DCNS et Thales pourraient signer le 18 avril prochain lors de la visite de François Hollande en Égypte, deux contrats d'armement. Le groupe naval pourrait vendre quatre navires de guerre, dont deux corvettes Gowind, tandis que le groupe d'électronique, associé à Airbus, fournirait un satellite de télécoms militaires.

Plus de neuf mois après sa visite en Égypte pour l'inauguration du nouveau canal de Suez, le président de la République François Hollande y retourne le 18 avril prochain. Au menu des discussions entre le Chef de l'État français et le président égyptien Abdel Fattah al-Sissi, de nouveaux contrats d'armement entre la France et l'Égypte. Deux campagnes  sont suffisamment arrivées à maturité pour faire l'objet d'une éventuelle signature à la mi-avril lors de la visite de François Hollande.
DCNS et Thales en pole-position

Le groupe naval DCNS pourrait signer un contrat portant sur la vente de quatre navires de guerre, dont deux nouvelles corvettes Gowind de 2.400 tonnes, le patrouilleur hauturier Adroit (un OPV de la classe Gowind), qui avait été autofinancé par le groupe puis prêté à la Marine nationale, et, enfin, un navire plus petit fourni par le chantier naval Piriou. Soit un contrat estimé entre 500 et 600 millions d'euros.

DCNS, qui a déjà vendu quatre Gowind au Caire, a lancé la fabrication de la première corvette en avril 2015. En revanche, l'armement des quatre premières corvettes achetées par Le Caire en juillet 2014, est toujours en discussions pour un montant estimé entre 300 et 400 millions d'euros (MBDA).

Par ailleurs, Airbus Space Systems et Thales Alenia Space, désigné comme maître d'oeuvre, pourraient également signer un contrat portant sur la vente d'un satellites de télécoms militaires pour un montant estimé à environ 600 millions d'euros.

Initialement, Paris proposait au Caire deux satellites (un de télécoms et un autre d'observation) mais les Égyptiens ont trouvé la facture trop salée. Les Russes et les sud-Coréens auraient proposé moins cher, assure-t-on à La Tribune.

BPC, FREMM à moyen et long terme?

A plus long terme, le président égyptien Abdel Fattah al-Sissi souhaiterait aussi disposer d'une nouvelle frégate mutlmissions FREMM (DCNS) et de deux autres Bâtiments de projection et de commandement (BPC) de type Mistral (deux stationnés en Méditerranée et deux autres sur la Mer Rouge), explique-t-on à La Tribune. Le Caire, qui a déjà acheté en septembre 2015 à la France deux BPC initialement destinés à la Russie, recevra son premier Mistral au mois de juin. Par ailleurs, le drone Patroller de Safran pourrait également atterrir prochainement en Egypte.

A ce jour, l'Égypte possèdera d'ici à 2020 une flotte de sept navires de fabrication française de premier rang, dont la frégate multimissions (FREMM) "Vive l'Egypte", livrée en juillet 2015. En outre, Le Caire, qui pourrait vendre sa vingtaine de Mirage 2000 à l'Irak, disposera de 24 Rafale, dont six exemplaires ont déjà été livrés. L'option de douze Rafale n'est pas encore à l'ordre du jour, souligne-t-on à La Tribune.

Egypt to get President-S aircraft defence systems

Peter Dunai, Budapest and Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
21 March 2016



The first President-S aircraft defence systems ordered by Egypt will be delivered in weeks, according to Igor Nasenkov, the first deputy director of KRET.

"Deliveries will start literally in the near future, we are talking about weeks," Russian news agencies TASS and Sputnik quoted Nasenkov as saying on 18 March.

KRET announced during the Dubai Air Show in November 2015 that both Algeria and Egypt were interested in acquiring the President-S and a senior company official confirmed during a press conference in January that Egypt had ordered the system.

Developed by KRET's Scientific-Research Institute Ekran division, the President-S is an exportable version of the L370 Vitebsk system that is already fitted to some Russian air force helicopters and transport aircraft.

Egypt, France To Sign Arms Deal Mid-April
Oscar Nkala, Defense News 5:17 p.m. EDT April 6, 2016

GABORONE, Botswana — Egypt and France plan to sign agreements for the purchase of weapons that include fighter aircraft, navy vessels and a military satellite communication system worth €1 billion (US $1.1 billion) during the forthcoming visit of French President Francois Hollande to Cairo, according to French news site La Tribune.

La Tribune reported that the deal, which is expected mid-April, will include the sale of four new navy vessels worth up to €400 million by French naval defense equipment manufacturer DCNS. Two GOWIND corvettes are reported to be part of the upcoming sale.

In terms of the deal, Airbus and Finmeccanica group member Thales Alenia Space will jointly supply the Egyptian defense force with a military satellite communication system worth €600 million.



The deals are expected to be signed during a visit to Egypt by Hollande on April 18. La Tribune said the signing during Hollande's visit to Cairo on April 18 would cap months of negotiations on the military acquisitions between the French and Egyptian governments.

If confirmed, the sale would bring the number of GOWIND corvettes supplied by DCNS to the Egyptian Army to six following the delivery of four variants in 2014. The Egyptian Navy has been negotiating with France for the sale of two military satellite systems for over two years.

The deal has previously been called on and off a couple of times amid reports that Russian and South Korean companies had offered cheaper alternatives to the French system.

Les ex-BPC russes rebaptisés "Gamal Abdel Nasser" et "Anwar Sadat"




Une info qui m'avait échappée... Selon un confrère égyptien, les ex-Sebastopl et Vladivostok vont devenir les "Gamal Abdel Nasser" et "Anwar Sadat", en mémoire des deux présidents. L'information daterait du 1er février. Il n'est jamais trop tard, n'Est-ce pas...

Formation. À l’inverse des Russes qui étaient arrivés à Saint-Nazaire en bateau et en une seule fois, pour se former au maniement des Mistral, les Égyptiens arrivent petit à petit, en avion de ligne. Ils étaient déjà 70 sur place, le 20 mars, le reste du premier équipage étant attendu d'ici la fin du mois de mars, soit 180 personnes au total. Un second équipage suivra dans les prochaines semaines, avec le même nombre de marins. Les premiers officiers sont arrivés début février à Saint-Nazaire.
