Tremendous. Those turbine blades alone are a feat of engineering in of themselves. The understanding of the metallurgy associated with fabricating them is whole science on its own.

That last one is an underwater laser weapon?

Just some form of R&D laser..KSA wants to make its own laser weapons..And already testing some..

Maybe China gave them some ToT for the laser system.

 

[Trango Towers]

We will buy the best weapons and invest in the latest technology with whom we see as "the most suitable for us".. whether China or the United States or other countries,. We will not limit ourselves to one resource.

Days of MBS on this planet are numbered

Why?

 

[Trango Towers]

Why?

MbS humiliated Biden and now the Saudis are talking an independent policy.
This is not acceptable to Rome

If Muslim world was united, Saudi money and Pakistani engineering mindset could've achieved wonders.

IT ALREADY DOES building tall buldings and living in slave camps.

One needs to find out what the term locally made implies precisely. Sources I found seem to be suggesting the plant is assembling them in Saudi Arabia. If this description is correct, then chances are that the most complex component i.e. the turbine blades will have been manufactured in the west. Assembly itself supposes certain local engineering skills. Only did a quick search now, perhaps additional light could be shed on this aspect by a more knowledgeable user.

In line with the provisions of the deal, one of the gas turbines was assembled fully at the GE Manufacturing Technology Center in Dammam.

Assembling then maybe in the future more % of ToT. More they will have experience more they will produce indigenous projects.

 

[Azadkashmir]

saudia arabia with all its money only assemble how many years has it been since 1970s.

Not true that much. Most of the years they were buying without having an indigenous industry (assembling, production). But now they are having a plan to produce locally 50% of their equipments in SA.

still sh it for the amount of money they got and get, plus the influence they have. They are worst leaders world has ever seen, maybe pakistans leaders beat them.

Everyone was shit at the beginning. It will take times to times to establish a good defense industry. And sometimes it is bearing its fruits.

look at egypt with its poverty, still manages produce good output.
