[explorer9]

In some ways this reminds me of the build up of modern weapons By the Shah of Iran before the revolution

Must say, surprised to see Iran's automotive industry (total production) just below Russia, 14th position.

Signs of an fully industrialized economy to come, God willing it will be so.



Iran does not have to target whole UAE or even GCC... Just destroy the de-salination plants by a massive missile strike and whole population will die out of thirst and UAE would literally be begging for Iran's mercy...

Yeah that's the thing with UAE, everything is so vulnerable.

They don't have any water so they have to use de-salination plants (easy target), they have very few power plant(s), their port is an easy target, downtown Dubai is ONE missile away from saying goodbye to foreign investment forever etc...

Man wtf are you talking about? You're living on your own little planet!! Where's your air refueling capabilities, where are your support planes etc... Israel can't even pull off such a mission and this guy is up on a pedestal screaming like a mad man!

Heck, the minute the jets get passt Abu Mussa, half of UAE is under a cloud of smoke and there won't be any runways to get back to. How are these jets going to refuel? That's what I wanna know! At best, a bunch of power stations down south will be taken offline. Iraq's airforce with all its might couldn't do **** and they were sitting beside Iran. Unless you're United States of America, you need to sit down and stop making retarded claims. The GCC has a perfectly capable airforce when it comes to defending the GCC. There is no power projection capability what so ever.

We have 6 MRTTs. 8 KE-3As and 7 KC-130H. Which makes us operators of one the biggest Air refueling tanker fleets in the world.

And why do you always consider UAE to be alone?? Iran if it tries any stupid stunts will be faced with all the Might of the GCC what will it do after that?? What keep sending missiles?? You really think someone in Iran presses a button and that is it they have won the war and everything is awesome and that crap?? Oh How I WOULD LOVE I mean REALLY REALLY LOVE if Iranian military commanders thought like you the upcoming war will be a peace of cake watching those Iranian soldiers going "Oh $hit they told us they will run away the moment we face them but they are killing us all oh $hit oh $hit" The looks on their faces will be priceless.

Exactly. I do not know why they threaten Iran every now and then. Can't they just tolerate a Shia Iran and live at peace?

I think UAE/GCC would back off about the issue. Iran clearly has the advantage and God willing they will succeed.

Interesting, I'll have to study some more about the king of Iran. ;D

I honestly do not think it is the differences in religion or sects. After all if Sauds can find friendship with Jews and Christians why they can not be friends of Muslim Iran.

I do hope Saudis have thought through long term changes as Pakistan has found that if you do not do what the Americans want they put on sanctions and will not sell spare parts etc to these weapons like they did with Pakistan the nineties

Yea that is what scares Arab leaders that they will end up with the same fate as him and their own people might overthrow them

duudeeeee wahabism man

Their entire existence is justified by Iran and shias. Putting us on the correct path, whatever the **** that is, is their only mission in this world.

It is amazing that everyone EXCEPT Saudis want an overthrow of the government. Actually the insults and stuff coming from you lot firmly asserted my belief that Sauds are actually a good thing. If the people who hate us want them gone that means they are doing an awesome job and should stay.

And really Welcome back with your presence the BS scale in the forum will rise once again to all time high.

This is called Narcissistic Personality Disorder you should get it checked and treated ASAP.

The 10000 million suicide bombers who have targetted shias, the actions of Saudi Arabia against Iran, the Iran/shia centered works of your mullahs and the speeches that they give, wahabism, the opening of your air space to Israelis against Iran etc... all tell a different story.

I don't see other Arabs give two shits about Iranians, but I see you guys obsess over us and our religion like no tomorrow, hence:

duudeeeee wahabism man

Saudi wasting up to 30% of groundwater - scholar


By Bloomberg
Monday, 27 September 2010 12:18 PM

Saudi Arabia, the biggest Arab economy, is wasting as much as 30 percent of its finite groundwater resources by using outdated extraction methods, according to a water expert.

“Saudi Arabia could reduce the amount of water wasted to 5 percent if it changed technology,” Mansur Abahusayn, a visiting scholar at the University of California, Irvine, Urban Water Research Centre, said at a renewable energy conference in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.

“Groundwater is under very heavy pressure because Saudi Arabia has a large inland population.”
Saudi Arabia’s eight aquifers contain 1,825 billion cubic metres of water, Abahusayn said.

This will run out within 200 years at current usage rates, whereas new technology would allow the country to conserve supplies for 400 years, he said.

Saudi Arabia, the biggest oil producer in the Middle East, is increasingly concerned about the high consumption rate of its natural resources.

Domestic use of oil and natural gas is growing faster than the kingdom’s population and economy, central bank Governor Muhammad Al Jasser said on Sunday.

Replacing groundwater with desalinated water, produced hundreds of kilometres away at the coast, would cost 8.8 riyals ($2.35) per cubic metre, Abahusayn said.

Saudi Arabians used 5.5 million cubic metres a day of potable water in 2007, Abahusayn said.

This will rise to 9 million cubic metres a day in 2015, and 13 million by 2039, he said.

About 55 percent of the supply comes from seawater, while the rest is from groundwater, he said.

No man I think it is just a few Arab familys who are worried about losing power that's why they are purchasing so many weapons

In the Arab world, saudis are known as robots. Whatever their royals, excuse me gods, believe, they believe. The literally think Iran wants to resurrect the Achemenid Empire so they have to get ready!!!! lmao talk about insaneeeeee

.

As usual your education and intellectual agility prevents serious discussion. We do not hate or dislike Arabs. It is the corrupt leaders that we are critical of. And you speak neither for all Arabs or Sauds just yourself.

 

[mosu]

there is no danger to saudi there is no war
this is just boost to american economy by purchasing weapons
from america and israel

There are all necessary in case of war.
