In my point of view the strongest are either Egypt or syria or Saudi Arabia or Iraq pre 2003

If you include Egypt as part of the "arabian" armed forces, they surely win out: M1s, F16s, Leos, TOWs, Patriots, etc., and plenty of them, also well (US) trained officers (which probably is a very important force multiplier).

There are a number of well equipped states in the Middle East, but the thing is have they the bottle for a real fight

Egypt, as the most populous, US trained and equipped arab nation. Syria would come second but with russian hardware and training. Saudi Arabia does not really have a offensive army, only defensive in nature, and not enough population.

I'd say that it depends upon what they are fighting for.

Given the right reasons I have no doubt that they would be a formidable enemy, just look at the insurgents in Iraq.

If by Arabian, you mean "arab" not "on the arabian peninsula" it's undoubtedly egypt, as it has the most tech, and a huge population. Iraq might have had a shot before it's military was destroyed for a second time back in '03, not to mention they're smaller population (less manpower for troops)

Ya I approve what all of u had said but Saudi Arabia has m1s and f-15s (f-15 are not included in our arsenal (Egypt)

1. In terms of Organization, Discipline and Command & Control, Jordan's small army is very good. Oman also has a good and small army.

2. To the Arabs the definition includes the Maghreb also. In that case Algeria has a good fighting force. Morocco has modern weaponry, but being royal and all I do not know how professional they would be. In kingdoms of Jordan and Oman, traditionally British and Pakistani officers have built up their forces.

hahaha you are truly funny.
if you don't know nothing about arabia, don't speak about.
****most powerful arabian air force:
1-Egypt with 510 air-fighter (210 f-16s + G3 air-fighters)
2-Algeria with unknow number of air-fighters (mig-29,mig-35,su-27,su-25,su-35 to be delivred soon...)
3-Saudi Arabia with 290 air-fighter(f-15, tayphoon...)
****most powerful arabian navy:
1-Algeria
2-egypt
3-Saudi Arabia
****most powerful arabian ground forces:
1-egypt( primary tank m60a1 and the abrams)
2-Algeria(primary tank t72 and t-90s)
3-Syria(primary tank t55 and t72)

note: both egypt and algeria owns s-300,patriot and pantsur defense systems and ordred s-400 to be delivred soon.

So overall it would be between egypt, saudi arabia, and algeria?
