The purchase of Ka-52K helicopters from Russia signals a large-scale return of Russian military orders to the Egyptian market, Russian military expert Viktor Litovkin tells Sputnik. “We are cutting off a large piece of the Egyptian market from the Americans,” Litovkin says, explaining that Russia will also be supplying Egypt with air defense systems like the S-300 and S-400, the Tor, and the Buk to name a few.
