Osama Ahmed el-Gendy, Commander of the Egyptian Navy said on Friday that Egypt has signed an agreement with Germany in which the former will acquire two German-built Type-209 attack submarines. "Egypt will not allow anyone to enter its territorial waters," said el-Gendy.

He added that during the year 2013, Egypt will further add four US-built missile ships to its navy.
| This is insane. Egypt is using Saudi money to feed their people, and the troops' guns and sandles are held together with duct tape. They have neither the mindset nor the technical skills to maintain the machinery necessary to keep a submarine running, even if they had the surplus funds to buy one. |
| The Israelis have to be snickering. But it's good: the Saudis pay the Germans, Dieter and Hans have honest work, and Achmed and Mustafa at Port Suez get to play with shiny toys, hoping like hell they never have to sail in the danged things. |
