Saudi Arabia demonstrates full military capability

[A.M.]

All the Arab countries are absolutely useless in a war. They can be given the most expensive hardware and will still suck.

Can anyone here recount a successful mission by an Arab military army in the last 50 years? All of them are a joke and will remain one in the future.

 

[The SC]

LOL PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.stop making things as you go along. 1973 war was Syria ,Egypt no Saudis were involved period. saudies attack or participate in a attack on Israel never going to happen ever FULLSTOP.

They did participate with men, money and politics, why do you think king Faisal was assassinated by a member of the house of Saud sent expressly from the US where he was living? You can dig it in the latest video of the Egyptian commemoration of the victory of the Ramadan war a.k.a Yum kippour war.

Too many to cite, you are obviously not well informed about the Arabs.
Take the sinking of the Usraeli Eilat ship and bombings inside Usrael, just after the 1967 war. The 1973 war, a total victory of the Arabs, they HAD to stop or else face the US. The 2006 Hizbollah victory in Lebanon against all odds.

Shhh don't tell saudies,ok it will be a shock for them to find out they were their and never new.

Saudis were part off 1973 war so cut the crap and now Saudis are far better Trained and motivated you have your sectarian bias I know that

 

[Arabian Legend]

You answered yourself,
"Yet to be seen" so don't make judgments, this exercise is a scenario of a three front invasion, from the north, from the east and from the south simultaneously.

Oh and the Makkah Seige is waaaaaaaaaaay over rated the participation of foreign troops, one of my relatives is a retired national guard officer, there were only three French advisers who failed. About 20 Pakistani troops who held a token mission, and vast majority was Saudi national guard work, it was a retired National Guard officer who oversaw the breaking attempt eventually, Mohammed Al-Shammari.

There is no evidence to that at all. Neither Pakistan nor France have participated in that mission. It all was all the Saudi National guards.

lool Saudi arabia military capability? Its true Saudi arabia has money to buy the best type of weapons from us in the west/U.S. However, im afraid thats where the story ends. Saudi Arabia doesnt really have a strong local industrial/manufacturing/industrial complex/industry to manaufacture weapons on their own,

you are confusing this to be 1960s.. they have gone past that time. maintaining the Typhoons and f-15s themselves manufacturing their own MRAPs and smaller fire arms.

most of the comments about their military are from people who watch some fat Saudi civilians , read some anti Arab articles and form an opinion and become experts. Saudi personnel train with some of the finest armies of the world. they got the cash to burn and can buy the best what money can buy so why reinvent the wheel when there is one already on the offer?

There is no evidence to that at all. Neither Pakistan nor France have participated in that mission. It all was all the Saudi National guards.

it is true, the foreign troops were there in an advisory role and to show support. the operation was run conducted by Saudis.

wish we could do half as good in Red Mosque Siege,.... here the terrorist not only walked free but are now considered heroes and the soldiers who took part in the operation were hunted down and assassinated and Musharraf is facing murder charges at the hands of the family of the terrorists.

I'd suggest you have a read at the 1973 war once again. Despite lacking army personals for it's newly formed army to govern its own territory, Saudi Arabia nevertheless did participate with 3,000 Soldier and have lost men in the Syrian front and provided financial aid to both Syria and Egypt.

lool Saudi arabia military capability? Its true Saudi arabia has money to buy the best type of weapons from us in the west/U.S. However, im afraid thats where the story ends. Saudi Arabia doesnt really have a strong local industrial/manufacturing/industrial complex/industry to manaufacture weapons on their own, without our help/support/TOT. Unlike say Turkey, Iran and even Egypt. Giving the amount of cash Saudi Arabia has, its indeed surprising their leaders aren't investing in creating the necessary foundations needed to produce such weapons indepedently(yes it will take time, but in the long run its worth it, than taking the short route buying wepons overseas without a proper plan to reduce this dependence in future). You need to have your own local defence industry which can keep on churning out war machines in time of war, since it may happen one day that we dont agree with Saudi arabia policies and sanction them in case they go to warwith a country. In that case what will Saudi arabia do? since it can produce these weapons without our help/spare parts?

