Armor
Egypt operates M1A1 Abrams tanks produced under a US co-production arrangement at Tank Factory 200 in Abu Zaabal — Egypt is the only country outside the US to manufacture M1A1 Abrams under license. Egyptian armored crews have operational experience from Sinai operations where armored vehicles have been used in counter-terrorism missions and have been targeted by IEDs and anti-armor weapons. The co-production arrangement gives Egypt significant indigenous maintenance capacity for the M1A1 fleet. Technically demanding role; armor officers and senior NCOs are among the more professionally developed personnel in the Egyptian ground forces.
