“The maneuver (Qadir 2020) emphasizes the strength and readiness of the Armed Forces to protect the capabilities and wealth of the country, as the armed forces’ fighting capabilities have witnessed a remarkable development over the past five years,” the statement read.

Regarding the “Elephant Walk,” David Cenciotti, lead author of The Aviationist explains that “Elephant walk” exercises are conducted quite regularly at airbases all around the world to test the squadrons ability to launch large formations of aircraft at short notice.

Earlier this month, the Egyptian naval forces conducted a large-scale amphibious exercise in the Mediterranean Sea, amid escalating tensions in the region after Turkey’s parliament agreed to send military troops to Libya.

In 2015, Egypt signed a contract with Russia’s Rosoboronexport for 46 MiG-29M/M2 fighters.
