Any credible new source?...I doubt that Russians have gone bananas just yet.

The consequences are going to be extermely severe, so no, I don't think the Russians wil do a thing.

Russians cannot match the air power that lies in the Middle east, they will be badly embarrassed.

I always wonder why hadn't they developed their airforce. It seems like as if they were still stack in the 90s :undecided: So I guess you're right.

Russian and Chinese generals are known for their sabber rattling. Take this with a grain of salt.

russia would not really have a problem to annihilate the air forces in the middle east. arabs may have some nice planes, but they lack the combined arms quality to really stand up against russia.

Don't lose your temper, I can see your face is turning in black and blue. Smarty,

I am turning blue in the face from laughter:lol:



I wasn't referring to their role in Russia, but they'd done a great job all over Eurpoe, until the US came to rescue you.

We can read what you wrote and you clearly stated that Russia could not defeat Germany (talk about epic fail).

The Americans undoubtedly supplied the Soviet Union with with equipment (mostly trucks) and other resources, but the majority of what the Russians used was not American, nor did American army ever fight along the Soviets during the battle of Kursk, Stalingrad, Moscow, Lenningrad, or any other major battles.


The US first engaged the Germans in North Africa which was a disaster for the US. Other then that the two other major battles that Americans engaged the Germans in was Normandy and the Ardennnes both battles drew German divisions away from the eastern front, divisions that were depleted and exhausted.

They may not have the funds.

Depends what you mean by this? You think such a conflict would involve much besides airforces?

Well, if we consider ground troops, i don't know. But in Aerial Warfare, Air Forces of Jordan, KSA are pretty powerful enough to handle incoming attacking aircraft. Not to mention TURAF and IAF will come to their help.

I doubt it, I don't believe the Russians are having an economic hardship as much as what the USSR used to be.

A fallout attack is different than bombing a specific locations, also, Arab States are scattered all over the region.

The IAF doesn't have a dog in this fight bro.

But KSA and Turkey have already signed a mutual defense agreements. Haven't you seen their recent drills in Turkey?

I see. But if Ruskies will come from Iran. It means Iran will involve. Which it means again. Israel will join too.

Nahh! Don't be much hopeful. They always make such statements. Suprisingly they stopped doin it against Turkey, nowadays :)

If Israel joins many Muslims will not get involved. It would be open admission of Arab-Israeli relations which would in the minds of many Muslims be treacherous.

Just like during the first Persian Gulf War the Israelis were told to stay out for the same reason.
