Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces Mohamed Farid on Tuesday (September 18th) observed the joint Egypt-US military exercises, "Bright Star 2018", Egypt’s Ahram Online reported.
Farid conveyed greetings from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Minister of Defense Mohamed Zaki to the forces participating in the drills.
He noted that terrorism has become a dangerous global threat, and praised the success achieved by Egypt’s "Operation Sinai 2018" in combating terrorism and drying up its resources.
The Bright Star 2018 exercises commenced September 8th at Mohamed Naguib Military Base near Alexandria and will conclude Thursday.
Ground, naval and air forces from Egypt, the US, Greece, Jordan, the UK, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Italy and France are taking part in the drills, with 16 other countries present as observers.
Long live Egypt! Long live Egypt! Long live Egypt! Why did the army drop two places -- it was in the 10th ranking and now its 12th? I want the army to be supplied with the most modern systems, like S400 and S600. May God give you victory and protect our children! Bravo [Gibberish]! The son of al-Saeedi al-Sohagi. I'm at the disposal of the Egyptian army.
