Israel’s military is the most powerful in the Middle East, while its air force ranks second to none globally, according to a study conducted by military experts for Business Insider.

The business and technology news website ranked the 15 strongest armies in the region while noting the size of the countries’ respective defense budgets as well as the latest geopolitical tumult and its impact on military strength.

“A close defense relationship with the US and an energetic domestic defense industry give Israel a qualitative edge over all of the region’s other militaries,” the report stated.

“Israel has space assets, advanced fighter jets, hi-tech armed drones and nuclear weapons. Its air force has incredibly high entry and training standards.”

“Pilot to pilot, airframe to airframe, the Israeli air force is the best in the world,” Chris Harmer, a senior naval analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, told Business Insider.

Harmer’s research was partially used to rank the militaries of the region.

“Israel also has one of the region’s most battle-ready armies, a force that has fought in four major engagements since 2006 and has experience securing a few of the most problematic borders on earth,” the report read.

“Israel’s military has also never attempted a coup or ruled the country directly, unlike several others on this list. Thanks to Israel’s small size, the military can rapidly mobilize its reserves on relatively short notice.”

Turkey was ranked the second most powerful military in the region, followed by Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen.

  1. Chest thumping will do no good. I want these cockroaches to go against a proper and tested ‘foe’, not just the Palestinians in the Gaza concentration camp. It’s easy to go on blarney.

  2. All but one nuclear state has detonated a nuclear weapon. Delivery systems are another matter.

  3. I take it to be considered “the best” you must have proved yourself against an opposition? Who is the opposition?
    The IDF is the biggest joke of an armed force in the world. Made up of desperate conscripts from North Africa, Ethiopia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, India and even China – they are a running joke – good for killing un-armed women an d children.
    Hezbollah and Hamas make mince meat of them. They cry like babies.
    Absolutely pathetic.

  4. near everyone is in the Military Reserves in Israhell… chances are a terrorist (heaven forbid) is taking out multiple Reserves IE not civilians in Israhell ~ i watched on the ‘front lines’ of Vietnam, the VC take on Jets aiming to drop ordinance ~ there’s an Achilles heal on all this US funded Israhell Air force

  5. “Israel has space assets, advanced fighter jets, hi-tech armed drones and nuclear weapons. Its air force has incredibly high entry and training standards.”
    Hey! Your Tax Dollars AT Work Folks!
    I find it interesting that the Jerusalem Post can announce that Eretz Israel has Nuclear Weapons. But the Israeli Government won’t admit it and will not sign the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty!
    As the last two Presidents of Iran has attested to. AS the USA through more and sanctions on them for peaceful development of Nuclear Energy!
    As far as the rest of this article goes.
    I find it irritating,disgusting and misleading!
    Irritating because this article is such a suck up job to Israel! By emphasizing Israels military superiority it further serves to the illusion that Israel is stable and a legitimate state.
    Disgusting in that the only thing that military is for. Is to oppress “Israels” only native people who have lived there for over two thousand years,the the Palestinians! While failing to address that Eretz Israel would nothing without the support of the USA!
    Misleading in that this military superiority is all do to Israels imaginative minds and efforts!
    When (As I Said before) ISRAEL WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT THE USA’S SUPPORT!
    IF THEY ARE SO GOD DAMNED BIG AND BAD?
    WHY DON’T THEY ATTACK IRAN! INSTEAD OF ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE THE USA DO THEIR DIRTY WORK!
    F@#K THE ISRAELI MILITARY!

  6. Hmmm
    Actually the title of the Article is a bit of a misnomer. Israel’s Air Force isn’t so much a testament to their hard work, dedication and ingenuity in the field of Military Air power so much as its ability to lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, corrupt, bribe and black mail the US Congress and the White House. Israel wouldn’t have a military of any significance what so ever without the ill gotten gains stolen from the US. In fact if you took America’s support away today, Israel’ military would quickly degrade as the huge acquisition and operating costs involved would quickly the country. But then taking things (like credit in this case) that don’t belong to them is a reoccurring theme in Israel.
    What is even more tragic is that America’s stolen money, know how and support is being used by Israel to commit genocide against the Palestinian people. Israel just finished a 30 day bombardment of a completely defenseless city which is 75% women and children under the age of 15. Several thousand innocent civilians were slaughtered with that vaunted “Air Force” They dropped more explosives on one of the most densely populated areas on the planet than 2 atomic bombs. All courtesy of the US tax payers. The US Congress must be so proud of their treason.

  7. A nasty little nation of mad-dogs, supported by a fading world power run by whores and peopled by idiots. Now, let’s move on to really important news; DOOD! who’s in the playoffs??!!

  8. Especially now that the US goy golem has taken care of Iraq and Libya and the ISIS golem is working on Syria. These fags never had to go up a real state army that could fight back.

  9. Everything the usurping colonizing ILLEGAL entity “israel” ever had or has is by theft, chicanery and FRAUD. There is nothing it can claim in this vain as being ethical, moral or otherwise above board. Its CA$h Cow the U.S. Govt is the means. Once that tit is dry, there is no more “israel”.

  10. Yo, Big Cree, i wish you were right but ({ http://consortiumnews.com/2014/10/23/the-battle-for-palestine-2/ } the scumbag Zionists are milking other teats as well ~ Don’t think they are not forging alliances with the Chinese and Russians,Iran!… be sure to read parts 1 and 3 of William Polks Battle for Palestine..) The Zionists stop at nothing ~ only physical obliteration will stop this joke on humanity.
