The Egyptian ballistic missile development program started in late 1950s after the construction of Jabal Hamzah ballistic missile test and launch facility to conduct test fires on Al Zafir and Al Kahir SRBMs.[38][39] The RS-120 Tactical Ballistic Missile Program is still in the developmental stage and should be shortly replacing the Frog-7 and supplementing the Sakr 80; by having a range of 120 km, it would be considered as an intermediate system between the battlefield range ballistic missile system and the theater ballistic missile system. Should, however, there be a dramatic change in its political climate and financial resources, Egypt possesses the technological and personnel resources to produce a Scud B/C and Project-T missiles.[40][41][42]

S-300  Russia Long Range Air Defense S-300VM (SA-23) 0 (+12)[61] In December 2014 production of 12 units was completed for a foreign customer. With Egypt the only country which showed interest in procurement of this type of AA it is save to assume that it was built for them, though the Russian official quickly denied it saying that there is no formal contract between the two counties. 12 units would create 3 air defense batteries.
AA Range = 200 km, AA Ceiling = 30 km, Speed = Mach 5, ABM Range = 40 km.[62]
MIM-104 Patriot  United States Long Range Air Defense PAC-3 32 In 1999 Egypt paid 1.3 billion dollars to purchase 32 PAC-3 units after its military review determined that it couldn't defend the country from ballistic missiles with existing AA systems.[63]
AA Range = 45 km, AA Ceiling = 15 km, Speed = Mach 5, ABM Range = 25 km.[64]

MIM-23 Hawk  United States Medium Range Air Defense Phase III 62 On 25 February 2014, Egypt ordered new 186 rocket motors to extend the live of their Hawk batteries.[66] Since there are 3 missiles per launch unit then one can deduce that Egypt plans to maintain 62 launcher systems.
AA Range = 50 km, AA Ceiling = 14 km, Speed = Mach 2.4

Medium Range Air Defense 2M (SA-3) 30[67] Originally Egypt received 200 units from USSR between 1970 and 1972[65] and they were used to great effect during the Yom Kippur War. But with time these units aged to the point that they were no longer reliable. So in 2006 Egypt decided to upgrade 30 of its of last surviving S-125 Neva units to the Pechora-2M standard.
AA Range = 35 km, AA Ceiling = 18 km, Speed = Mach 3.1
Kub  Soviet Union Medium Range Air Defense SA-6 56[68] Purchased from the Soviet Union after the disastrous 6 Day War and was used to great effect in the Yom Kippur War virtually denying the entire air space of Egypt to Israel. Since then, however, the system has aged and is likely in storage.
AA Range = 24 km, AA Ceiling = 14 km, Speed = Mach 2.8
