most of us know about the american army's strength, but what about the military strength of the islamic state of iraq and the levant?
ISIL uses a highly mobile form of warfare striking enemy forces like lightning. ISIL army units were able to move from mosul to the outskirts of baghdad in just 2 days!
this form of high mobile warfare is made possible by ISIL mechanized and motorized units that uses armored military vehicles such as the humvees and other unarmoured military vehicles.
total warfare. ISIL's military size is about 2 divisions. ISIL utilizes mass recruiting both within and outside of the regions they operate in allowing them to form one of the largest army in the middle east.
economic might to support total warfare. recently ISIL acquired over 400 million dollars along with many modern weapon systems, chemical plants, and oil facilities which puts the total asset of ISIL at almost 3 billion. eritrea, a country that had defeated ethiopia in the past has a GSP (nominal) of 3 billion.
according to source: http://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing-africa.asp the ethiopian defence force is the #3 military in africa. that means ISIL's economic power is at least on par with the country that defeated the 3rd strongest military in africa!!!
i can only conclude that the ISIL military is a powerful force. i rank it in the top 10 among other middle east military contenders. ISIL has already won fights vs iran's elite quds force and former top 10 syrian arab army.
