The Egyptian ballistic missile development program apparently continues, however, primarily as an Air Force sponsored research program rather than a production development program. 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 Tactical Ballistic Missiles and the Theater Ballistic Missile Systems. 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, or possibly Nodong, equivalent missile.
