Kuwait: “if I stay really still no one will notice me.”

The fact that there is a missile named 'Popeye' is surreal

As Binkov sat back, puffing away on his pipe, gazing into the chaos that routinely unfolds, he pours a glass and watches the show.

Turkey's mandatory military service time is 6 months, not 12 months. You are wrong there, my friend.

This video is a perfect example of "say a lot of wrong or outdated information online and watch the chaos unfold."

Regarding Turkey, all numbers seem to be accurate except for the Army. Infantry is serious business there, they have a lot of them, and they are very capable. Turkish Gendarmerie (Jardarma) is almost a second land force, and does a lot of the fighting in the mountains of the south east. I'd put active land forces personnel of Turkey to be around 600k, with half of them being conscripts. They also have a large amount of reserves who have actually seen combat.

There are errors in the video. There are 17 frigates in Turkey with the latest TCG Istanbul and the number of corvettes is 10, the number of them will be increased to 14. Also, the Turkish army has decommissioned the F5s, there are 2 fleets of F4s, there are F4s in Ankara and Konya, their fleets are still active, definitely. They are not in number like 19. If they were that few, we would not try to buy 40 Eurofighters. Moreover, there are plenty of Su24s in Syria. You did not include them in the list. In fact, planes like the MIG 21 Su22 are in active use.Hİsar-O Hisar-A systems have been added to the inventory of the Turkish army. Official accounts have videos showing their use in air defense units.

First of all, all attack helicopters of the air forces in Turkey are T129 attack helicopters because Cobra helicopters were transferred to the naval forces.

From my experience training allies from that region, the biggest advantage that Israel has is competence. Most militaries in that region are appointed because of family ties/loyalty. Competence and qualification are not a factor. The Saudi, Egyptian and Iraqi military personnel that I trained were all woefully incompetent with poor attitudes that were unreceptive to training

Jesus, he just gives numbers on military stocks and reserves with few opinions and all the arabs are pressed in the comments for NO reason.

Türkiye have S400 km Hisar 25 km Hisar+ 50km Siper 1 100km Siper 2 170km You don’t have enough information about Turkiye.

If you take this video as a source Turkish Armed Forces couldn't make even higher than 30 on top armies list 🤣 you ignored too much equipment in their inventory and portrayed it as TurAF relying on the US for all it's A2A missiles in inventory. But still an important work 👍🏻

This video is missing A LOT of factors.

I’m sure these comments won’t turn into a hot mess that relates nothing to the video

Wrong info regarding the man power stats. Turkiye has around 450k military personnel and a small portion of this number are conscripts. Turkiye had a high precentage of conscripts at beginning of 2000s however they gradually switched to professional army completely. However the conscription law still on but the conscripts do not engage in operational activities. There are other mistakes too but i do not want to keep it long. Tank numbers and modernity level of them are wrong, armoured vehicle numbers and models are not accurate either. Rocket launchers/missile systems numbers are also wrong. In short, all numbers are wrong. How do I know? Because I have made extensive research on this topic some time ago out of personal interests. Forth coming from Turkiye example, I think such mistakes are made for the militaries of other countries included in this video as well so I do not find this video informative but disinformative. Sorry Binkov, bad work this time. Edit: Fixed some typos

The numbers are not correct Egypt and turkey have about 500 multiple rocket launchers.

Not stronger than Turkey's in absolute terms, yet stronger than all neighbours, except Saudi Arabia in certain areas.

President Jimmy Carter while in office stated Israel has "somewhere north" of 150 nuclear weapons...years ago.

How does it stack up against Hamas who are armed with tunnels ?

No one has real data on Turkiye. It's an old tradition. Turkish army has more than thousand years history. And in this tradition, they never show what or how much they really have, until they really need it.

A military is based on some degree by the amount of arms....but usually it is based on ability, training and competency. Which Israel has in spades compared to it's neighbors.

I mean, not mentioning about drones is weird IMO

as an Iranian I hope we can have peace in the future and become the next union ( just like Eu or Nato) indeed all wars not last forever. God bless everyone ❤

Israel power ?? US tax $

bro forgot about Turkey's UAVs

In Türkiye conscription is 6-12 months depending on your choice to stay and get paid for the rest or after finishing compulsory 6 months you can leave. Also %75 is a highly incorrect percentage since conscription was shortened critically 5 years ago

Would suggest "Why Arabs lose Wars" by Col. Norville de Atkine (ret.). The equipment would tell you one story, but the training would tell you something completely different.

