Isn't India kind of in the same position? Obviously they are in PACCOM, but it's hard to see them deploying outside of that other than CENTCOM. They have the forces, but I didn't think they had the kind of logistics to deploy outside of their immediate neck of the woods.
That's probably true, but they also have a MUCH bigger geo footprint than Turkey or Egypt, plus they're nuclear.
Just bc I was curious, I went a looked up some info on their overseas deployments
They
do have a few bases outside their country
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_military_bases_of_Indiabut most are listening/surveillance types
They've also got about 4500 troops deployed in Africa on various missions in support of the UN, plus another 1500 or so in the MidEast
So it seems like they can definitely do some brigade-level deployments, but could they ramp up to a sustained div-level one? Maybe?
Like Japan, I think I'd be willing to be convinced either way.
