This is a sign that Russian weapons are finding their way into the GCC area..
First we heard about the T-90MS being tested in Kuwait, then came the news of the UAE JV with Russia for a light weight 5th generation fighter and a serious possibility for sales of the SU-35 to the UAE, after which we just heard a $3,5 billion preliminary deal signed between KSA and Russia for arms deals and ToT, with intents for JVs between the two heard before..and so many other encouraging news..
