Arabs are only taught about technology they lack Leadership and Skill( Hence how they lost the Arab-Israeli wars). Tribal cultural also plays apart, GCC Military is noting more then a bunch of Paper Tigers that have fancy Toys, Egypt has the best Arab Army that could run rings around the Saudis.
not really, you only have fighting experience and a bigger army. RSAF have experience and their navy is more modern than Egypts. the only dissadvantage they would have is the army.
The Saudis Performed terrible when they were fighting the Yemeni houthis, they had to call in Airstrikes it revealed many of the weaknesses in the SA Army, Egypt has the better Army, The RSAF and Egyptian Air force in terms of performance Egypt is slightly ahead the Saudi's have the better Fighters but thats it, as for the the navy it's 50/50, if Egypt has all the weapons Saudi did they would be the strongest Arab Military, even on par with Turkey.
yes that is what i mean... i know for sure that the Egyptian army is way much better skilled than the Saudi army. naval vise i dont know... Saudi has a better technological Navy but i havent seen it in action. the Egyptian Navy has probably seen some during the wars fought against Israel.
air force vise Saudi has a better one, no doubt. they have F-15's pure dogfighting aircrafts. your F-16's are more or less heavily downgraded with Israel in mind.
they have bombers and F-15's to back them up.

Okay let me give it to you in a nut shell:
1-Air-Force: Our airforce is by far the best one of all the other branches of the military they have experience superior training and the biggest budget of the rest of the branches and not without reason. in any fight in KSA due to how the big the country in and how the cities are so far spread apart all fighting in such an area is settled in the air. That is why Saddam's tactics in the Iraq-Iran war did not work in Arabia but worked in Iran-Iraq border.
2-The Army: The army has been for a long time where people who can not get a job anywhere due to bad marks in school or trouble makers, The army simply absorbed all these types of people so naturally it is not going to have the brightest people around however lately a paradigm shift happened in the Army that surprised everyone, their standards got extremely high since 2008. Also not to forget the army has an extremely powerful branch which is the Saeqah (Lightning troops) These guys are the better trained better equipped of all the rest of the army and they consist of about one third of the total army numbers.
3-The Navy: The navy only started to get attention lately since the beginning of about the year 2000 and it is the branch that will receive the most attention as KSA prepares to expand its power projection capability. The navy always had high standards of enlisting its officers are multi-lingual individuals and are extremely highly trained. Soon as the Navy plans to bring destroyers and build its own frigates the navy will change 180 degrees what it lacks is submarines something they have been training individuals on since 1990s but we are yet to see any. Also the Navy has the (Human Frogs) brigade a special forces that most Saudis see as legendary and not without reason since each (Human frog) goes on a world training tour from China to Russia to Indonesia to France and so on.
4-Air-Defense: The US refusal to train Saudi Individuals on Air-Defense promoted King Andullah to build the King Abdullah college of Air-Defense where the trainers where Russian and Chinese individuals and the recent plans to purchase the S-400 system promoted the Americans to finally give in and realize where they stand and who do they stand in front we are yet to see what will KSA go for as it has the option to either upgrade existing Patriot system to the Block 3 standard or keep the existing one and incorporate it with the the Russian S-400 (While we are pushing hard for the S-400 the Russians only want to sell the S-300 complicating the plan we had for such a long time)
5-Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG): The SANG has always been the force responsible to keep the Al-Sauds in power and was a counter weight to the Army and thus controlled by the other branch of the Family. However recently the SANG had a job change from being mainly a defensive force it is looking to incorporate Tanks, Ships and fighter jets and equip it with Eastern Equipment and put it in charge of Complete defense leaving the Army free for the future for power projection the recent all Russian deal is aimed at the SANG and rumor has it the SANG is looking into acquiring some Su-35 or Su-37s in the future but time will till.
You remind of when of Egypt when Nasser intervened in Yemen it was failure, Mosa no doubt Saudi Military has improved since gulf war but, Egypt is in a league of it's own Simple fact Egypt is the strongest Arab Army, Egyptian Air force is better trained then Saudis you heard I would rather have a good pilot and a average Plane then a bad pilot and expensive Plane . Egyptian Navy better experienced and trained Saudis better equipment? Mind I remind you Egypt also fought Saddam in GCC . Egypt NOT the GCC will again lead the Arab World.
