Following the Sun Tzu logic of "know thy enemy", studying Arab strategy and tactics in both their wars against Israel, each other and with the Iranians, it's always fascinated how inept they are in modern warfare.
They're not short of guts nor smarts, so it must be a cultural thing. I've trained a lot of foreign students. Comparing Western students (specifically Germany, Norway and Spain), the Saudis seem baffled by modern tech. The Kuwaitis were better, but there were so few of them and since they were the best of their best, it's not a good comparison. The Italian students were the worst of the NATO nations and only a little ahead of the Saudis. As a student myself, the Iranians were similar in being stymied by modern tech, but I didn't experience flying with them directly.
The Iran-Iraq War was very telling about how their cultures are similarly crude, more emotional than logic and lacking sophistication. They can be brave, but stupid. All "Allahu Akbar" and anxious to get martyred.
It's no surprise to me that the body counts are so lopsided when one side is very precise and very logical while the other side is foolishly brave to the point of being suicidal.
