Saudi Arabia Tells Its Citizens to Leave Lebanon

[Aristus]

4. From a purely hardware point of view, Saudi Arabia has the advantage on the ground

over Lebanon. S.A. has the M1A1s and 2s we sold them, and a fairly well-trained ground force. Lebanon has some rickety old Soviet-made T-62s which were state-of-the-art in the late 1960s, but no match for modern tanks.

They are awaiting delivery of more modern tanks such as the German Leopard and the old US-built M-60. But so far, they're stuck with a force far inferior to that of Saudi Arabia.
