- Yes.. cute and potent..
- No better choices than the AK-103 in all circumstances reliability ..KSA is also making German assault rifles under license.. The AK-103 is not as cute as the Western ones.. but more efficient overall..
- I guess more than one type of missile.. KSA will match every Iranian made BM with better technology.. so at least 6 or 7 types of BMs.. plus long and medium range cruise missiles..
- Indeed good and important news..just few nations can make all kind of advanced naval engines..

2200 FPB boats for the Saudi Navy with some ToT..
On November 19, 2021, French shipbuilder Couach (Chantier Naval Couach) launched the first 2200 FPB fast patrol boat out of 12 ordered by the Royal Saudi Naval Forces for critical infrastructure protection missions.
This new program comes a few years after the delivery of 79 different vessels for the Saudi Ministry of Interior, and reaffirms Saudi Arabia's confidence in the ability of the Couach shipyard to provide robust, high-performance vessels.
Designed and built by Couach, the boats will carry out the missions of protecting sensitive infrastructure, protecting maritime borders, and combating piracy and smuggling as soon as they are accepted by the customer.
The boat is 22.35 meters long, 5.6 meters wide and has a draft of less than 1 metre. Its two 895 kW engines allow it to reach a speed of 30 knots, an economical cruising speed of 15 knots, and a range of 600 nautical miles at 28 knots. The vessel is equipped with a 20 mm gun that is operated Remotely mounted in the front of the boat, in addition to the 12.7 mm machine gun in the aft, there is also an external control station on board the boat.
Since construction began in 2020, Couach has been able to maintain the projected schedule of the program despite the effects of the Covid-19 health crisis, thanks to the commitment of all its teams. The production rate will soon reach its target of one vessel per month, with the last vessel scheduled for delivery in early 2023.

Can the traditional Kalashnikov be converted to a modern rifle?
It is possible to “adapt” the clash to become a rifle more suitable for the current era through tactical accessories that increase the performance of the rifle.
These accessories allow the owner of the gun to "modify" it to suit his anatomical characteristics (hand length, grip size, and other physical characteristics).
These accessories also help, according to the tasks required, in the integration of the rifle and the fighter into a harmonious unit
Many of the accessories that have become available for the most popular assault rifle in the world can be divided into three categories..
- The first includes those that make the weapon more convenient (more comfortable and compatible with the holder)
- The second - those that change the shooting characteristics
- The third - that which helps the shooter to hit the target
Some of the accessories shown in the above illustration:
A pistol grip can be added to a cushion to increase or decrease its thickness according to the size of the shooter's hand
Tactical front protective grip "rails" with holes for adding accessories such as optics, hand grip and flashlight
The charging handle that comes standard with the gun is thin and short and can easily slip out of the hand if gloves are worn. A thicker handle with grooves is added to increase grip and traction
Switching between shooting modes.. The standard Fire translator with the gun does not allow switching to become one, but often you need to raise your hand from the trigger to change between shooting modes. The improved tactical type contains a bump that allows switching between shooting modes without taking the hand off the trigger
Your "fives" or the traditional "rigid" rifle butt, while you can add an adjustable telescopic fifth and extension according to the length of the shooter's hand
Some types of telescopic fifths are also equipped with an adjustable "cheek" that can help when shooting at long ranges with the cheek resting on it.
muzzle brake-compensator
The device can be installed according to the type of tasks. If the tasks are night, you need a non-split flame reducer (one of its disadvantages is an increase in recoil)
If the tasks are daytime, the muzzle brake with different holes can be used, which helps to some extent in reducing recoil.
Silencer
Its benefits are many, reducing the sound (with the use of subsonic shots) reducing and almost suppressing the flame and flicker
Picatni rails are important for installing various tactical accessories on the rifle
Modern aiming binoculars, their benefits are not hidden from any ram at distances exceeding 200-300 meters
Night vision binoculars, thermal binoculars, rangefinder
tactical flashlight
A tactical flashlight usually has a high illumination power and, when directed directly into the eye, can blind the enemy for a long time. Flashlights are usually shockproof and waterproof to withstand the vibrations caused by gunfire and serve for a long time If a fighter has to work in tough conditions it can have several brightness power modes including a strong dazzle mode which is convenient when a fighter breaks into a room and needs to Confuse the enemy
laser target designator
The laser target selector sends a laser beam that indicates where the bullet hits the target directly. And far away
Of course, good quality and high-priced devices can send two types of laser beam
The type that is visible to the naked eye
And the invisible infrared type that needs night vision devices to see it
Some modern devices contain a flashlight and a laser target finder with two built-in modes
These additions may not make the Kalashnikov a 21st century rifle, but they will certainly increase the performance of the rifle significantly.
