According to French financial newspaper La Tribune, Egypt is negotiating with ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) to get two other MEKO A200 corvettes for an amount of approximately 1 billion euros as an alternative to Gowind corvettes provided by the French rival. \nThe purchase of two MEKO A200 corvettes came as a surprise to much of the community: the French corvettes of Gowind family manufactured and sold by DCNS are sold at a significantly lower price than those of TKMS. On the other hand, Egypt Navy would have asked the Germans to equip their corvettes with the MBDA Aster 30, which is also included on the Gowind corvettes.\nNaval modernisation remains a very high priority despite economic hardships\nEgypt\u2019s naval modernisation remains a high priority despite economic woes. During the last five years, the Egyptian navy has realised corvette procurements which have advanced its capabilities. Its first corvette of Gowind family has successfully completed the phase of open sea trials on March 2017 and one of its most valuable vessels (Submarine type 209\/1400) was acquired on April 19. \nThe over reliance of Egyptian navy on one provider has also been reduced over the few past years. Egyptian naval procurements include among others: 1 Pohang class corvette from South Korea, 2 Osprey class minehunters from USA, 2 submarines type 209\/1400 and 4 Gowind 2500 class corvettes form France.\nTo see more, discover our latest videos on the Egyptian economy :&nbsp;\n\n\n","author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5752,5761,5763,5766,5751,5756,5755,5753,2961,5750,5759,5762],"location":[5600],"class_list":["post-28274","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","tag-business","tag-business-support","tag-decision-makers","tag-direct-broadcasting","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-employment","tag-employment-training","tag-entrepriseslife","tag-institutions","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-egypt"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"Egypt\u2019s naval acquisitions as part of an ambitious navy modernisation program could be a sign of political aspirations.
