I thought I'd go through and update some knowledge on military assets of middle eastern nations, and, well, Israel is playing with fucking fire.
Their navy is a joke, corvettes, missile boats, and outdated submarines.
Their army is a purely "civilian suppression" army, so the Merkava's have transformed from MBT, to essentially heavily armoured transports with an oversized gun.
The only equipment that I'd call "state of the art" is their F-35's, and everyone has them because the US needed to sell them to everyone.
Meanwhile, just Egypt are running frigates, Abrams, and F-16's. I think any modern Arab-Israeli war would turn out rather different to previous ones.
It's almost like the Arab nations figured out sucking up to the US would give them an advantage in any future wars with Israel
