The Royal Saudi air force has over 670 aircraft, of which 150 are F15’s. Only America and Japan have more F15’s.
Their army has 442 M1 Abrams tanks.

Suppress their own people, most likely.
The Sauds get other people to fight their external wars for them

Eagle Troop veteran of the Battle of 73 Easting. Unfortunately, not enough people even on FR know what that means. I suspect your troop could handle ISIS by themselves.

I thought that Saudi Arabia had 20,000 banks, not tanks.
Tanks for the correction.
Singing, “On the road again” to Syria.
“Tanks for the memories”
“Ahab the Arab and his camel named “Tank” (not Clyde)
“Shirley, you can’t be Syria?” (stretchin it a bit with this one, but I feel like crap right now).

Those numbers are laughably off. The RSA has about 327 aircraft capable of bombing anything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Saudi_Air_Force
The RSLA has about 1000 tanks in total. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Saudi_Land_Forces

Some dumb reporter is probably counting all ground vehicles as tanks.

The problem is that when Saudi Falls, the Iranians take the Saudi Pennisula and 1/5th of the Worlds Oil. I would not be surprised to see some tactical nukes show up in the Saudi toolbox. Davy Crocket types, off the shelf, Paks got plenty of them.
