The 24 Rafale Fighterjets are just the first order of many to come,there is your BVR.

Its going to take them a while to do the training. I remember EAF went through some training by Saudi air force on the Typhoon but not sure if that involved BVR shooting. Anyway, we know work as a block it doesn't really matter which one is more superior than the other. The Arab collation is going to be a striking force and very powerful.

UAE?

In a war Israel wouldnt stand a change even with the Iron Dome,10% of 1000 missiles would go through which is enough to destroy the Israeli infrastructure due to the small size of its territory however,the second strike capabilities of the 6 Dolphin subs armed with nuclear missiles would mean that the enemy would have significant damage to its infrastructure.

Iran has a negligible Airforce and Navy and only with missiles(except against Israel) you cant win a war but it will be very hard for enemies on Iranian territory(million army with 2 million reserves?).

The rest of the ME countries dont matter because i dont see them going to war in the near future.

Nice ranking, it seems fair to me. I agree Turkish have strongest ground forces, because Turkey is not only battle experienced but has large numbers as well. Israel in past few decades has strategy centralized around counter-urban warfare so they can't fair well in a war between other nations armed forces. Egypt has manpower but needs better equipment/less budget constraints.

Navy is definitely Turkey. Air Force, very close between Turkey/KSA. As for Iran-Israel war, Iran doesn't have many missiles capable of reaching and neither is it known if it will pentrate missile defense. Israel doesn't have capability to stop rocket fire if rocket supplies are massive. So it will either level neighborhoods, but if it's large country maybe they will use nuclear threat.

Trying to be funny or cant you handle it or what,if you think the UAE is more capable then thats your opinion.
Ask the experts on who has a better Airforce,the UAE or Egypt and see the outcome.
Reference to an earlier post.

UAE has better equipment but how do we put that to test? The era of direct wars is over, UAE is too late in that department. Today it's much cheaper and much less riskier to compete by proxy means or economic/political isolation. War between nations is becoming more and more unlikely unless the US is heading it.

what a lot of ppl dont know is that UAE was a part of a lot of wars. and they have modern equipmeant. UAE is a bit hush hush about those wars. but they have been busy the last 2 decades. so make sure to put that in your mind. they have modern equipment and modern experience. and in this day quality is more important than quantity.
i still cant be 100% sure who has better air force egypt or UAE but im just informing you of something you might be missing. so i presume UAE has a better air force now.
im not an expert in electronics but if you look at the UAE electronics and missiles they are way more advanced than egypt. they can easily detect Egyptians planes way before the Egyptians detects them. so if one UAE plane can detect 4 egyptian planes first and launch the missiles thats it they are all gone.
thats how i understand it. correct me if im wrong.

But surely.

Israel does nothing totally alone, It is an illusion. They depend very strongly and tomorrow the United States. Technologically and financially. Example : Arrow inside, Merkava inside, Fighter airgraft, UAV inside, satellite communication and geolocation, Navy etc…

But you in 25, 30 years not by the grace of God. Inchallah !

It doesnt matter in the end,i dont know what the problem is(they are all Arabs) UAE has no experience at all in combat situations.
Just make sure you are a unified force.
