Which of the following Arab countries has the strongest military?

[Arabian Stallion]

You need to read more about that....Egyptian Armed forces in Desert Storm,,,,,,or موسوعة مقاتل من الصحراء....the Egyptian Forces has its own role in the operation and Syrian Forces are as reserves of Egyptians..... Other Arab and Muslem are mainly symbolic.....you can re look to your map.

Add KSA to that list. The US and KSA (SANG) played a key role during the Battle of Khafji. SANG's participation was highly praised by the US and coalition. Likewise in subsequent literature published about the Gulf War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_battle_of_the_Gulf_War_ground_campaign

Anyway naturally the US played the biggest role by far however I am absolutely certain that an Arab coalition consisting of KSA, Egypt and Syria (mainly) could have liberated Kuwait eventually. However it would have been significantly harder, bloodier and more costly.

The ground fighting during the liberation of Kuwait was done mainly by the Americans, followed by the British and French:

The Arabs and other Muslims mainly had a ceremonial role. Simply put, if it weren't for America and Britain, Kuwait would still be part of Iraq right now. Saudi Arabia should be credited for allowing the American and other Western militaries to operate on its soil during the liberation campaign, but the Saudis (and other Arab/Muslim forces) contributed very little to the actual fighting.

As for foreign military bases in Kuwait, only the Americans have a military base around here. I'm sure the Kuwaiti government has signed a number of security agreements with Bangladesh, as I'm sure Kuwait might have hired a number of Bangladeshi military personnel for assistance, but that doesn't mean Bangladesh has a military base in Kuwait.

As for the Qatari military, it has ordered 24 Dassault Rafale fighter jets but that's about it. It also wanted to order F-35 fighter jets (along with Kuwait), but the Israelis cried about it and pressured the Americans to say no.

Qatar's really weak, militarily speaking. It's no wonder that the country has signed many military agreements with not only Western countries but also with the likes of Iran and Turkey.

The map doesn't show more than half the countries that participated. Plus you need to read up your history well by a lot. If it wasn't for Egyptians and Bangladeshis Iraqi tank forces would have decimated Kuwaiti armored forces. The war planning was off course US led. But to say America uk and France did all the war is absolute horseshit. Just think of how Kuwait was full of mines and when USA uk and France declared their zones mine free... It was still full of mines and now we are having to look for mines every year and sometimes you do find 1 or two in the desert. Again look up Bangladesh military command at subhan. And yeah the number now is 5000.

About Qatar now... When are they expected to get their package? Comes with the training I believe?

You have an incredibly skewed version of history.

The fact is, the Americans did most of the fighting. The participation of Arab and Muslim armies was just a token gesture.

The US wanted Arab/Muslim participation in order to delegitimize the arguments of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

Like it or not, the Americans did most of the liberating. In fact, most of the fighting actually took place in Iraq rather than Kuwait.

After a very successful aerial and naval campaign by US forces, Saddam Hussein ordered most of his troops to withdraw from Kuwait.

Almost all direct ground confrontations were between Iraqi and US forces, most of which took place outside Kuwait.

Had it not been for the US, UK and France, Kuwait would still be part of Iraq today.

Iraq had the strongest military in the Arab and Muslim world, second to none. It would've crushed an Arab/Muslim coalition very easily.

The Iraqis were experienced fighters. They spent 8 years fighting a very stubborn and highly dedicated Iranian army.

The Arab/Muslim coalition during the liberation had no fighting experience whatsoever.

Without satellite imagery provided by the US, and American air superiority, an Arab-led / Arab-majority coalition would've stood no chance against Iraq.

Iraq had 1034 military aircraft in 1990. By contrast, Saudi Arabia had around 140 aircraft, whereas Egypt had a little less than 400 aircraft.

Neither Egypt nor Saudi Arabia would have been able to match Iraq's air force capabilities. It would've taken literally years of purchasing before either country would've had an air force capable of challenging Iraq's -- assuming that Iraq doesn't expand/improve its own air force during that time frame of course, which is highly unlikely.

Simply put, Iraq would've established air superiority against the Arab coalition very quickly.

As for land forces and land equipment, Iraq was in a league of its own when compared to other Arab countries.

Hypothetically speaking, if the international community hadn't intervened against Saddam's expansionism, Iraq would've probably annexed the entire western coastline of the Persian Gulf.

I remember... I watched some video footage of Iraq before Kuwait war... Wow that place was some Dubai level! And yeah Iraqi army was extremely strong. However after fighting the Iranis for decades it was a foul move for Iraq when nobody was buying their oil and they had shortages of almost everything.

.Egyptian Armed forces in Desert Storm,,,,,,or موسوعة مقاتل من الصحراء....the Egyptian Forces has its own role in the operation and Syrian Forces are as reserves of Egyptians

Bullshit! The US marines liberated Kuweit and let the arab forces enter Kuweit city first.
almost half a century since desert storm , and you can't even tell the truth...The only arab force that was eager to fight, was the Qatari forces. The rest of them were absent, and the Sauds fled Kafdji a the first bullet they heard, it was also the US marines that retook Kafdji...
The Arab armies are non existant period! but in parades, they are the top.

Neither Egypt nor Saudi Arabia would have been able to match Iraq's air force capabilities.

Without the US and NATO, Iraqis army would have eaten their counterpart arab forces for breakfast! Kafdji was an example...

Sure KSA is there by default.

US marines that retook Kafdji..

without the air superiority they also would have no chance and without saddam they wouldn't dare to attack.

Israel is not an arab country, just a cancerous cyst..in the ME.like the Sauds..

The arabs armies were fillers only. They move in after the area has been liberated, with their flags and with their finger V, like they were victorious...

Neither does Israel..All Israeli product are either stolen copies of the west, or a co-US production..There is one thing that all Israelis forget is that you are a middle eastern country, no different from Egypt , Jordan or Saudi Arabia...
