[Serpentine]

Thank you for this wonderful post. Iran has been by far iur greatest ticket to improve our Military modernization program unhindered.

Technologies and Equipment that were previously extremely banned for us became readily available with the Iranian excuse.

You're welcome.Anything else you want?

Hell yeah. World War 2 helped us with nuke weapons. Vietnam helped us with guided weaponry. Each war hot and cold pushes the envelope in weapons tech and will keep going. Depending on the situation it could go fast or slow in R&D.

None of those wars affected USA's mainland. If USA's mainland is attacked in a world war, it could be interesting to see what weapons technology could be developed by them under those circumstances?

Yes we want you to get nukes so we can get ones as well.

Perhaps Iran and Saudi could work together on nukes? Go phone your King Mossa ask him if he will agree. We as neutral Pakistanis would love to supply both Iran and Saudi at very fair price. It will stop Israel from its threats in the region

Buttty you're going to get us lynched by the West, the East and whatevers in between ! AQ Khan, allegedly, proliferated only a few blueprints for centrifuges and we were foOked....imagine what would a full-fledged 'nuke' would do to us ! So no...no nukes for the Saudis or the Iranians...not until we're in the same league as China and Russia and can, consequently, brush aside any such criticism without getting slaughtered in turn !

Now, there will no more problems with best updating tank of future model “Leopard 2 Tank” in the Army of Saudi Arabia.......etc

Ok i know you are trying so hard to market turkish-german tank to us, but just to let you know me and the other Saudi Arabians in this forum are not the ones who signing the contracts, so take it easy and relax, what ever you write to us here have zero effect specially if you know we are not descision makers that signs billions of dollars contracts...

on the other hand Saudi Arabia is buying Leopard A27+ (not Leopard 2 pr Leopard A4 etc), this one is only manufactured in germany and it is the latest and most modern model of Leopard tanks, even german army did not receive them yet, first we need to increase our arsenal of 5th generations tanks, then after that when we have like 2000 5th generarion thousands tanks we might look for cheaper tanks to increase the numbers higher.

any way, acquiring the best tank in the world for your land is the best choice to make

leopard 2A7+ is the best tank in the world with out any doubt (for those who knows any thing about tanks not internet experts who read numbers and evaluate weapons from arm chairs), its the only tank superior to Abrams, i'm glad we got it fully upgraded from the germans as well, since the US rarely sell us a fully upgraded weapon.

...

Now, there will no more problems with best updating tank of future model “Leopard 2 Tank” in the Army of Saudi Arabia. Not need help (Desire) from Germany in the futur.

The Turkey has already done all the best updates on the “Leopard 2A4 Tank” to new standard “Leopard 2NG” (Next Generation). They have all the necessary expertise and will continue without difficulties to make those new updates.

I repeat it again in situation some people have not properly understood.

The future “Altay Tank” has for origin two great brothers. Simultaneously, the Leopard 2 Tank (Germany) and the K-2 Black Panther Tank (South Korea).

The K-2 Black Panther Tank of South Korea - the main model of Altay Tank (South Korea TOT) - has been fully designed and developed under the leadership of Germany by a total transfer of technology (Leopard 2 Tank TOT). So Altay Tank will be their equal fully.

But, the Saudi Arabia buys a large number of “Leopard 2 Tank” now because it needs immediately again tank for ensure its security pending the “Altay Tank” will be finally completed.

But it's a certainty. The “Leopard 2 Tank” was selected by Saudi Arabia for in the future directly interact with the technological industrial defense of its ally Turkey who masters already this technology fully.

Ok i know you are trying so hard to market turkish-german tank to us, but just to let you know me and the other Saudi Arabians in this forum are not the ones who signing the contracts, so take it easy and relax, what ever you write to us here have zero effect specially if you know we are not descision makers that signs billions of dollars contracts...

This has absolutely nothing to do with what I want or what you want. This is based only on facts.

First of all, the new standard “Leopard 2NG” (Next Generation) - updates “Leopard 2A4 Tank” made by Aselsan – is identical capabilities of “Leopard 2A6” and almost similar to Germany high level “Leopard 2A7”.

Turkey over tens of years has become masters this technology fully on the “German Leopard Tank”. By its own hard work. And now she has all the necessary expertise and will continue without difficulties to make those updates all NATO standards, what specifically needed KSA.

KSA has chosen specifically the “Leopard 2A7+ Tank” - rather than the new M1 A2SEP (System Enhancement Package) of USA yet available for equip KSA - for in the future directly interact with the technological industrial defense of its ally Turkey who is now masters of tank technology (Totally, once the “Altay Tank” completed). Why? For get now its total military strategic freedom independently of interest USA with its tank M1 A2S, currently in the KSA army, but without any technology transfer.

The May 24, 2010 in Ankara the KSA government signed a agreement strategic military history for Training, Scientific and Technical Cooperation with Turkey. In the biggest arms companies in the country (TAI, Aselsan, MKE, Otokar, FNSS etc&#8230, equipment together of future implementation collaborations common (TOT and R&D) in the development of new weapons with the Turkey government.
