Featured Qatar is now one of the most well-equipped military forces in the Middle East

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Look at Saudi Arabia and UAE. Their joint force will be more effective that Qatar. yet in every war they have stepped in the Middle East, they have lost.

No matter how well equipped Qatar is, its small size will not let it stand to a strong attack, God forbid.

Turkey is in alliance with Katar....

These expensive purchases are for a reason...

Several bases in Libya are being activated....

A combo ops from UAE+Egypt+France+Russia+...

However, the Turkish folks had been expecting such an attack! So, measures had been taken to minimize the effect and gauge the enemy tactics...

As for El Vattiye base, it's now operational with the extensive usage of the Turkish cargo planes...

Russia and france wont send their fighter planes and pilots to attack Turkish base. That leaves UAE and Egypt. My finger will be on UAE. This over-commercial sheikdom can side with dogs for their interests.

in my own personal view of this, I don't think it's the fact that Qatar is trying to claim to say "I'm the strongest" but it's look, I have money and can buy from anyone from anywhere.

a lot of people tend to mistake, just because you have really advanced weaponry means your army must mean you are capable fighting force, and Qatar doesn't have a capable force considering they are relying on the Turkish base for part of it's protection and hiring former Pakistani soldiers/commandos/pilots to protect Qatar as well.

S.Arabia is the best example for your message


can you imagine that Qatar's most modern weapons are in the hands of the Turks ? Rafale,Eurofighter,F-15QA,AH-64E,etc

also Turkish Military Base in Qatar , in the near future most modern Turkish Weapons will be in Qatar

You got recked by a bunch of ragtag militia in northern Syria. You are in no place to lecture them.. lol You can't even eradicate the Kurdish separatists inside of your country and lecture a country like KSA that is actually fighting another country with a militia and the Republican Guard of the late president backed by a regional power and armed to the teeth in mountainous terrains and in a land the size of Syria and Iraq combined. You Turks have no self-awareness.

For a small country or even a big country to prevent damage to ones forces you need to strike first with speed and excessive force to throw the enemy of its feet.

I remember reading almost a decade back a defense article written by an ex-Pak Army Officer who said they recommended the Iraqis strike first during the 1st Gulf War on allied forces that were gathering across the border but they didn’t listen. Even if Iraqis were going to lose at least you have the enemy suffer some losses.

I wouldn’t just say Iraqis but majority of our Muslim World countries sit and ponder outcomes rather than exacting a cost, that includes Pakistan as well.

Interesting that they were also advising the Saudis to use PA instead of taking US help.

Exacting some glorious cost seems to be the same mentality that leads to debacles and corruptions.. make profit now even if it leads to ruin.

Yes, I would say Pak Army wanted to be used to route the forces but not totally destroy the Iraqi Army as they knew it was a bulk work to keep around in that region. But KSA and Co., kicked the ball rather than throwing it and lost control of the region once Iraq was finished.

Who is their potential enemies?

Qatar is now equipped with the most modern combat vehicles made in Germany including the Leopard 2A7+ main battle tank, the PzH 2000 155 self-propelled howitzer on tracked armored, Dingo 2 HD 4x4 armored vehicle and Fennek a 4x4 light reconnaissance armored vehicle.

According to Military Balance 2020, Qatar is attempting to transform its military capabilities and the regional defense standing based on significant equipment acquisitions, with the aim of creating one of the most well-equipped forces in the region. The speed and scale of the equipment plan suggests that Qatar will need significant foreign help to integrate and operate its new capabilities.

Qatar placed an order with KMW for 62 tanks in 2013. In 2016, German Company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) has delivered the first batch of Leopard 2A7+ to Qatar, according to a contract for the purchase of 62 main battle tanks. The Leopard 2A7+ is an improved version of the Leopard 2A6 especially designed to perform combat operations in the urban areas. The tank was unveiled in 2010 during the defense exhibition in Paris, Eurosatory.

The Leopard 2A7+ is armed with a 120 mm smoothbore gun L55, which has been developed by Rheinmetall GmbH of Ratingen, Germany to replace the shorter 120 millimeter L44 smoothbore tank gun on the Leopard 2. The Leopard 2A7+ is equipped with IED and mine protection modular concept allows the integration of an urban operations kit that also offers a 360° protection against RPG while a duel-kit retains the crew from KE- and SC-projectiles, especially on the frontal arc in classical duel-situations.

In 2013, Qatar has ordered 24 PzH 2000 155mm self-propelled howitzer from the German Company KMW in support of its armed forces’ modernization program. Manufactured in collaboration with German company Rheinmetall Land Systems, the PzH 2000 si one the most modern tracked self-propelled howitzer in the world.

The PzH 2000 (Panzerhaubitze 2000) is a 155mm self-propelled howitzer mounted on tracked armored developed by German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) together with the main Rheinmetall Landsysteme for the German Army.

The main armament consists of a Rheinmetall 155mm 52 cal. gun with a chromium-plated barrel and semi-automatic lifting breech block with integrated 32-round standard primer magazine. The 30 km range requirement with NATO standard shells and the 40 km requirement with base-bleed shells has been met with the development of a new 155 mm 52 cal barrel.

The core element of the PzH 2000 is the electrically powered and digitally controlled automatic shell loading system designed to handle the 155 mm shells when loading and unloading the 60-round magazine, loading the gun from the magazine and loading from outside, including inductive fuze setting.

Qatar has purchase Dingo 2 HD (Heavy Duty) the latest version of the 4x4 armored vehicle in the Dingo family. Qatar is the launch customer for the Dingo 2 HD, having taken delivery of 14 vehicles in three versions, ambulance, command post, and radar reconnaissance vehicle. These vehicles have also been optimized for use in high ambient temperatures.

The Dingo 2 HD is based on the UNIMOG FGA20 chassis and features an increased payload with a maximum gross vehicle weight of up to 20,000 kg. A raised roofline to the rear of the commander’s and driver’s position increases its volume for mission flexibility, while a central tire inflation system is fitted as standard to improve cross-country mobility.

In 2014, Qatar has also ordered 32 Fennek 4x4 wheeled reconnaissance vehicles that were delivered from 2017 to 2019. The Fennek is a 4x4 reconnaissance armored vehicle produced by the German Defense Company KMW (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann).

The hull of the Fennek allows flexible armor protection concepts and is typical of all-welded aluminum armor with additional armor modules providing protection from 7.62 mm AP small arms fire and shell splinters. The layout of the vehicle is unique with the driver located at the front of the vehicle with excellent vision to his front via three large bulletproof windows.

The Fennek can run at a maximum road speed of 112 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 1,000 km. The Qatari Fennek is fitted with a remotely operated weapon station armed with one 12.7mm heavy machine gun and optics to conduct reconnaissance missions.

We should have taken the entire GCC as part of a great pan-Arab campaign, then restart the war on the Majoos in Iran
