The Strongest militaries in the Muslim world

Indonesians couldnt even beat the tiny Netherlands.

The Ottomans tried many times to support the Atjeh rebellion with weapons but the Ottoman Navy was not powerfull enough in the Indian Ocean because of the Portugese.

that was 500 years ago.. The indonesian population during that time was merely 7.75 million spread across islands. It was like walking into isoolated villages when the dutch got there.

They are currently nearly 300 million, armed to the teeth with rain forests climate which is a natural labrinth making impossible to beat them conventionally on home soil.

They are building strong navy and ships because they have plenty of Islands and Indonesia will become where people go to purchase high quality warships in just few years not even a decade

1) Pakistan because of numbers, semi-modern hardware and adopting modern war concepts, and nuclear weapons + battle hardened.

2) Turkiye because of advanced domestic technological base + combat experienced due to fighting insurgents and the Russian/Iranian backed Syrian Arab Army of Assadist Syria.

3) Egypt, simply because they have a lot of modern weapons due to US aid, and have some moderate amount of combat experience due to having to fight ISIS in the Sinai, and sending soldiers to fight in Yemen.

4) Iran, because they have a ton of military experience in various wars and battlefields, also have a ton of experienced generals, but lack modern hardware, and have no air force.

5) Saudi Arabia, because they have a ultra modern army, but have zero combat experience, and suffer from training issues.

6) Jordanian, because they actually do have quite a bit of experience, as they have covertly send special forces into Libya and Syria to secure their interest and back their chosen factions.

7) UAE, same as Saudi Arabia, but have some experience, but their army size is small.

8) Indonesia, as they have a relatively decently large well funded army, with decent equipment. Have some experience fighting separatist terrorists.

9) Malaysia, fighting insurgents has given them experience, have a decently equipped army, and a fairly modern air force which they're adding on to, but its small in size.

10) Nigeria, somewhat of a large army, lack modern hardware due to budget constraint (and are trying to buy as much as they can afford, including JF-17s), but are extremely battle hardened due to decades of fighting insurgents and neighboring armies.

On a side note, some of these positions are going to inevitably change in the coming decades.

In particular, Nigeria is going to become a force to be reckoned with, and will likely become a part of not just the top three militaries in the Muslim worlds, but top 10 kf the entire world in general (if they can grow at a steady pace economically).

Turkiye will likely become the top of the pack in the next 10 years.

Pakistan will continue being top two.

UAE and Jordan will likely continue sending their forces into various global battlefields to gain vital experience, so they'll likely get better.

Iran's position would be higher, but the beating they took has degraded with military capabilities. Their lack of an air force showed just how much of a handicap they had. They may go higher if they can rebuild, and actually build a decent airforce.

Egypt will, in my opinion, decline in position in the next 10 years, as their economy is going to continue suffering. Budget constraints will eventually force them to cut back on some of their more ambitious targets.

If Indonesia actually get serious, they'll easily become number 2, as they have a massive $1.4 trillion economy, and a population comparable to Pakistan's size. Yet they keep screwing around, and get nowhere. The IFX has turned into a joke, because they keep going back on their word with Korea. The so called KAAN purchase has turned out to be a nothing burger MoU, and over all their future purchases are a non-commital joke.

Turkey is above Pakistan, only advantage Pakistan has is nuclear weapons.

But the entire officer class and strategic/tactical thinking culture of the Turkish military is far ahead of Pakistan's. NATO tier.

Unless Pakistan does not increase the standard of officers and get rid of the outdated villager boomer mentality then in a practical scenario it will always be #2.

So are you saying the foundations given by that Brit training are inadequate and substandard compared to NATO? Which Britain is a member of?

Or has the officer ranks become polluted with cronyism and corruption?

its worth sharing an information that if we dont provide the Bullet Proof Jacket to the Military personals then we have more that 50+ "Homeland Security" Autometically, as now we are less responsible for the international obligations on the name of differences between culture, race, religion, the language etc :coffee:

@Persian Gulf
@muhammed45

further, this is in fact a leaked information, which we first shared with the Nigerian/African Security Personnel's, which we find in common now 👍
