Those are some serious goodies! @Mosmania, all manufactured locally?

 

[forcetrip]

If manufactured locally, I am impressed and jealous at the same time. Saudis are finally getting there act together with the small steps. Kudos.

Yes they are. I didn't post things that are Assembly and what not.

Yes they are. I didn't post things that are Assembly and what not.

Wow, I mean well done then! Specially with the APG-70, that is some very serious stuff.

Not to be an absolute basterd and a sour puss but this doesn't come across as the work of an 'upcoming defence giant' ! HEC Taxila and PAC Kamra produce more or less the same things and they can't be called 'upcoming giants' by any stretch of the imagination !

Don't get me wrong these are fine...fine goodies worth every penny invested in their development and manufacturing but its still a long way to go before the title of 'a giant' can even be contemplated !

Yara, giant or not - Some stuff is really mouth-watering, such as APG70 panels and electronics. Not to forget LAMAH data link!

Very basic stuff , I mean displaying controls from 70's fighter jets or , paid for technology assembly units
I mean real stuff is , building something that no one else yet has ... when Saudis does that sure you can claim to be up and coming

And you need 8000-10,000 strong company not just 10-20 odd workers assembling stuff most of technologies mentioned are , bought technologies and the personnel are merely - reverse engineering or just putting items together

Yes its impressive to see this work in Saudia but I think Saudia is still 20-30 years behind in term of technological or engineering sector

Do you have list of Saudi Companies from which other nations are purchasing goods , etc radars, or weapons system or simulators

If that is they case then yes Saudia is way ahead but most of stuff looks like they just bought it , nice stuff don't get me wrong but .. this is not "creating something"

A logical Step would have been that Saudia-Pakistan would have jointly developed a fighter jet or Helicopter program but anyhow ...

Still very good stuff , compared to how things were in 80's and 90's for Saudia
