and sir i do believe saudi Arabia pilots now are as good as any nation..and there hardware is more superior to the Israel..the real issue is the will of the kingdom to intervene in any conflict
also israel nows it..so it also wouldnt attack israel..so in he end i dont see any scenario of a conflict between these countries..
as saudi Arabia has a very very power full line of kings (due to huge royal family and democracy within the family for choosing kings), i dont see any change. Even if a change comes, by the time US will have closed military support meaning most fo the hardware will become useless in a time of few years after their change..we all know conflicts dont occur within minutes of changes. Thats why its imperative for saudi to develop indigenous weapons in joint ventures with Chinese, Brazil,Russia, Turkey and pakistan etc
Americans kept the Egyptians in check, because they knew the govt can fall.
Israel can not sustain a war that can go for months let alone year. Militarily speaking Israel has no Strategic depth. Here is a lesson:
Each nation has three lines in warfare:
1-Defensible Military Bases. In which that a military base where ever it is has a certain degree of defense depending on its location and purpose. (Not enough to rebel invasion)
2-Defensible borders: Meaning that a country has the ability to rebel an attack but it has to win in few week maximum after that its war machine is exhausted and the war is lost.
3-Strategic Depth: Only few nations in the world enjoy the privilege of strategic depth. Strategic Depth means a nation can fight a war as long as there are people living in it and can accommodate its land for the war effort in such a way that war will not be won by invading forces unless all corners are pacified accordingly. This depends on the size of the country, population, provisions, nature of weapons employed by such nation etc.
Israel does not want to abandon its occupation of 67 borders mainly to maintain "Defensible borders" since Israel has NO Strategic depth which means it can not sustain a long war. One of the reasons Israel took control of Sinai was to give itself Strategic Depth by increasing its land. A privilege it no longer has. So my point is regarding our enemies in the region (Israel,Iran) Our war machine will not be exhausted before Israel so even if US pulls support if we are able to sustain the war for as long as possible by inflicting the maximum amount of damage Israel will surrender, However going to war against Israel automatically means going to war against the US which means it is impossible as long as the US is there.
Regarding Iran, We will be able to sustain a long war for years, thanks mainly due to Iran's policies which is dictated to it by its revolution. Egyptian's weakness in this matter stems mostly from the word "Military Aid" which means most of their equipment are coming as "Gifts" from the US meaning you don't know what in them and they get to decide what it has and what it doesn't and in time of conflict they will not be able to even access black market for their needs.
About military industry I say again rest assured, Expect a 180 degrees shift in your mentality through 2020.

actually Sir you missed my point..i was referring to that for every able male worker there is one foreigner..out of 23 million population half(45%) are not in working age(18-60) while other half are women..so its actually 5-6 million working age men in saudi arabia..
and its impossible for anyone, if he is a man to get saudi nationalism even if he marries there....
It is not impossible Saudi Citizenship is given to scores of people daily. The Citizenship office is one of the most crowded, if you carry out a careful research you will see. But I said before it is extremely hard NOT impossible. And regarding your Job analysis many things are on the way but I repeat through 2020 expect a 180 degrees shift in your mentality.
