israel has the 4th strongest military in the world. i dont see ,amy arb countries taking the on one on one. and the all at the same time like the usually do israel still has the upper hand b/c america would not have that happen. and that would be the perfect reason for america to invade saudi arabia, iran, and many me oil rich countries.TrangleC said:The Egyptian hardware doesn't sound that bad either. Actually i'm astonished that the USA provided all this to a country that was at war with Israel several times and isn't that far from the brink of a islamistic revolution. But that applies to Saudi Arabia too, i guess.
If the Iran-thing would happen again in one or even both oth that countries, Israel could be in serious trouble this time.

Well true Israel is the strongest Military in the Middle East lets just don’t talk about who will invade who it will put flames in this thread, but just to reply you if there will be a war between Israel and Saudi Arabia than U.S invades Saudi Arabia than the Muslims from the whole world will join this war which will end up as world war 3 (due to the holy sites for Muslims in Saudi Arabia) and GOD know what will happen than but lets just don’t discuses that …..alfred said:israel has the 4th strongest military in the world. i dont see ,amy arb countries taking the on one on one. and the all at the same time like the usually do israel still has the upper hand b/c america would not have that happen. and that would be the perfect reason for america to invade saudi arabia, iran, and many me oil rich countries.
That's true, but historically all regional armed forces are or were dependent on the USSR/Russia or on the US (or arguably in the '50s and '60s on the UK, as Jordan).Waylander said:Another problem of these states is that they are dependent on military supply from the US.
Israel currently produces their own tanks (Merkava) which are some of the best in the world, they also are completely autonomous in terms of small arms, APC/IFV, Artillery, and have the ability to produce their own fighters as shown by the Lavi program.fylr71 said:If you enlarge to the whole Middle East, Turkey will one day become autonomous, but we still aren't there. Israel still relies on the US for a significant part of its arsenal.
