Israel's Air Force the Best in the World, Study Finds
(Jerusalem Post) Israel's military is the most powerful in the Middle East, while its air force ranks second to none globally, according to a study conducted by military experts for Business Insider. "Pilot to pilot, airframe to airframe, the Israeli air force is the best in the world," said Chris Harmer, a senior naval analyst at the Institute for the Study of War. "Israel also has one of the region's most battle-ready armies, a force that has fought in four major engagements since 2006 and has experience securing a few of the most problematic borders on earth," the report read. Turkey was ranked the second most powerful military in the region, followed by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, and Egypt.
