Those Harriers wouldn't only be retired but also tired. I cannot see Egypt setting up a maintenance organization for these old birds.
Well, as Forbin pointed out, some of the HArriers used by other nations are not as old...and could easily fly for another decade.

But in truth, I doubt the Egyptians want or need such an asset.

Only if they felt they were going to have to operate their new LHDs with troops on foreign soils that needed that level of support.

The helos would be sufficient in any non-airspace contested area of operation.

The Titan-D 4x4 armoured personnel carrier (APC) is produced by UAE-based company INKAS Vehicles to meet the requirements of worldwide military and law enforcement forces. It is the latest member in the family of Inkas Titan APCs.

The vehicle can be optionally equipped with a range of equipment and systems, including external video cameras, global positioning system (GPS) antenna, day and night long-distance observation camera, ballistic radiator protection, a winch and a battle management system according to customer requirements.

The vehicle can be installed with a one-man open-top turret mounting a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun. It offers all-round protection against small arms fire and IED fragments and allows the gunner to aim and fire the weapons from a protected enclosure shielding from enemy fire.
