@beentrack3dohno@47Tolkien I think the french can easily do it but they are probably the only ones capable of doing so if they dont bomb the dam and destroy all of egypt they can wipe our navy and hold on the coast but they wouldn't be able to advance onto cairo and down the delta
@SChrysanthus@47Tolkien depends if the republicans win the midterms which i find unlikely considering how many they alienated the democrats might block a war on the houthis
@SChrysanthus@47Tolkien america doesnt need the middle east anymore they got venezuela judging by the fact that they let saudis get clapped by the houthis and aren't aiding them
@SChrysanthus@47Tolkien That could be true but the issue with the saudis is that their commanders are generally incompetent no matter the training they get and their ground troops aren't even saudi its all mercs so no wonder they get their asses clapped
@SChrysanthus@47Tolkien It wasn't a strela it was considered to be a chinese made fn-6 and the f-15 shot down is a 2021 model "F-15EX Eagle II" so pretty modern nothing confirmed if it was a strela or an igla-s
@SChrysanthus@47Tolkien The americans do training exercises with us aswell sure it may not be as great as the israeli ones we have our own revamped training exercises from the wars we lost we learned the wrongs we did now if it will be effective we don't know we haven't fought any wars
@beentrack3dohno@47Tolkien I did my point is that while no army can reach the delta other than ethiopia it can be destroyed by the destruction of the dam if we fight the americans or any european power that doesn't have a failed military they could mop us up easily with their navy and drone tech
@SChrysanthus@47Tolkien Iran shot down an f-15 using a chinese manpad confirmed by the americans and most likely the damaged f-35 was using chinese tech
@SChrysanthus@47Tolkien Well this army hasn't fought much other than terrorists so we don't know if its a paper tiger or not while our equipment isn't a leopard 2a7 or a sepv3 the m1a1sa is alright for the most part the french did want to sell us advanced ordinance but the americans blocked it
@beentrack3dohno@47Tolkien If we fight israel they have better air than us they can easily destroy the dam pretty sure that is their entire war plan but they cant really do a ground invasion like back in the day
@SChrysanthus@47Tolkien What the fuck are you talking about we have modern equipment we have 1300 abrams we build them here aswell we also have rafales and f-16s
@47Tolkien While that is true one glaring issue is that any army that doesn't care can easily destroy the place by blowing up the dam flooding the nile delta and only leaving the coastal cities
