And exactly HOW MANY females are able to pass the selection criteria for Infantry, Armor, or Artillery?


No idea. Just responding to to the claim that countries that allow women in combat roles, like Israel, aren’t fit to be called countries.

Both the former Soviet union and Israel do have females in combat support units, but not (so far as I know) in regular infantry, armored infantry, armor, or artillery units. All females in the Russian and Israeli armies are given combat training so they can defend themselves. They aren’t assigned to first line combat units that would be the first to engage aggressors. Both countries have prior experience in these areas and they won’t do it again unless there is a national emergency of monumental proportions.
