Morocco is having a double trouble kind of thing. It has low education among its people AND no natural resources to boot. What Saudi Arabia and other countries have been trying to do was to help Morocco educate its people so that it will transform itself into a knowledge based industry and then once that is achieved it will join the GCC (Morocco and Saudi ruling families are In-Laws sort to speak). recent development in the region have caused the joining plan to be (Rushed).

what about Algeria? they do seem to be better standing than Morocco.

Egypt has signed a strategic partnership with Turkey now. Egypt will be getting Turkish drones as well. I believe Egypt should look into Turkeys atlay tank rather then the downgraded abrams tanks from the USA and also increased cooperation with the GCC, China and Russia will also help.

you shouldn't buy just for the sake of getting them. it needs to meet certain requirements... Egypt and Turkey is two different countries with different landshape. we have mountains and land while Egypt mostly is a dessert.

Altay is made based on Turkeys requirements, but probably could meet Egyptian to.

Algeria is the undisputed power of that part of Africa however due to its Pro-communist past it wasn't the best of friends of Saudi Arabia. Nowadays however there is more cooperation with Algeria however not at the level of Morocco perhaps in the future.

Yeah it is a Military and Economic Union it is a union similar to the EU and NATO combined sort to speak and yeah just about 500,000 soldiers.

So Mosa if suppose Pakistan attacks say UAE P) , ALL GCC member would jump on Pakistan like hungry wolves? You said that GCC is kinda like EU and NATO. If one NATO member is attacked, ALL NATO would respond...is that same with GCC? Also, Citizens of EU countries don't require any Visa to go to other member state etc ....Is that same with GCC? I'm guessing that its not...

Secondly, are there any plans of expanding GCC? I mean getting North Africa into it? etc

 

[yahya07]

Just look at the soldiers, they're mostly Pakistani's and Africans. If wore breaks out and the going gets tough, what is stopping these people from deserting?

Actually yes and yes. If one country gets attacked all countries will jump to its help. And yes I can go to any GCC country with my ID only.

I assume that you are still seeing pictures of the army of this part of the world from the seventies or eighties.

After the Iraq-Kuwait War all the smaller GCC countries implemented nationalization programmes, there was a big emiratisation programme in the UAE army as well, and the ratio of Non-UAE nationals in the UAE army to the UAE nationals in the army was completely reversed.

It was never this case for us. We always had more nationals in the army than non-nationals but non-nationals were few and held the jobs the nationals could not because it either required language or advanced studies however this is not the case today as nationals are more than capable of holding any job.

Actually all of these pictures are not of the special forces I am afraid. These guys belong to the ministry of interior counter-terrorism unit. These guys are the special forces:

This their gear:

These are really awesome they are well equipped and by looking how are they standing it seems they are very much ready to face any trouble and Saudi Arabia and all other Arab Countries need to develop and train their Armed Forces but still they have improved a lot compared to 1967

Yes agree with you, due to the population that KSA had they did not had to rely on the Non-KSA national that time in contrast to the smaller GCC countries having small population.

But now the GCC army has changed compared to the 70s and 80s and as you said they are now capable of holding any job no matter how advanced the job may be.

GCC countries worked hard to develop the most important resource a country has and all the countries of the world has it, i.e. the national (citizen) of the country and all those efforts are bearing fruits now.

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.

Than Saudi Army should make sure all of its troops are Saeqah (Lightning troops) even if they are above 200000 and they should take help of Pakistan SSG or Turkish Commandos and should train them in all kind of terrain and all kind of temperatures and also teach them to handle new technology and as far as Navy in concerned they should get 8 submarines as soon as possible and also train their Navy for war and lastly Air Force they should increase their fighting fleet as well as train their pilots well also should take help from PAF and train their pilots in Dog Fighting

Our air force held 6 joint excersises this year alone they are already improving very rapidly to handle all threats. They trained with PAF TuAF and EAF this year as well as UAEAF and KAF and a mass GCC joint excursuses.
