Turkish forces would suffer Great losses in war with Egypt in Libya

There is another thing everybody missing which is extremely crucial.

Turkey's Naval, Air and Land forces are linked eachother with domestic advanced links and combat management systems. Turkey's army has a STANDART. The enemy target that locked by the radar of closest army unit can be destroyed by the farthest unit's missiles even without seeing it in his own sensors and radars. Shortly, whole army is one punch.

Egypt's army is a soup of different systems from different countries which impossible to link each other and use as effective as Turkey does.

This is where professional term involved.

Bro, Turkish troops aren't going to Libya please stop dreaming. Turkish population can't stomach and doesn't want another unwinnable conflict like the 40 year war with the PKK.

Can you prove this claim whatsoever?

If it is not evident for you, then you and your egyptian fellows are walking into a terrible awakening.

Let's try a small thought experiment.

  • Turkey's defence budget is approx. $19 billion while Egypt's is around $11 billion.
  • Egypt has approx. 100.000 more active personal relative to Turkey in its armed forces
  • Egypt's army and air force are more capital intensive (maintenance expenditure) given their more numerous assets (tanks, aircraft etc.)
  • Egypt is allocating a significantly higher degree of its defence budget to weapon purchases.
Conclusion, Egypt has a significantly smaller defence budget but yet has more equipment, soldiers and arms purchases. Naturally, you can conclude that a smaller fraction of its budget is allocated to training and the individual soldier.

No dream here. I just stated how Turkish army works and why Egypt can't compete with it.

Budget doesn't mean anything, Saudi has a HUGE budget yet a weaker force than many countries in the area with smaller budgets.

Turkish army can't all get into a clown car and drive to Libya. Egypt also has one of the best air defenses in the MENA and if need be can operate out of Libya.

In desert war, the winner should have strong air support and logistic network. Because on the ground all asset are clearly visible. Turkey has advantage ,it AF is constantly upgraded under NATO standards from training to induction of new equipment. I don't know anything about Egptian air force strength and weaknesses. @The SC or @cabatli_53 on any Egyptian member please

There isn't going to be a full blown war. If Turkey tries something against Sirte, Libya then it will most likely have its ally GNAs airbases destroyed by Egypt. But yeah, Turkey knows nothing about desert warfare compared to Egypt.

Yes, Turkey has more experience in mountain terrain, desert war is extremely technical. But, we need to see the background of this whole standoff situation. From Past and present Libyans are always Russian ally and Russians were extremely angry when Obama strike down Gaddafi. Russians were not expecting such action from NATO or US. When Gaddafi got killed, Putin was in fumes and they change the whole ME strategy and looking for new allies.
I don't understand who push Turkey in this mess...
Now Russia again taking over its ex allies, Egypt,Syria and Libya...if someone else in list , then I don't know. Because during cold war these were 3 key allies including Iraq.

Israel will aid Egypt with intelligence. Under Erdogan, Turkey is a rogue undemocratic state.

The mad dog of Turkey who threatens to destroy people every day, is a menace to the region.
