Saker 2, 3 and 4 are still under research and are not complete yet, however we can see the difference between them which is mainly in size,

You can see Saker in the front with Saker 2 furthest back and Saker 3 closest to the camera, Saker 4 being furthest away.
We only know for now that Saker 4 size is 7 Meters cross wings.

Saker-4 seems a MALE UAV. I know that KSA decided to develop an armed UAV on it's own after USA had refused to sell the predator. But, UNITED-40 designer said that KSA bought it, then why not to buy it's TOT like USA and Russia? then develop it locally. You know, to save time.

The nature of my absence is not of anyone's concern.

I don't think anyone of them is supposed to be armed, not yet anyway, however Saker 4 being huge as it is might have some potential in that aspect despite it being a small one.

Welcome back Mosamania!

I wanted to ask...Saudi Arabia has so much wealth..yet it is not industrialized..Why is it? If you regard Saudi rulers in such high regards, how you explain that they almost wasted national wealth in luxury (personal luxury and also national)...They should've industrialized and spread industrialization in other parts of Arab World too...

We are a country with borders, all that matter to us and should matter to us is what is within our borders, Arab world or not that is just hogwash that's first.

Second of all who the hell told you Saudi Arabia is not industrialized? We have a very strong industry that is only set to increase in due time, On Saudi rulers that is a different topic for which this is not the place for it.

Neither you nor I decide that. Common sense and states relations say that KSA is part and parcel of Arab world. KSA never hesitated to support them.

Yep, ARAMCO and border guards already bought quantities of Saker-1.
