تقارير: فرنسا ستزود الجيش اللبناني بأسلحة هجومية

What is important now is that they approved it and it is upon us to prove that we are worthy of it. By proving that the LAF are independent of HA will pave the way for more and better hardware in the future. So be thankful, remember they don't owe us anything. I am also hoping for some helicopters, fighter jets and anti-missile missiles.
Thank you France, please execute the deal.

anti-tank missiles and sophisticated surface-to-air missiles... really? is this what we need? this is a joke! Instead of sending armed helis,air to surface missiles,new tanks, tactical amunitions.... and more....
joke all you want on the Leb.Army the day will come when they will be armed!

Iran is not an arms exporting country. They provide custom made weapons to HA to be able to inflict as much damage as possible to Israel. They have some prototypes of jets, helicopters and tanks but these are not in mass production and still heavily rely on old (but upgraded) US hardware and some Russian and Chinese systems.

My post says that Iran is weak. Read again. They rely on old US weapons.

Exactly.... Like the mig29s fighter jets and helicopter gunships that hariri and elias murr assured Lebanon would receive from Russia! In the end the Lebanon will only recieved exiled terrorists and salafists for our army.

hey clown why dont you take it on then?

here's hoping these will be real weapons not outdated neutered crap, and that the deal will go through to the end. one can dream, but let's not forget they will never be allowed to supply us with anything that could worry israel.
Iran might have less advanced tech and you can criticize all you want, but at least they support us with the best they got.

Paris must have excess weapons due to canceled orders from FSA....

they are arming lebanon to fight more sunnis.

we'll get old milan and mistral, coz france developed new atgw for its army. Hope they'll be used to disarm Hezb-ebola...

i am sunni and against the arms of hezb-ebola, so i'll soon be called a cannibal, wahabo-sionist, ect...
On connait ta chanson FT, change un peu de disque/propagande...

1- if hezballa had good intentions towards lebanon and its army and seeing it needs all the help it can get from all citizens first before asking military help from outside, they could have surrendered their weapons to the lebanese authorities or at least negotiated selling whatever weapons they had to the government and joined the army long time ago.

2- since this didnt happen,the army emerging victorious from al asir's battle is going to operate alone in the future against more dangerous and hostile entrenched armed groups supported by rogue middle eastern countries, ranging from hezballa to the various palestinian factions to the salafists and the jihadists without forgetting to keep a constant watch on the syrian and israeli borders.
so and in order to perform this herculian task the army needs a lot of weapons and a lot of outside miltary might and manpower assistance and i dont think that is the kind of scenario the french and the british had in mind.

but the 1phoenix,
I thought M8 Govrnment does not heed the West. THey can not have it both ways. If they are going to behave like M-14 then step aside and let the original M-14 be in charge (we do not need someone acting like them).
