“I am a pessimist when it comes to the issue of more or less long-term peace in this region. I do not share Obama’s views about the possibility to solve the problems of the region peacefully in the foreseeable future,” the specialist told Pravda.Ru.
“At the same time, I do not see any conditions for the conflict between Syria and Israel to develop into a large-scale war. Even if Israel attacks one of the Arab world countries, it will not make everyone else stand up against Israel,” Minchenko said.
“The Americans will not let Syria strike Israel, their strategic ally in the Middle East,” he added.
It is worthy of note that Egypt, which used to lead many Arab anti-Israeli forces, now develops partnership relations and cooperates with Israel in the struggle against Palestinian terrorism.
Sergey Demchenko, a former military advisor of the USSR in Egypt and Syria, said that Arabs are bad warriors.
“Arabs are weak as warriors. Their whole units would panic and run away once they would spot an Israeli combat aircraft during the war in 1973. They would drop their anti-aircraft systems and just scatter. It would be enough for someone to scream “Phantom!” (US-made F-4 aircraft of the Israeli Army) to make Arab soldiers run away and hide like cockroaches,” Demchenko said.
“Syrian troops are very adventurous. The ammunition packages which they would take along were enough for only one hour of battle in spite of the fact that they could have any weapons they needed from the USSR. Those of our specialists who currently work in Syria say that the military efficiency of Syrian troops is still very low,” he added.
Nowadays, Syria has neither military help, nor erstwhile allies.
