Operation 'Decisive Storm' | Saudi lead coalition operations in Yemen - Updates & Discussions.

[azzo]

No need, realistically speaking, UAE has a more advanced army than both Iran and Iraq. But I doubt that the "4 resistance countries alliance" is good enough to fight a country head on in a conventional war. And if they did, it would be a combination of carpet bombings and Sarin gasses AKA they're doomed.

Iran has extended its influence around the region by supporting Shiite opposition groups and conducting military operations in a handful of countries.

Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition of Arab countries in military operations against the Houthi movement in Yemen. The formation of the coalition led to the creation, announced March 29 at an Arab summit in Egypt, of a unified Arab military force to counter Iranian influence and Islamic extremism.

What type of Air defenses UAE is having ?

 

[Majesty]

Saudi Arabia managed to unit almost all Arab countries as well as some Islamic countries like Turkey, Pakistan, Malaysia. This is a sign to the world and specifically to the Mullah of Iran not to mess with us or else body bags will start counting.

From a "SECRET,NOFORN" wikileaks' cable:

The UAE's expression of interest in a specific U.S. missile defense platform that would be interoperable with other U.S. systems would be the largest Patriot program outside Japan, Germany, and Saudi Arabia.

What type of Air defenses UAE is having ?

From a "SECRET,NOFORN" wikileaks' cable:

The UAE is part of the Peninsula Shield Force, meaning they have a joint air defence network with surrounding GCC nations, which is mainly comprised of PAC-3 and THAAD (near future) plus other systems.

most in pakistan are against your intervention. A political analyst called you backwards on T.V yesterday lol Pakistan to sit on the fence for now | Pakistan Today this piece gives a tiny insight of the immense pressure against intervention.

the trouble Pakistan faces thanks to certain "royal" family

Pakistan sits on a time bomb in this situation. The Sharif brothers are heavily indebted to the Saudi royals for providing the shelter during their exile. They are also indebted for the oil and capital that has been provided to their government in times of need, whether the nation has seen any benefit from the “kindness” or not. The instinct of the Sharifs is to embroil the Pakistani armed forces into a battle that will cripple Pakistan.

For GHQ, the problem is much larger. The TTP, Sunni extremist groups and extremist madrassas’ funding is all traced back to Saudi Arabia and the same GCC countries that are standing in an alliance together against Yemen. The Army is already engaged against the terrorists in the FATA region and working with the Sindh Rangers to clean up Karachi, while watching the border with India for any untoward advances. To move, or even commit forces, at this time would destabilize the gains achieved against the terrorists and weaken the operations in other parts of the country.

It also has the potential of straining our relations with China, one of our strongest and most trusted partners. The Chinese have already publicly condemned the action in Yemen and are no doubt putting pressure on Islamabad to stay out of the conflict. With their massive investments, economic and military relationships with Pakistan, China has the ability to keep Pakistan out of the conflict with the threat of withdrawing their support.

And I’d like to give a word of advice to those who are demanding that Pakistan join the fight… where was Saudi Arabia when it the time came for Pakistan to battle terrorism?

It’s very easy to talk about what they have done for us, but keep in mind the problems that we have with terrorism, fundamentalism and extremism all find their roots back to Saudi Arabia and the GCC.

The game board is confusing and strewn with flags from many countries. The best thing for Pakistan to do is stay out of it. We have no interest in joining a war between two Muslim countries, no matter what our relationship may be with either. Pakistan has already paid the Saudis back for all that they have done for our country with the blood of the 70,000 innocent lives that have been lost to terrorist attacks.

It's a sign that after a 100 years of humiliation, the Muslims have decided to take matters into their own hands. Iran too will realise this and together we'll first establish ourselves in our lands then claim our rightful place in the world.

I don't think China will use her influence to pressurize Pakistan to distance herself from KSA, another major supporter of Pakistan and a potential market for Chinese civil and military goods. Besides, Pakistan's commitment is with the protection of the Hermain and the royal family and she will not go beyond that. Pakistan deployed a whole division in KSA during Iraq-Kuwait conflict but did no participate in the invasion of Iraq. There are no sign that Pakistan will deviate from this policy.

There is no together with Iran till the Mullah put back to his place and pay for the mess he created in the ME.

So that means Palestine will be free soon? That coalition will attack Tel Aviv?

The so called political analyst you are quoting don't represent the government and the people of Pakistan. Pakistan has officially announce its full support to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its people and clearly stated that Saudi security is a red line to Pakistan.
