من خلال المعونة زائد 300 او 400 مليون من عندك

الميزانيه العسكريه المصريه

سريه

ولكن تقريبا تساوي 1/3 الميزانيه العامه للدوله

كلام مهم و فعلا منغير تفكير الميزانيه العسكريه شديده الضخامه حتى لو مش سريه مينفعش الناس تعرف لانهم هيتخضو من ضخامتها
