I will be on the side that KSA should be increasing their Regular army to 700,000 men and make it a rotary force which will be doing duties on border security as well on regular basis. More over KSA should be doing JV with EU countries on developing Arms and equipment needed by Soldiers.

Useless man better instead concentrate on having highly mobile disciplined special forces such as SNG with strong firepower and air-cover.

Besides the SNG is around 150 thousand and Saudi army another 150 thousand so today saudi arabia has around 300 thousand ground troops that is quite a large army .

I personally think best for saudi to have total active troops of around 400 thousand and a highly trained reserve force of around 200 thousand .

I no longer have an affection to Gucci mayne!

Funniest part yesterday saw video of afro-american gangsters fighting for al-nusra wearing basketball adidas sneakers and one of them had tupac shirt on .

mut3a chicks prefer gucci man at least save some for the next bahrain trip .

N.B. He wasn't a major general then.
 
please explain what are these missiles range and cep

Chinese DF-3s...I believe 3000-4000 KM range.

This person has three stars rank and still young, around 27 or early 30 I think, I bet he is from royal family, isnt it ?
He's a captain. Saudi ranking system adds crowns to the stars for ranks higher than Major.

Then why do Kingdom has such a massive tank force? :o:

Because most of our terrain is large, flat desert.

Not really, every country has use many exercises, what do you think? Saudi doesn't have experiences in any war last 40 years except recent war with Yemen terrorisms (another Muslim brother). Saudi just purchase many US technology and then display them in amazing exercise, that's it.

Please keep remember yourself Iraq had superior technology more than 2000+ tanks, 450 aircrafts, 1,668 armored personal vehicles, 1,650 artillery, and vice versa during Gulf War 1991. Old days Iraq took alot of prides of these technology which will be same on Saudi Arabia and its similar trainings along with Arab countries.

You just see exercises pictures here that make you feel so good?


Middle finger can be cut off easily, I will ignore it. ;)

Iraq's "superior technology" didn't exist.

The vast majority of their tank force was obsolete T-55s and Chinese knock-off Type 59s and 69s. They had a few downgraded export version T-72s as well as their very very bad knock-off Assad Babel T-72s which were a knock-off of a badly downgraded tank. The M60A3s in Saudi service at the time were better overall.

Their aircraft consisted of obsolescent Soviet aircraft such as Mig-21s, Mig-23s and Tu-16s with a few french Mirage F1s thrown in. Their most advanced aircraft was the Mig-25, a complete generation behind the F-15Cs used by the RSAF and USAF.

They took pride in their numbers, not their superior technology.

Sorry bro. :(

Just telling you the truth, it doesn't make any differences to Saudi Arabia's security, in the past wars you know Arab countries strongly believes in superior technology that were defeated and they will fail again even.

Which isn't true. Arab countries always were at an technological disadvantage or parity during their wars with Israel. I think the only examples of superior technology was the Egyptian SAM net and Wire guided anti tank missiles of the 1973 war. Otherwise, their tanks were badly lacking (T-55s versus upgraded Centurions and Pattons?) and they had nothing to match Israeli F-4 Phantoms.
