These are just a handful of the military vehicles produced in Muslim nations.
Produced? = assembled.
How about you read your own link you sanctimonious drongo.
How about you stop moving the goal posts you fool? Produced means made. They made those vehicles and in some cases carried out complext design work to do it too.
Using your rational,
Australia does not produce any of it's own defence materiale'. It only assembles it. Funny that, hey?
100% Iraqi-made MBT?There is a huge difference between producing an MBT from scratch and being an “assembler”. In between, there is license production, which requires much more advanced industrial capabilities, with perhaps reverse engineering on top of this. However, for propaganda purposes, it still useful for the morale of a population to say that a license production and assembly is the same as having a 100% indigenous-produced tank. This is the case with the Asad Babil, which was not only an assembly of a foreign tank, but also a mixed assembly of parts sold from abroad, and parts built locally (which were, as will become evident, beyond inferior quality).
In short, the Asad Babil was an Iraqi clone of the Soviet T-72M export variant but cloned with inferior materials, tools, and technical know-how.Tsk tsk tsk .... they couldn't build shyte.
They build more than Australia does. Egypt has produced M1 Abrams, APCs and other vehicles. Iran has done the same. Saudi Arabia the same. Iraq the same.
That's why there were so many of all the superior armoured vehicles & tanks laying abandoned along the Highway of Death. Most of which were "Russian" made.
Most of them were "monkey models" - downgraded and degraded vehicles.
At the same time as the Gulf War was occurring, Germany was reunifying. The West Germans inherited T-72M1s. After analysing them, they discovered they were invulnerable to all AT weapons in German use. The US Army disagreed initially but after examining the differences between the East German and Iraqi vehicles agreed that the East German T-72s were a cut above the Iraqi ones. Funny how reality trips you up. Oh, and of course most of the vehicles along the "highway of death" were crewed by Iraqi conscripts. When the will to fight breaks, so does the man...
Oh & if they were any good at anything how come they needed the west to find, drill & produce their oil .. that has made them filthy rich but still as technically dumb as dogshyte?
Because the West had the expertise. The Arabs and Persians had the oil. It was a marriage made in heaven until the Arabs and Persians woke up to how they were being exploited by the West. 1973, 1976 and 1979 occurred.
Much like yourself. http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/12/128170/2467911-yawn_20smiley.jpg And in the main ... that is entirely correct.
We assemble outsourced parts on nearly everything .... on defense equipment, farm machinery, suburban train units etc etc.
Manufacturing in Australia is just about history.
So ... far from "shifting" the goal posts I actually told the truth of the matter.
The Arab military gear is either outsourced materials assembled or fully imported.
As was pointed out to you any technical modifications they made were all of inferior standards & reliability.
You're full of shyte Brian.
