Egypt, in wake of a suspension of U.S. military aid, has turned to Russia for enhanced defense and intelligence cooperation.
Officials said Egypt and Russia have been conducting a high-level military dialogue amid the crisis with the United States.

“Russia has always tried to sell Egypt advanced systems, but this might be more realistic given current circumstances,” an official said.
On Oct. 28, Russian military intelligence chief Gen. Vacheslav Kondrasco arrived in Cairo for what officials said marked an effort to renew a strategic dialogue between the Kremlin and Egypt.
Officials said Kondrasco was discussing Egypt’s military requirements and the prospect of Russian arms sales. Russia was the leading military supplier to Egypt in the 1960s and 1970s.
