No. Sorry but profoundly incorrect. KSA faces threats. But even a casual study shows that most of these threats are nominal from within the Arabian Peninsula. Meaning Oman, Yemen, UAE. You don't need F-15 advanced Eagles let alone F-35s to take them on. Just a basic force is sufficient. The real threats are from Iran or previously Iraq. For that KSA will rely on USA as it has done in the past. It simpled hired US military.That is true to some extent
Yet KSA continues to buy $100s of billions in hi-tec defence purchases. The only sense it makes is it uses these purchases to buy lobbies with US military/industrial complex to cement it's relation with America.
