The U.S. administration has approved a $5 billion military deal with Egypt to modernize the country’s defense systems, including upgrading 555 M1A1 Abrams tanks. This major deal, announced in December 2024, strengthens U.S.-Egypt relations and enhances Egypt’s military capabilities. The agreement includes advanced technologies such as the FBCB2 command and control system, improved armor, and Hellfire missiles. Egypt’s military will also benefit from precision-guided munitions and logistical support. This strategic partnership focuses on increasing defense readiness, regional stability, and ensuring interoperability between U.S. and Egyptian forces.
