Israel vs Iran: Military Strength, Capabilities, and the Balance of Power
Israel and Iran mirror a classic matchup: tech versus mass. Iran fields larger forces, more tanks, artillery, and submarines. Israel spends more, flies more advanced jets, and relies on layered air defenses and U.S.-backed tech.
