Egyptian strategic expert Dr. Mohamed Tarek El-Akkari emphasized that October is not just a commemoration for President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, but a guiding principle for state administration. This approach focuses on thorough preparation, diligent work, and assuming responsibility. El-Akkari highlighted Egypt's new cities, such as El-Alamein, the New Administrative Capital, and the extensive road network spanning 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers.
El-Akkari noted that these new developments require a strategic repositioning of the armed forces to secure vital targets, power stations, and oil wells. This poses a significant challenge for both the military and civil police. He stressed that Egypt operates in a high-risk strategic environment. According to El-Akkari, modernization does not render previous military assets obsolete, citing the example of drones not replacing fighter jets.
The strategic expert revealed that Egypt is localizing its armament and integrating various foreign systems, including French, German, Chinese, Russian, and American technologies. El-Akkari cited the example of combining F-16 and Rafale fighter jets on a single software platform within one operations room, highlighting the Egyptian army's unique capabilities.
The discussion took place on the "From Cairo" program, broadcast daily on the Nile News Channel from 9 PM to midnight. The program is part of the Egyptian Radio and Television Union's content, which includes various shows and news programs. The union's media outlets provide extensive coverage of current events and strategic issues.
