Despite the economic difficulties that Egypt is experiencing these days, Egyptian President al-Sisi continues to pressure France to approve the sale of six nuclear-powered submarines.
The deal is valued at about 5 billion dollars and it is not clear how the Egyptian president intends to finance the purchase, perhaps through future gas deliveries.... In any case, according to reports in France, President Macron is not enthusiastic about approving the deal.
The submarines are manufactured by "Naval Group" which is under the control of the French government. These submarines are known for their stealth and "quiet" work.
According to the French, this submarine was capable of launching long-range cruise missiles.
