but in these days, I don't think it's thee same situation.
I don't think the Arab armies are as bad as you think they are.
They have a lot of weapons from dealing with Russia, and much more advanced missiles.
the only thing i would say that they are lacking compared to Israel, are defensive capabilities. which is what Israel is mostly focused on developing.
