Why start a thread on old news

 

[Trailer23]

What are the chances?

Is that a trick question ?

What do you think, Storm?

KSA is one of the biggest customers of the DoD. All they & UAE need to do is give their shopping list - and watch the ball roll.

Forget all the petty Politic that may go 'bout in Congress and their lame @$$ excuse for Human Rights.

A well known Nation is violating all kinds of Human Rights, but you still see the Americans knocking at their door. Its called: Looking the other way.

KSA = Deep Pockets
USA = Show me the Money [Jerry McGuire]

At the end of this meeting, Mark Esper probably asked, "What color would you like it in?"

The only issue is that this is old news, so Saudi probably lost interest in it.

That was an intentional question, Given that i am well aware of all the obvious thoughts you presented, The OP having an arab origin, Might have something interesting to share, since we are not much into Arab defence and all, We miss things many of the times as they are just too involved in FREQUENT big ticket purchases, makes their news irrelevant and nothing Surprising unlike our tarsi hoi awam and inventory.

How old were you ..8 months ago?

What are the chances?

I wish it happens

I believe it will happen..
Most likely 48 of them because there are recent rumours around that KSA will cancel its demand for 48 more typhoons for the F-35..

The UAE wants 24..it likely that is why it did not purchase the Rafale .. I believe it will get them too..

Any idea about possible numbers and the timeline ?

Why?

The guy is an open follower of the Mullah Farsi Wilayat al-Faqih regime (ruled by self-proclaimed descendants of Arabs) so of course such news is traumatizing even though the collective firepower of KSA and the GCC is many times larger not to mention that of the entire Arab world (no comparison to begin with).

Given the many ongoing strategic projects in KSA alone (drones, ballistic missiles, work on indigenous defense systems with partners such as Ukraine and China, purchase of THAAD and S-400 etc., huge investment in space (KSA has already had 16 satellites in space and is working on more launched from within KSA with Saudi Arabian missiles - just the political element is risky, I believe this ability already exists, joint Saudi Arabian-Brazilian turbo jet project completed, uranium extraction, 20 + nuclear reactors being built, huge upcoming naval modernization, further strengthening of the already powerful RSAF, huge and valuable experience in an actual modern war/conflict in Yemen etc.) and there are a lot of reasons to be angry about.

Anyway the sect that he subscribes to, resolves around obsessing about KSA and Arabs, even though that sect of his is "made in Arabia" in every shape and form.

Let him be consumed by his hatred, we move on.

If Saudi Arabia ever gets the F35, we may see the first ever F35 shot down.

I would if I had not seen him spamming 2-3 Saudi Arabian/Arab related threads just within the past 1 hour on this section and the Middle East and Africa section.

Yes, KSA should start shooting down civilian airliners full of our own citizens a few km away from our capital and parade North Korean and old USSR tech (slightly reversed) as our own while using gullible Shia cannon fodder/terrorist proxy groups from across the world to fight wars that we have no ability to fight on our own in our name. Yet to win a single war against Arabs as well.

I want to remind you of the fact that KSA has much more powerful missiles with a bigger payload and a much longer range (been the case since the 1980's courtesy of China) and in the meantime KSA has been working on its own ballistic missile force so every sane person can imagine what is in the arsenal as of 2020), than anything Iran has and a stronger missile defense system and a much larger territory. Wars are not won by missiles either. Not that there will ever be such a war even though I am sure that you would be a cheerleader.
