Makkah Defence Alliance: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, news & updates

[Fox]

Makes sense

Combined now the Makkah pact can allies can field

1,300 fighter jets
22 AEW Aircraft
33 refuelling aircraft
7,000 MBTs
1,200 SPH



Obviously age of equipment and capabilities vary but the above is one hell of a force

France, UK, Germany combined are

450 fighter jets
7 AEW aircraft
24 refuelling aircraft
600 MBTs
200 SPH

Makes you think how powerful Makkah allies can be if fully integrated

The UK, France, and Germany operate under different war-fighting doctrines. Unlike Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey, they don’t have hot borders or active internal insurgencies. They are benefiting from a peace dividend. The threats they do face are in part offset by their robust nuclear triads—an advantage neither Saudi Arabia nor Turkey has.

And as others have noted, there is little in the way of common platforms and shared supply chains between the alliance members. Give it a decade and see what progress is made.

Saudi says parts of two Houthi missiles fell in Mecca, shrapnel on Jeddah​

Saudi Arabia says parts of two ballistic missiles fell in Mecca, and shrapnel from the interceptions fell on Jeddah, Taif and Rabigh, after the missiles were fired by the Houthis towards the Mecca and Medina regions.

The Saudi Press Agency said the interception of the two missiles caused parts of them to fall in Wadi al-Maghmas in Mecca, and parts of the interception shrapnel to fall on the al-Nuzha neighbourhood in Jeddah, Wadi Jalil in Taif governorate and the Mustura district of Rabigh governorate.

Saudi Civil Defence had earlier said that two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis towards the Mecca and Medina regions had been intercepted.
