    Iraq bought T90 MS tanks from Russia

    That really hasn't been historically true. Simply because American tanks always faced last generation Russian equipment. With many American tank being built to counter the threat of a new Russian tank. The T-54/55 outclassed anything before it when it was produced, spurring the development of...

    Saudi Arabian Air, Land, Naval Forces & SANG

    Then I guess the F-4 Phantom II, that was used in Fighter, Intercept, SEAD and Bombing roles was completely not multirole at all. It bought it for it's strike capability. Even now, the Tornado IDS is an excellent strike aircraft. Saudi Arabia had F-15Cs and F-5 Tiger IIs in the Arsenal. It...

    Saudi Arabian Air, Land, Naval Forces & SANG

    Just because they first used the designation MRCA, doesn't mean it was the first Multirole combat aircraft ever produced. And it doesn't matter, the Tornado was placed primarily in the ground work role with the arrival of the F-15C in the RSAF. But go ahead, explain to me why Saudi Arabia...

    Saudi Arabia largest military exercise ''Sword of Abdullah''

    The F-22 was never intended for export to any ally. That's what the crap F-35 is for.

    Saudi Arabian Air, Land, Naval Forces & SANG

    Saudi Arabia has traditionally been uninterested in Multirole capability, preferring more specialized designs with no need for a Hi-Lo arrangement. F-15s for AtA and Tornados and F-15S for ground work. The F-16 doesn't fit into the composition.

    It's kind of a Ghetto. Not really dangerous though.

    Saudi Arabian Air, Land, Naval Forces & SANG

    I don't believe it was because it was single engines. Rather it was not an effective bomb truck. It couldn't do better in AtA than the F-15 and couldn't do AtG better than the Tornado so we didn't buy it. At the time of the purchase of additional Tornados, the Gripen was not yet in production.

    Saudi Arabia largest military exercise ''Sword of Abdullah''

    Chinese DF-3s...I believe 3000-4000 KM range. He's a captain. Saudi ranking system adds crowns to the stars for ranks higher than Major. Because most of our terrain is large, flat desert. Iraq's "superior technology" didn't exist. The vast majority of their tank force was obsolete T-55s...

    Saudi Arabia joins the killer drone arms race

    Eh, if the Chinese Drone can fly at a decent height, take some good pictures and land some missiles on insurgent bunkers, I don't care how it compares to the US Drones.

    Saudi Arabia largest military exercise ''Sword of Abdullah''

    IIRC, the G3 is being phased out in favour of the G36C But the closest land border to Iran is in the North East....the south east is the empty quarter... :o:

    Thanks for proving to me you'd rather spout cryptic messages rather than address the question.

    Saudi Intelligence head replaced

    I can't even go on a football forum to talk about the Saudi National team without Iranians coming in with insults or another. If Saudis are being force fed hate against Iran, then the exact same is happening in Iran because I seriously doubt that a Saudi would go through an "indoctrination"...

    World’s largest desalination plant goes on stream in Ras Al-Khair

    The water from our old desalination plants was not pure enough for drinking straight out of the tap. It needed additional filtering. Don't know about this new one though.
