Yeah it is funny seeing some people here claiming that Saudi strategic missile force is now obsolete and useless considerng it is the main branch in the military that hires Saudi engineers and by far the second biggest looked after force after the air force.
Yeah sure the force tripling in numbers since 2003 indicate that it is only operating the CSS-2 missiles. Right?
DF-3 (CSS-2) are obsolete and are expired. KSA can not make any missile itself. And now it can not import it either because of missile ban treaty which prohibits the sale or transfer of technology for missile with a range greater than 300 Km. Maybe they are making a museum there for the expired and rusty DF-3's. That is the only explanation since KSA has never even tested a single ballistic missile in its history.
