This is an issue that came up recently during one of the threads
here. Which is more important military technology or having a solid
soldier using outdated weapons? Let me give you this scenario.
Country A and Country B are identical in terms of national wealth,
population and other issues. Both have a equal amount of defence
budget. The difference is that Country A uses that defense budget
to buy and develop highly capable and modern weapons. So we’re
talking top of the line equipment like modern MBTs,MLRS, air
superiority fighters,IFVs etc etc. Country B on the other hand uses
it defense budget on training its manpower. As a result, Country
B’s soldiers are better trained, more garang and tough, its general
staff is more effective and its doctrine is more defined. Given
that all other factors are equal, if Country A and B were to go to
war, who would win?
