Actually, per my specops friends, the Sadui military is pretty good. Ranking: (1) Israel (duh), (2) Egypt, (3) Saudi Arabia. They don’t suck.
/ref ME only. Worldwide, Israela and US (despite 0’s efforts) are WAY ahead of everyone else.
They reportedly gave the pilots who flew bombing missions in Yemen Bentleys. I’m thinking it was because they had a hard time getting them to fly.
They may be good, but are they motivated? The original king convinced the tribes to fight together under him. Would anybody follow the current, reportedly feeble king if he declared war? Would the military or the Saudi people undergo the kinds of depravations that war brings without revolting? The royal family is not popular and they maintain power by paying off the people. Interrupt the flow of oil and that ends real fast.
