The second day of the inaugural EDEX, the Egyptian Defence & Security Expo, lived well up to our expectations and those of the organisers, writes Bob Morrison.
It had been hoped by us that we would have the opportunity to photograph some indigenous armoured vehicles at the first ever major defence & security expo to be held in the northern half of Africa and we were definitely not disappointed on that score. We also suspected we might spot the odd new European defence products debuting south of the Mediterranean, and here again we were not let down.

The date slot for EDEX 2020 on the international defence expo circuit has already been confirmed – it is early December again – and we fully intend to be there….. insha’Allah, as they say in this part of the world.
