Yeah and no navy (neither any under surface fleet) and an insignificant army .. And getting trained by Pakistan...Yes Saudi is more than 2 time powerful than Pakistan. They have eurofighter in big numbers.
Yes very good job. Russia and china figures look some what surprising but over all a very good job and very convincing rating.
Ukraine can hardly take on the rebels in its east lol
If you ignore the list and read the article its well worth the time.
