Is Saudi Arabia interested in the F-35?

.
I think you are right , Israel has been acting stupid recently , I don't know why but I think it's because they are bored in the confinement they are in , but still you are right , Israel shouldn't declare war on nations like iran ;)

Attacking Iran isn't a picnic whereby BiBi takes his wifey to lick up his favorite vanilla ice cream. Israel can't achieve its objectives i.e. destroying Iran nuclear infrastructure collectively, if it could have done such thing, then it would have done it long time ago. That's why they need the US to carry the dirty work and all. Consequently, I don't believe that Iran will remain silent if attacked, according to the INTL laws, Iran has the right to retaliate, it's an act of war, similar to the Pearl Harbor attack by Imperial Japan.

Better would be to join in Senor and other Avionics/Electronics development with EU and US which are the main components of weapons and other platforms similar thing for Pakistan, UAE, Jordan and Oman.

No , iran wouldn't remain silent , she would act like a total gypsy if attacked.

If KSA's Airforce could catch up with 5thGen fighter jet program, aside from the Eurofighter and the F-15SAs, then, cool. Do you think they really can? /:

That's what I was implying. I'm a %100 against any military action when it comes to Iran, because I know things will get ugly.

Saudi Arabia is spending so much money so that they can catch up not to get ahead. I hope they keep this up.

:smart: KSA's defence budget includes everything related to defence and secuirty, in other word, the budget goes to KSA national security establishments such as the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of National Gurads and their likes. Say, for example, the Ministry of Interior is mulling about establishing a new hospital in any city in KSA, the cost will be deducted from the Defense budget, and so on. Moreover, the defence budget includes salaries, medical health care, and education. So, the defence budget isn't solely dedicated to the military, but to many services conjoined with the military.

It's not about crazed spendthrift Saudi politicians but believe me, services like hospitals are badly needed. Here in KSA. If someone was diagnosed with cancer, he doesn't have to pay a ripping off bill.

Turkey's record is well-known, it speaks for self bro!.

KSA should join a 5th gen fighter program and forget about the overcostly,poor performing,worthless peace of crap(F-35).
Maybe someone knows of a 5th gen fighter program,cause i cant remember one now(im sure there are some:azn:).
ps,forgot the wink.

People seem to forget Israel is not the only country with 5th gen planes in the region. Iran has already developed a working prototype and plans to induct it in the future.
