Zitat:U.S. AGREES TO NOT TO SELL AMRAAAM TO EGYPT


LONDON [MENL] -- The United States was said to have agreed to an Israeli request to restrict the capability and use of advanced air-to-air missiles to Jordan and ban their sale to the rest of the Arab world.

The London-based A-Sharq Al Awsat reported on Wednesday that Israel persuaded the Bush administration to impose a set of restrictions on the sale of the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile to Jordan. Earlier, the administration had agreed in principle to a Jordanian request for the AMRAAM for the kingdom's F-16 fleet.

The newspaper asserted that Israel agreed to an arrangement in which the AMRAAM would be sold to Jordan. But the agreement included a U.S. commitment to ban the export of the air-to-air missile to other Arab states.

Earlier this year, the administration relayed an informal request to Congress to sell the AMRAAM to Egypt. Several senior House and Senate members expressed their opposition to the proposed sale.

Zitat:MIDEAST MILITARIES REMAIN POORLY TRAINED, EQUIPPED


WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Despite a huge investment, Middle East militaries remain poorly trained and equipped.

A report by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies said the militaries of Iran and the Arab world continue to fall behind that of their Western counterparts. The report, authored by senior fellow and former Pentagon official Anthony Cordesman, said virtually all of the militaries in the Middle East have failed to properly train their soldiers and keep apace of the revolution in military affairs.

"Most Arab land force reserve manpower has little training, second- or third-rate equipment, and little capability in maneuver and demanding combined arms warfare," the report, Middle East Military Balance of 2004, said. "Modern military forces are so expensive that Middle Eastern states cannot afford to use much of their total manpower pool because they cannot fund suitable equipment, training, and sustainability."

The report said Israel has been the only military in the Middle East that has largely kept up with advancements in defense technology and doctrine. The other militaries in the region have largely failed to exploit the advanced platforms and systems obtained from the United States and other suppliers.

Zitat:OMAN DISCUSSES ROLE IN GCC FORCE


ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Oman has been discussing its role in the newly-expanded Gulf Arab military force.

Omani defense and military officials have held discussions with the Gulf Cooperation Council regarding the sultanate's contribution to the Peninsula Shield regional military force. The GCC has begun efforts to expand the size of the regional force from 5,000 to about 20,000 over the next few years.

So far, officials said, Peninsula Shield has expanded to nearly 9,000 troops over the last year. They said the impetus was the Peninsula Shield mission to protect Kuwait from Iraqi attacks during the U.S.-led war in March 2003.

Oman, along with the rest of the GCC, provided troops and military assets for the Peninsula Shield mission. Officials said the Omani contribution was one of the smallest in the GCC effort.

Zitat:N. KOREA MARKETS TAEPO DONG-2 MISSILE


LONDON [MENL] -- North Korea has begun marketing the Taepo Dong-2 long-range missile to Middle East clients.

Western intelligence sources said the most likely client to purchase the Taepong-2 is Iran. The sources said Teheran has been negotiating with Pyongyang for the purchase of the Taepo Dong-2 as Iran's first intercontinental ballistic missile as well as a space launcher.

"Iran wants an ICBM and China and North Korea are already helping in the development of engines," a senior intelligence source said. "North Korea could eventually reach a deal to sell the Taepo Dong-2 to Iran."

The sources said in 2003 North Korea discussed the Taepo Dong-2 with Libya and Syria. But they said neither country pursued the issue.

1. Tja, leider hast du da einen kleinen Logikfehler. Denn du stellst den Saudis als große Schwäche das sie bis dato keinen Krieg geführt haben. Aber selber gibst du an die iranische Armee wäre am stärksten unter dem Schah gewesen. Welchen Krieg hatten sie denn vor dem GK1 geführt

Wären sie somit nicht auch ohne diese Erfahrung und nachdem GK1 stärker als vorher