So yes Saudi Arabia has a mordern military backed by billions of dollars of cash(they recently overtook even my country to become the worlds 5th largest defence spender) but that doesnt means they are a strong/credible force, they are yet to prove themselves in a real mordern war. In fact even unstable Pakistan will decimate them in a war to be honest. Im not bashing or undermining Saudi arabia, Just making a point.

So will be good for Saudi Arabia to invest more in science, Education, technology,manufacturing, industries etc. This will help them more in long term

I agree with you .

you're right , but I think you understand us wrong ,we don't mean that our military is one of the super power countries.

Our military force is good compared to the Force of our enemies in the ME such as Iran , Hezbullah ,Al-Hothey in Yemen and Alassad in Syria .

So,our force is able to be compared with ME countries nothing else .

The truth is Saudi Arabia military Capability is nothing compared to the most 20 powerful countries in the world .
But it's not fair to say it's = 0 (As what some Pakistanies here said )


In addition, as you said we have to build a strong local industrial to get unlimited power from our selves, then we can say we are strong .

otherwise , our force will be limited for hundreds of years .

Thank you for your sincerity .

I hope we get more collaboration with UK .



But , there is one thing makes me laugh

which is some Pakistani members here making fun of Saudi Arabia military , and forget about them selves ! they thought Pakistan from the top 10 super power countries by making some missiles with CN and north Korean technologies with F-16 and the CN JF-17 .

I won't be surprised tomorrow if I see some pakistanies here say US, RU and India are jokes and pakistan is stronger than them twice !

In fact ,Pakistan without the NUKS they will be occupied by Indians .

sorry my English isn't much good.

How many countries against one was the war of 1973? And Hizbollah victory in 2006? What exactly did they win from that war? Lol.

All of middle east has the best hardware in the world and gets humiliated every single time in warfare. Syria couldn't contain a small insurgeny, Iraq's army got overrun by 10,000 fighters. Peshmergas were getting their behinds kicked until US stepped in. Let's hope Iran is mediocre to stop this advance.

 

[JUBA]

That shows that you're beyond ignorant in military matters, since when all of the middle east operates the best military hardware? They operate soviet junk, and to make it worse it's downgraded export versions, from Iraq to Syria to Egypt to Lybia, the only modern armies in the Middle East are the GCC, mostly KSA and UAE, which didn't get modernized in terms of military hardware till the mid 90s.

And seriously peshmergas?

 

[thesolar65]

Ok here you go. I had to upload it on DailyMotion.

Are those gold plated chairs?

 

[al-Hasani]

Great share @Arabian Legend .

 

[al-Hasani]

I wanna believe that Saudi military is decent, maybe not well-experienced..may be not top class NATO standard..but still a military that you don't wanna mess with (Unless you are U.S, offcourse. Cuz they can run-over any military)

But professionals, highly-qualified people with military background, and retired officers who have first hand experience of Saudi military say very demeaning things about Saudis, lambast their non-military-professional attitude towards military issues, their lack of proper training and so on.

So I don't know what to believe.

Saudis do have good weapons and all that a military can dream off..but in today's world, weapons are useless. Armies are useless.

What matters is creation of a well-trained military machine. Something along the lines of Israel. Saudis have every advantage over Israel (Men, numbers, equipment)...but have they created a 21st century military machine that can rain hell on potent opponents?

I don't know..and as I said, professionals/experts don't seem to think so.

That's why I want @gambit to explain/elaborate on this further.

Yeah, summed up while knowing jack shit. The PDF way. This is not the 1950's or 1960's anymore.

KSA is undoubtedly one of the best equipped armies in the world and one of the most capable ones. There is not really much to add other than that. Our pilots for instance are one of the best trained out there and our different military branches conduct joint military exercises of various kind regularly with the best armies out there. For each year the army gets more powerful too.

Let's not even talk about our military history. Our ancestors created 3 of the 10 largest empires the world has ever seen to date (more than any other ethnic group out there) and various kingdoms, sultanates, emirates, sheikdoms etc. on 3 continents.

List of largest empires - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We have always been known for our fierce warrior skills and traditions in that department. It's in our blood. The "oil/gas/natural resources age" might have changed that a bit among some but that warrior spirit is still there lurking waiting to strike the enemy (ies) while defending our ancient and holy lands. Have no doubt about this.

Excellent video @Arabian Legend and it is indeed laughable to hear criticism from people from certain countries with insignificant military histories in comparison. I certainly had and continue to have a good laugh about those clowns who not long ago were cleaning British boots. So don't have too big expectations my friend.

It's been many years since I was an advisor to RSAF but I do know that it has become a force to be reckoned with. Any country with 311 upgraded F-15 eagles, including large numbers of "E" models, 72 Eurofighter Typhoons, and 120 F5E Tiger II's in reserve, all backed up by AWACS, aerial refuelling, an integrated computerized battlefield management system, etc., well, that is an air force that a country would think twice about before taking it on in a fight.

Good to see you mate. I hope that you are doing well.

Several books/sources are invented but it takes a brain to read them or investigate them. The only joke here is you. Look at your own backyard before commenting Nostradamus. Like you would have been able to defeat the US or nuclear armed Israel on steroids (support of the entire Western world and billion of dollars in yearly aid etc.) or any other Muslim country out there. Don't make me laugh.

One would think that it was our country that was in flames due to various insurgencies, waring tribes, sectarian conflict, political instability, lack of economic progress, unemployment etc. Oh wait it is not but let's write nonsense anyway. PDF in a nutshell. Unfortunately.

LOL PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.stop making things as you go along. 1973 war was Syria ,Egypt no Saudis were involved period. saudies attack or participate in a attack on Israel never going to happen ever FULLSTOP.

Last time I checked it were our ancestors that ruled what is now Palestine for almost 1000 years during the Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid Caliphates and during the Fatimid Empire. Moreover it were also our ancestors who not long ago conquered Jerusalem. Lastly Saudi Arabians did take part in the first wars against Israel and also in 1973. Obviously you have no clue about Islamic history let alone recent military history in the ME so do yourself a favor and don't make stupid comments. I see that other users wrote that before me too.

All this happened while your ancestors were doing what? Probably Hindus and known as Indians to the rest of the world. At least being utter irrelevant from a military point of view. Did a tall, bearded and scary looking Saudi Arabian SHIA make you cry. Why don't you quit trolling whenever KSA is mentioned? You clearly have a few problems or two in this department. Sort it out.

Shhh don't tell saudies,ok it will be a shock for them to find out they were their and never new.

Man, your command of the English language is laughable. It seems that you have a few problems more than just your thought process. For a former British colony that's really, really bad. I guess that they don't teach English in your local farsi Mullah founded "command center", LOL.
Lastly what is Saudies btw? It's called Saudi Arabians. Shall I call you a **** or Pakies? Why are you constantly trolling? Don't get me started, please.

@Norwegian
u r an ahole. stop embarrassing yourself and my country.

Cheap oil wealth made you rich but did it really make you intelligent like Israelis?

@al-Hasani
Please don't mind the idiots and don't feed the trolls. a vast majority of Pakistanis loves and respects Saudi brothers. a hand full "self-pitying", "self-beating" minority would always be disrespectful and bashing towards Saudi brothers.

I think the greatest success and sign of professionalism for any defence force is to avoid conflict as much as it can, suppress terrorism and terrorist outfits in whatever size, shape or form, and KSA defence forces have done that quite impressively. At least your forces did not create "Frankensteins" that came back to bite your behind and create unrest in the whole country.
