Question:
I have a question that I’ve been asked many times
and I didn't know how to reply so I am hoping you can
answer it for me. In the ilgha war which side had more
weapons and which side had the best quality weapons?
Answer: During the ilgha war, the army
had 25,000 soldiers, 450 tanks, 600 M-113, more than 500
cannons of all caliber, and choppers. The LF on the other
hand had 2,500 operational soldiers, 100 tanks, 200 M-113
and around 150 cannons. So the army was very well equipped,
and had more material and more ammo and more soldiers.
And in addition to all this, they were prepared for the
battle since July, six months before it happened. We were
not prepared; we were totally taken by surprise.
What made the difference is that we had better soldiers,
and we were inspired. We are warrior-poets, and we fight
for a cause, for our homeland, for our families. The army
soldier fights for his salary at the end of the month.
Military experts from all around the world witnessed the
battles we won against the army, and they were surprised
with what we did against them. They only had one comment;
they said that our levels of courage, stamina, and inspiration
were at the top.
