BTR-60 Soviet UnionAmphibious armored personnel carrierBTR-60PB200Originally as small number was bought in June 1967 for evaluation, with a subsequent order for 650 units placed in 1969 and delivered between 1970 and 1973. A number of machines were lost during the Yom Kippur War, and with time others were retired, so that only 200 units are still in operation today.
BTR-152 Soviet UnionArmored personnel carrierBTR-152K175[29]675 units were bought since 1952 from the Soviet Union, but this number shrank quickly due to the losses suffered in the 6 Day War and the Yom Kippur War. By the mid 1980s it was determined that the machines were obsolete for frontline duty and were withdrawn to the Border Patrol. Retirement of these units continued, so that there were only 175 left by 2013, with the remainder to be retired by 2020, probably in favor of RG-32 Scout.

Artillery and missile systems

The Egyptian ballistic missile development program started in the late 1950s after the construction of Jabal Hamzah ballistic missile test and launch facility to conduct test fires on Al Zafir and Al Kahir SRBMs.[39][40] The RS-120 Tactical Ballistic Missile Program is still in the developmental stage and should be shortly replacing the Frog-7 and supplementing the Sakr 80; by having a range of 120 km, it would be considered as an intermediate system between the battlefield range ballistic missile system and the theater ballistic missile system. Should, however, there be a dramatic change in its political climate and financial resources, Egypt possesses the technological and personnel resources to produce a Scud B/C and Project-T missiles.[41][42][43]

The Project-T variant utilized the Scud launcher with a new missile which was developed by Egypt with North Korean assistance, increasing its range from original 300 km to 450 km. More than 90 Project-T missiles were also made while the amount of the Scud-B missiles today is unknown.[44][29][43]
