Egypt's Secret Plan to Arm Russia with Rockets Revealed in Leaked Intelligence Document.
TL;DR
A leaked top-secret document revealed that Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi planned to provide Russia with tens of thousands of rockets and gunpowder covertly. The US has said there is no proof that Egypt sold the 40,000 rockets to Russia. Egypt has been a longtime US ally, receiving over $1 billion in military aid annually, while also deepening relations with Moscow under El-Sisi's rule. The revelation could have a chilling effect on US-Egypt relations and potentially lead to sanctions if Egypt did indeed covertly supply the weapons to Russia.
