The AL TARIQ bombs are a set of un-guided mk81, mk82, mk83 and mk84 bombs with a guidance system installed and it comes in 3 versions
-Al taqriq-s with a range of 40kms and a guidance system that weighs 100kgs of flippers and navigation systems
-Al tariq-LR with a range of 120kms and a guidance system that weighs 156kgs and is launched from an altitude of 12km
-Al tariq-ER with a range of 200kms installed with a rocket booster to reach its needed range
All the bombs are highly accurate with a CEP of just 3m ,Its unknown if its just procurement of the systems or if its made locally under license but if its the latter it would benefit the airforce greatly as we operate a large number of unguided MK bombs that we even integrated mk82 bombs on our rafales, the airforce should have no problems integrating the bombs on all our jets including the russian ones, it also benefits that they are much cheaper to make and produce that other counterparts like American jdams or french hammer bombs which egypt also operates both of the mentioned bombs https://www.reddit.com/r/Egypt/comments/oeiyqe/the_reveal_of_emirati_altariq_guided_bombs_on/ https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/al-tariq-details-enhanced-block-2-pgm-system.705749/
