Incredible ambition. I'd love to know where along the value chain they'd be able to make meet that 50% domestic production target.

Yes, it is a very ambitious goal which is needed.

What's up with the nose of that An-132?

What's up with the nose of that An-132?

Most likely a a pitot tube

Total pressure is the pressure felt by a surface facing the airstream and is the sum of static and ram pressure. Static pressure is the pressure felt by a surface aligned with the airstream and is like the pressure reported in the weather report. Both are needed to measure the aircraft’s indicated air speed, and the static pressure measures its pressure altitude.

In subsonic flow the air ahead of the aircraft is influenced by the aircraft's pressure field, and at high angles of attack and high wing loadings this reaches out quite a bit. The pitot tube can only measure total pressure when it points into the flow direction. Ahead of the aircraft, the local flow angle increases the closer you are to the aircraft, and this increases measurement errors, because now the pitot tube sits at an oblique angle to the airflow. A longer pitot tube reaches farther out into still relatively undisturbed flow, so less compensation is needed to arrive at good values for total and static pressure. In early flight test, the pitot tube is much longer again, because the compensation factors are not yet established.

They eventually become smaller

King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) today unveiled in Riyadh the strategic drone
program (Saqr 1) in Arabic صقر 1.
Prince Turki bin Saud bin Mohammed, President of King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), stressed the highly advanced techniques used in this aircraft. He stated that Saqr 1 is equipped with a ka satellite communication system that gives superiority and privilege to this aircraft.
It can fly for a range of more than 2500 kilometers with the ability to carry missiles and guided bombs with laser system and launch from different heights from 500 to 6000 km and a range of up to 10 km with an accuracy of less than 1.5 m.
The UAV is capable of flying at an average altitude of 20,000 feet and has a flight time of 24 hours.

Well, maybe. I don't see why the rest of the nose is orange and curiously shaped. Pitot tubes don't need that much instrumentation.

from different heights from 500 to 6000 km

Low and high earth orbit. Nice.

Maybe they wanted to give it flair?

A 2 engine prop transport with flair?

Also, the orange coloured part of the nose has a different shape to the original nose.

It is not going to be on the finished product so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Saudi's do what they want.

Well I know, I was just teasing

Turkey, Ukraine and Saudi Arabia to co-operate on maritime patrol variant of AN-132

Ukrainian national defence group Ukroboronprom, Turkish defence electronics group Havelsan, and Saudi Arabian technology venture Taqnia have concluded an agreement to work together on the creation of a maritime patrol and surveillance variant of the Antonov AN-132D aircraft.

The agreement between the three parties was signed at the IDEF 2017 exhibition in Istanbul on 10 May. It comes two years after Saudi Arabia agreed to procure two AN-132D aircraft for use in airborne electronic warfare roles and four for search and rescue operations.

The aircraft was developed as a westernized variant of the Antonov AN-32 ‘Cline’ transport aircraft featuring engines from Pratt & Whitney Canada, avionics form Honeywell, life-support systems from Germany’s Liebherr, propellers from Messier Bugatti Dowty (Safran Landing Systems), and auxiliary power units from Hamilton Sundstrand.

Looks like we need to start signing some MoU's...

Can you provide a link for the production of the Ingwe ATGM? AFAIK it's a South African ATGM.