I assume many systems of Turkey just outdated systems from basic web-search. just an example they have their own domestic sam's called hisar class and siper class, plus they have their own advanced radars, attack helicopters, ballistic/cruise missile's, whole domestic navy structure including complex domestic sub systems, Im not gonna dive into aerial unmanned systems and variety of precision guided ammunitions. Because basically they have huge inventory of domestic precision guidance kits, bunker busters, etc. The fact is Turkey is the only nato member country in this video, so I believe their military standarts are so much higher and precise compare to the other countries. So from the perspective of Israel, there is only Turkey has chance to ruin their country completely, plus Iran can cause huge damage either to Israel in terms of military escalation and plus World Economy via the gulf blockade.

all these angry Arabs in chat bruv

Can you do a Europe or NATO comparison one. Mainly 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇵🇱 🇮🇹 🇸🇪 🇫🇮

Excellent and impartial video. Israel's secret weapon is the fact that any major conflict for the Jewish State is an existential conflict. When the conflict is not existential, as with the 2006 Lebanon war, then Israeli forces are much less motivated. We need not be surprised that Israel has a small navy. In Old Testament times the Israelites often had a powerful army but never a powerful navy. King Solomon's fleet was mainly manned by Tyrian sailors.

this is the first time ever that i don't agree with a video you put in your channel !!! Egypt navy is stronger. Turkey navy is much much much stronger and where did you take the numbers of Israel's tanks and armored vehicles ???

It’s interesting how the focus in the news is about Israel, Iran, Turkey and Saudi as influential powers in the region. Yet, typically Egypt is overlooked. Given its military, political and cultural power/influence, I think it’s the sleeping giant in the region.

Sorry binkov but unlike others i guess you made a cursory video by working on so many countries at once since many numbers are incorrect and data is unreliable

Thanks for putting these together @binkov!!!

If you have a shitty maintenance and logistics… then all these numbers mean nothing

I don't think the information about Turkey is correct. They have more than what you say in the video. Showing Nato's 2nd biggest army as a syria not makes sense at all. Research better new turkish systems

I love binkovs comment section lol

4:49 wrong info binkov, this number for Türkiye does not include old stored M48's. If you check the numbers some years ago it was 3500+ since it was including the M48s you mentioned but number 2378 shown here does not.

Turkey has domestic Hisar A short range aur defence system and Medium range in service. Working om long range one too .

Weaker countries don’t remain weak for ever.

Binkov you're the BESTEST unbiased military nerd on the internet ❤❤

My Good friend Binkov is basically the Janes of the 2020's! great stuff well laid out!!!!!!

You know there is a difference between countries like Israel that started begging America for ammunition after 1 week in Gaza and a country with standalone army...

You forgot to mention Israeli LORA, Gabriel, Sea/Ice Breaker, Arrow 2 and Delilah missiles

Ever since binkovs failed analysis of Armenia vs Azerbaijan , I wouldn’t take this seriously

You left out a lot of Turkey's equipment. Don't you think it's absurd for a country with the 8th most powerful army to have so little equipment. we have a lot of locally made equipment. i suggest you do more detailed research next time. it's still a good video.

I have to correct you , Israel has infantry fighting veichels , they are Called "Eithan AFV" . and they are amazing next gen. AFV .

You cannot think of a modern battlefield without UAV systems. Also your information may be very.. VERY flawed. At least one of them, i am pretty sure of.

Failed to mention the biggest change in military warfare of the 21st century. Drones. Bothe Iran and Turkey are probably the worlds leaders in combat drone production now.

Too many muslims in here salty they havent won a single war against a tiny nation state. Nothing's changed since 1948, still getting thrashed on the battlefield in 2023 lmao

Turkish conscription is wrong. It's not 12 months anymore (6 actually) and conscript percentage is lower than %75. According to a source I found as of 2021, the Turkish Armed Forces had a total of 390 thousand 960 military personnel under the umbrella of the Turkish Armed Forces, 174 thousand 916 of whom were obliged. In other words, as of 2021, 55.2% of the Turkish Armed Forces' combat force will consist of professional soldiers.

Here is some popcorns before you enter the comment section:🍿🍿🍿

Very nice idea for a video. I was always wondering!

Careful Binkov all the trolls from the weaker countries are here 😬

People here seething so hard

One easy answer, and real answer is AMERICA

I remember Henry Kissinger once the Egyptian army is the only army in the world that could use tactical lessons from the South Vietnamese army.

"Saudi reportedly bought DF-3 missiles" >Shows a Saudi MoD public picture of DF-3s on Parade

Most of the information given regarding Turkey is completely wrong. The comparison is also a disaster. We are not buying missiles, we are producing them. 2 Altay tanks are produced and currently they are getting tested by TAF. Turkish Armed Forces consists Leopard 2’s. I’m not even mentioning our UAV power and newly produced Aircraft(Helicopter?) carrier. Even if you type with broken English you can easily gather information regarding the conscription duration which is 6 months. Quality vs Quantity is what this video about and only Turkey and Saudi Arabia can match with Israel under these circumstances. A person with no knowledge could say Egypt is the strongest military in Middle East by looking at this video, yet which is completely wrong 😂 Unsubscribed.

Finally we got a OG style Binkov video. And a good one at that. I’d like to see something like this or even a full on hypothetical war scenario on Chile vs Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. This should be interesting, especially since Argentina may finally modernize its Airforce and Bolivia is looking into buying Iranian drones including the famous Shahed Suicide drones.

