One of the best threads in middle east section. detailed, scientific, beyond my expectations!

@al-Hasani Yet again, I smell that Turks think they are smarter than Arabs. Leave them bro, They will not be happy, unless you fight their war. Dont believe whatever you see in slogans, Just look at actions.

1) ISIS is actually not that much Arabic. A huge proportion are from Chechen and Turkmens. There are Arabs too but they burnt their passports the first day. They killed the men and enslaved the women, chopped the heads and posted it online. They must be punished if not totally removed. 2) KSA...

Well, I concur that Arab governments are not historically the best. 1) Saudi donations make a poitive reputation. ISIS is a shame. 2) However, did Shiites complain under the worst sanctions of the modern world even worse than NK? KSA sold a good amount of oil at good price afterward. 3) If you...

1) If KSA does not do that, they will get the arms from Iran anyway. 2) It is not always a matter of Shia -Sunni. Houthis are devoted to their tribe despite their ties to Iran. Even HZ is devoted to south Lebanon and is using Iran to gain power. 3) US fights for its own benefits and she is...

They started as rebels but ended up as a complete state with their own capital and Gov. systems. ISIS captured Kurdish regions and Houthis are in Sunni lands now. They are state-owners now. They hide (for example in the tunnels) under the heaviest air attacks and carpet bombing as happened in...

It has been long said that no country has won a war without a superior air-force in the last 100 years. Let me bring up two recent contra-examples: 1. ISIS had no air force but captured a huge chunk of land despite Iraqi and allies air force. 2. Houthi in Yemen captured the country with no air...

Iraqi Kurds (Yazidis) were the most enslaved, raped and sold in slave markets. What kind of effective help did they get from their natural friend in the region, other than the first welcome/congratulation letter for independence?

@500 It was mentioned by Israeli think-tanks that "Kurds are their natural fiend in the region". What did Israel do for them other than congratulating their independence and then watching them being slaughtered and enslaved and sold in slave markets?

It is really appalling to see that "so much boasted air-force" doing nothing in practice despite having courageous kurdish worriers on the ground against a group of uneducated thugs. Why is that? Nope. They were bombing ISIS before that.

State of ambiguity; just like Israel and maybe even Iran. After 20 years everyone gets over it and you can leak it out just like what Isael did.

Guys, I know you have read about the recent show of DF3 missiles. What do you think? Can we add KSA to nuclear weapon wielding states or not yet? This is the Debka article published a while ago: Saudi Arabia became the first Middle East nation to publicly exhibit its nuclear-capable...

The famous sharp sword taxi test (not for export):

Chinese prototype for global Hawk (not for export): Honestly, they both look tacky but they work!

The positive point of ANKA is that, Turkey sells its best technology and maybe some tech transfer (probably not). The downside is that it will take a while to complete the project and make it ready for export. This is one of the few pieces of footage released for Chinese UCAV version (pterodactyl):

Yepp, Considering the current market, China is the ONLY option.

This type of ranking has several drawbacks: 1. Older systems are overrated like India's kilos. 2. NK has about 50 midgets and semi-midgets that are not scored at all. 3. Brazil is constructing nuclear subs and soon will join their navy.

I am very interested to see more footage of Chinese drones? @Chinese-Dragon @Type 052D @ChineseTiger1986 @cabatli_53 @Penguin What is your opinion?

This is fantastic new. Yet, I am not sure how the Chinese drone will perform. Unlike American drones, UCAVs of other countries such as China or Iran are not tested in a real battle. I have seen little specifications and footage of the performance of the Chinese UCAVs.
