Israel would destroy turkey in a war especially sense they are backed by the US and UK. |
Turkey is no Palestine or Iraq, their military capabilities are faaaar biger than both of them combined. They are successors of the biggest most power full muslim empire after all

Yeah, it'd be an interesting war... well assuming Israel doesn't go with the "We have nukes" option... and i'm not sure the US would get involved outside of sanctions.
I'd think Turkey would actually win just by out "swarming" them. They actually have a similar number of tanks and military aircrafts with the Israel ones being a bit better quality in both, but all the extra "small" tank busters and anti-aircraft missles would probably be the differnece maker, along with larger troops and no doubt uprisings in Palestine.
I mean, if Turkey were forced to land in israel via sea, Israel might win, but i feel like Turkey would have no problem getting permission to move across the land through Syria and Lebanon

It depends on the war aims. If Israel was fighting from being occupied then it would probably fight with more vigour + it has nukes. If it was just skimishes then at sea probably Turkey as they have a much bigger and more capable navy. I know Turkey has a much bigger army but that's not enough to defeat a state of the art defender. I can see the Israeli airforce winning the airwar and pounding the Turkish army which would lack effective aircover if they were to lose the airwar. Sure Israel would lose a lot of men and equipment but unless Turkey pulls a 'Yom Kippur' I doubt Israel would 'lose' the war and a ceasefire would be negotiated. Also Turkey doesn't have a big force projection capability, it's army was built around defending against the Russians and also battling Kurdish seperatists.
I doubt any other countries would get involved militarily though like you say Syria may allow Turkey to transit it's territory.
Still from a Generals pov it would be an interesting war as both are well trained and equipped to Western standards.

I was working off a Turkish invasion.
I could see the Turkish Navy being able to cause some trouble to the Israeli air force actually, I believe their ships have some good anti-aicraft capabilties and they could basically shell Israeli airbases constantly. It would take a three way split to work though, Bombardment through the sea, infantry from the north and airpower from the sky, to split up the Israeli airforce enough to work though.
Then again I wonder what kind of protection Turkey really has against the modern missles of Israel.
It would be interesting because we only really have vague ideas on what's important in a modern war between two near equals.
Horrifying... but interesting.

Ha, not as interesting as India vs. Chia, or USA vs. Russia
|
US Vs Russa?
The US has 9 times the aircraft as Russia, and they're a step ahead technology wise... and even when the T-50 is ready for more production it's not quite in the league as the US planes.
The US also has 10 times the Navy, and an even more advanced navy, meaning what few Naval ports Russia has, will be blockaded pretty eaisly, and... the armies are about even. It'd just be a matter of US ground forces being supported by planes and the US 11 cariers...
Then you take into account the US has a slight military numbers advantage, larger population, larger military reserves and larger economy....
India vs China... I don't know enough about Indian Technology. I wouldn't expect a landwar vs china to go well, when your right on the border though.

Yeah that's what Hitler though when he launched Barbarosa and and before Hitler, it was Napoleon. I think USA would harm Russia a lot, but they wouldn't defeat it (enter moscow). USA would have more succes on Russian soil than russians would on american. I believe whichever country would be defensive would win. I mean, USA wasn't very successful against poor equipped Viet Cong, I doubt they would be much more successful against much much MUCH better equipped russians
