A military expert compared the combat capability of the armies of Iran and Israel

It is difficult to compare the armies of Iran and Israel, but there are obvious advantages and disadvantages on both sides. Military expert Oleg Glazunov told about this on Tuesday, June 17.

According to him, among the indisputable advantages of the Israeli army are modern weapons and extensive experience in conducting various types of military operations. He noted that the state has well-organized military intelligence.

Glazunov added that the Iranian army also has extensive combat experience, it is considered one of the most combat-ready. In addition, Iran has long been using drones and ballistic missiles on the battlefield, of which it has enough, the expert added.

"But Israel has one disadvantage. Israel is not ready and will not survive a protracted war. If any full-fledged hostilities begin, Iran may hold out longer. And Israel will need the help of the United States or any other allies. Therefore, I would not compare the combat training of the armies of both countries here," Glazunov said in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .
