The Algerian Armed Forces.

[KingMamba]

Active duty : 630,000, Reserve : 550,000 !

And if you were to include the FC & other paramilitary forces, seeing that its them & not the Army thats fighting the WOT & have fought against India side by side the army on the frontline then the Active personnel climb to around 1.1 million & the reserve should be a little under a million !

Besides the FC there are other forces?? Do they have a wiki page for those or are they like hush hush forces? FC and Army alone is 800,000 but I always figured PA in total was 1 million plus. Active I mean.

At least to level of comparison with Algeria. NO ?

Yeah maybe but then again most Arab military tend to be relatively smaller in size because of a smaller population & a lesser numerical threat from Israel.

Burma active military personnel is 406,000 but in reality would you call it a strong army? I specifically said it's huge in terms of Personal and equipment (to be precise: "numbers and types").

Dude Egyptian F-16s aren't even BVR capable & the tanks are either Pattons or M1A1s ! Good but not exceptional; Turkey & Israel are much better. Even KSA's military is better if somewhat a late comer in the scene !

Bro his statement was accurate in that regard, in his region 470,000 would seem a huge number. Remember Pakistan is a part of Asia where armies usually field HUGE forces historically.

Yup you've got the Pakistan Rangers (about a 100,000 troops), the Frontier Constabulary (80,000), Frontier Corp (30,000) & then you've got numerous smaller groups ranging in a few thousands such as the Baluchistan Levies & the Mehran Force & others !

Their wiki page is incorrect because it hasn't been updated completely ! Paramilitary forces of Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puts the Paramilitary at around 420,000 but in reality its probably a little more than this !

No the Indian Army is around 1 million & PA is a little over 500,000 ! The Indian Armed Forces is around 1.3 million & the Pakistan Armed Forces are at around 630,000.

Bro his statement was accurate in that regard, in his region 470,000 would seem a huge number. Remember Pakistan is a part of Asia where armies usually field HUGE forces historically.

I suppose so !

The arch enemy of Arab Nations has been Israel & its the size of a date fruit's seed with a pretty small army but an exceptionally well trained, technologically superior cohesive unit. Plus the Israeli's always had Uncle Sam to look out for them.

Egypt filled the gap of lacking the BVR by building a very capable air defense system, however, it's not as not capable BVR as you think it's, Egyptians are not stupid to have 240 F-16 C/D with not capable air-air missiles:
AIM-7F/M: 50 kilometres
MICA (missile) 80 km (French fighters)

As for the tanks, I think we should stop here.

Egypt is far ahead in term of quality and quantity than any other African country.

I forgot:
ARMAT 40–120 km

Yup probably !

Wait what about South Africa...does that count ?

I forgot:

ARMAT maybe a fine Air to Ground Missile but it ain't a BVR AA missile !

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

My mistake, sorry

My mistake, sorry

@Arabian Legend : Have you heard that Black here is dating an Iranian girl & is learning the Farsi language !

He even talked about how he'd like to spend the rest of his days in Tehran !

 

[Arabian Legend]

I would say yes as an overall, however somewhat debatable

Most Air-Air fights in history till now were done within medium-Short ranges, I agree that not having Amraams make Egyptian air force less capable, but that doesn't mean to underestimate their air-force.

F-4 Phantom II 32
F-16 Fighting Falcon 240
Mirage V 60
Mirage 2000 18
MiG-21 Fishbed 62
