Turkey VS israel

in turkish •  7 years ago 

Interesting article, however Global Firepower is not a very accurate site and completely fails to take into account quality differences between equipment, training levels and availability of reserve forces and many other important specifics.
In particular Turkey's tanks are much older and less advanced that Israel's tanks. Israel has around 1350 Merkava IV & IIIs which are 4th and 5th generation tanks many with Trophy APS force fields that make them impervious to missile attack. Israel then has another 2200 older Merkava I & II and M60 Patons etc which are equivalent to the standard of Turkish tanks.
The same is true regarding aircraft. Israel's are far more advanced and upgraded than Turkey's. Also Israel now has about 20 F-35s.
Finally, Turkey's once very professional military has been gutted Erdogan post attempted coup.
