About 10 days ago, we reported about the implicit threat of the Egyptian Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff towards Israel, who called on the Egyptian army units to be ready to fight at any moment they had to do so.

But we did not think that the security situation in the Sinai region would deteriorate so quickly!

The Americans must intervene (and it seems that they are already doing so in both the diplomatic and military dimensions) or Israel will have to take appropriate precautionary measures so as not to be surprised again like in 1973!!

The area has been the scene of unusual military movements until recently, most notably the flight of American MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance and spy drones along the Egyptian border. 

These aircraft, which take off from the Sigonella base in Italy, not far from Egypt, are considered among the most modern aerial intelligence-gathering systems. 

Their last flight took place along the Libyan border, then continued along the Egyptian coast, getting even closer to the Delta region. Some sources indicate that they continued flying as far as the eastern regions of Egypt, probably towards the Sinai Peninsula, before returning to their base in Italy.

What makes this aircraft so important is its advanced capabilities in the field of reconnaissance and electronic intelligence collection. 

It is an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of collecting critical intelligence information without having to violate Egyptian airspace or even enter territorial waters. 

It has advanced sensors capable of detecting Egyptian radar signals from distances of up to 926 km, allowing it to collect precise information about the nature of air defense systems and their electromagnetic waves. This type of operation helps build what is called a “threat library”, which is later used to determine how to deal with defense systems, whether through electronic jamming or direct attack.

This aircraft is also equipped with a 370 km range synthetic aperture radar, capable of imaging and mapping targets, and allows it to identify land and sea targets with high accuracy.

This type of aircraft has played a key role in the Ukraine-Russia war, performing reconnaissance flights in advance of every Ukrainian military operation, especially in the Crimean region, where it has mapped the locations of warships, air defense systems, and air bases. 

These facts make the movements of American aircraft near the Egyptian coast extremely significant, especially in light of the escalation of regional tensions and recent Egyptian military actions, such as raising the combat readiness level of the Second Army and visits by the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff. in the various branches of the military.

The timing of these actions may also be appropriate to send clear deterrent messages by demonstrating the seriousness of military movements.
