Egyptian armed forces is said to be the second strogest in the middle east region, after Israel.How about Turkey? Does Turkey have a weaker military than these countries or do not we count Turkey as a player in the middle east scene? Thank you for contribution...

Why is there such a long drawn out compairison of Egyptian Military VS Israel? Do we really need a full paragraph and an economics lession just to say that the Egyptian army is comparable to Isael's army. Couldn't we just say Egypt has one of the most powerfull armies in the middle east/africa?

I'm kind of mixed on it. I think it's important that we don't just make very general statements, since most of the military articles on Wikipedia are very unspecific, but it doesn't really matter to me either way.

[edit] About the military power of Egypt...

Someone keeps making biased edits in the fourth paragraph and claims Egypt has the strongest military in the Middle East. What about Turkey and Israel? I changed the last sentence to: "It is the strongest military power in Africa, and among the strongest in the Middle East with Israel and Turkey." Denix 23:08, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Turkey is officially in europe not in the middle east and they are not compareble turkey is in the NATO. And why would turkeys army be stronger than Egypts Army Egypt has more tanks and more planes and if you add the paramillitary they would have more soldiers to.