The Turkish military is incredably tough and dedicated, (or it was before Erdegon who had to undermine it for fear of being overthrown) Poland, out of self defense (and fear that another Trump presidency) spends a significant (for the EU) part of it;s total spending. Israel is losing it's effectiveness under Netanyahu as many of it's nieghbors are ramping up training, logistics and discipline. Whats the difference between a ship and a boat? "Sir, you can fit a boat on a ship. You cannot fit a ship on a boat." A classmate in a county college science class responded to what we all thought was a rhetorical qusetion from the prof.

You wrong at Türkiye's manpover according tonsurveys turkey has 520 k people active 400 spare

I think that Iran helicopter aircraft number is off by one.

People really are ignorant about what US aid to israel is actually. Yes, artillery has been provided, especially in this war, but a big part has been in the form of grants where the US outsources some R&D and gets to have a major say in the successes, like iron dome

Hi there! I'm interested in knowing what software was used to create this video. Could you please let me know which software you used for making it

Turkey's army consists mostly of professional soldiers, reform has been made, the information is incorrect

Omg a video about Israel! Help my feelinga are hurt!

Remember guys. The Industrial Military Complex loves it when nations fight each other. It makes the rich, richer. We’re all brothers and sisters. War is terrible. I wish our mindsets changed and held our leaders accountable.

It`s not accurate to say the least - IDF in full capacity is 930,000.

You forgot to mention aircraft drones. That's the future of warfare.

The only countries that are producing those weapons in the video are Turkey and Israel. While Iran is trying to produce stuff they lack the technology and expertise. Turkey lacks a lot growth and familiarity for now but I think Turkish Armed Forces will be indisputably far superior in the area and more importantly almost fully independent in 2040's at worst. As a Turk myself I hope we have better relations with Israel.

Tanks are not losing importance

do not underestimate the professonalism of turkish soldiers It has been on active war since 1970. Even it is small terror groups it made the army keep in form. In the region only some countries have this experience. Also, army have nato standards. Lastly the manpower is much more than that number.

Arabs going nuts in comments and staging fictitous victory parades😂😂😂😂

I don't know much about other countries, but very wrong information has been given for Türkiye.

Man all these people hating on Israel kind of justified Israel’s existence lol

The channel lef out of the video. A LOT, of military equipment from Turkey and Egpty for instance.

youtube coments are one of the d9mbe5t place on earth

What about the average brain IQ factor of the soldiers ?

great vid

Thanks to all who make Binkov's awesome video's..... Old F-4 2 Shoe🇺🇸

Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev said: We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, "Save me!" He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them

Can you do a video like this on Europe ?

Excellent and Outstanding!!!

The main thing I learned from this video is that Jordan has a way more capable military than I thought.

All 4bn dollars of aid per year from US and only this?

So overall turkey is top on list

Israel has 4100 tanks And 700 planes Source the IDF

Good video concept but the source for the information is horrible. I know its not your (binkov's) fault just please don't really on this source. So here is some constructive criticism/ corrections. The army numbers when it comes to vehicles are by far the worst, I am only mentioning the stuff that stuck out to me Air forces: Aircraft numbers for Iran and Egypt are way off for example the source used says 10+ tomcats and in reality according to flight global the number is 40 this is important because they are Irans most potent air craft, same thing goes for the rest. Egypt is getting another 30 rafeles, Iraq also has MI-24 attack helicopters and we know around Half of their fleet is operational because they relies a lot of videos showing them as operational. Navy: Isreal does not have 9 frigates and only has 7 corvettes, you did mention it in your speech. I ran has 3 active "large" but old (altho domestically upgraded) Russian/Soviet Kilo-Class submarines still in active service. Further more Egypt does not have 3 corvettes they have 5 in active service, 1 fitting out and one not yet in commission. Also both Egypt has 2 mistral carriers that can be used for Anti-sub warfare and turkey has a drone carrier that is about to get commissioned. Army: I mean honestly the list for the army equipment mistakes is too long but to show how bad they are, Iraq in its victory day (against isis) PARADE showed more MLRs systems than the 6 mentioned in the video. you can find it by searching it up in arabic, they have their own KZfaq channel. the army number are horrible especially for the Arab side. I know its very difficult to get numbers for the Arab nations espcially syria and Lebanon (also Iran) but these are waaaaaaaaaaaay off.

It is funny how Hams supporters on 1 breath begs for ceasefire and on the next breath claims victory.🤦‍♂

It's a bit funny because the Turkish army controls an area almost twice as large as Israel in Libya and Syria, using very little of its capacity. Israel cannot control Gaza by using all its power :)

Repackaging older videos as an audio-only podcast is a great idea. Maybe also think about adding some kind of update for older content to make it more "value added."

I dont know man.. These are very very rough estimations. Some numbers feel off

Saudis have on call nuclear weapons from Pakistan.

Quick question, does lebanons troop numbers include Hezbollah? It wasnt specified.

Many important stuff are not mentioned but good video overall

I see the Doll is still alive and kicking ! Nice.

They've shown previously that it's more about intelligence, unity, strategy than it is about manpower or assets

in israel total will be like 1.5m soliders.
