The United States could enact sanctions on Egypt through the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017 (CAATSA), if Egypt goes ahead with its planned purchase if the Russian built Sukhoi Su-35 superflanker fighter jet.

In an apparent warning to Egypt, US Secretary of state Mike Pompeo said that “We’ve made clear that, if those systems were to be purchased, statute CAATSA would require sanctions on the regime.”

Pompeo also disclosed during a Senate hearing to review his department’s budget on 9 April. “We have received assurances from the Egyptians that they understand that sanctions will be imposed and I am very hopeful that they will decide not to move forward with that acquisition.

The Trump administration is worried about what it called “Cairo’s deepening relationship with Moscow,” explaining that such a move has “alarmed” the US Government – Egypt’s long time strategic ally.

A U.S. senior official told the media outlet, “In terms of the expanding Russian influence in the region, that’s obviously something which we are quite concerned [about]. We don’t see a lot of material benefits to engagements with the Russians. We just would encourage the Egyptians to turn more toward the West, toward the United States.”

Welcome to another exciting episode of "Cutting-Edge Tech" in Military Africa. Today, we're diving into the world of military innovation as we unveil the next frontier: the United States' Hypersonic Missile program.

In the ever-evolving landscape of military technology, the pursuit of superiority and strategic advantage has led nations to explore the frontiers of innovation. Among the latest breakthroughs capturing global attention is the development of hypersonic missiles, with the United States at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology.

The United States has unveiled its first hypersonic missile, the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW). The HCSW is capable of traveling at speeds of Mach 5 or more, making it difficult to intercept.

Hypersonic missiles represent a paradigm shift in military capabilities, combining unparalleled speed and precision to redefine the dynamics of warfare. These missiles fly at speeds exceeding Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound, rendering them nearly invulnerable to existing missile defense systems. The implications of such advancements are monumental, reshaping military strategies and international security dynamics.
