Egypt's Secret Plan to Supply Russia with 40,000 Rockets Revealed, Undermining U.S. Foreign Policy
- Leaked intelligence documents indicate Egypt planned to covertly send 40,000 rockets to Russia to replenish its ammunition supply during the war in Ukraine.
- Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi allegedly ordered officials to keep the production and shipment of rockets secret to avoid angering Western allies.
- The transfer of rockets would come as an embarrassment to the Biden administration, which has been pressing allies to deny Russia the arms it needs to continue fighting in Ukraine.
- Russia has reportedly turned to adversaries like North Korea, Iran, and now Egypt to acquire weapons after losing a significant amount of ammunition in Ukraine.
- U.S. President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have recently praised Egypt's stance on the war, unaware of the country's alleged secret plan to aid Russia.
