US announces 6.7-bln-dollar arms sale to Saudi Arabia

[United]

I hope u do realize we have 2,250,000 km2 to protect we are in a region with the most military action taken place since ww2

we need to grow no amount of power projection weapons are enough in this age and in this place...and yes we need to do more joint ventures.

May Allah protect "al-Mamlakah al-ʻArabīyah as-Suʻūdīyah"

Saudis have founded a maintenance center with foreign help, is this what you are trying to proof? If so, we should compare the super oil rich Saudi Arabia which enjoys huge profits from selling oil to 3rd countries with small states like Serbia or Georgia. (Serbs have more cutting edge technology comparing to Saudis btw)
It still doesn't change the facts that KSA is buying weapons for nothing but keeping Western arms industries alive.

The facts, only ‘the facts’ and not your pleasure. Not maintenance center only but also with progressively ‘a complet technology transfer’.

Yeah, sure. Then what is the result of this technology transfer?

Is there any future plans to build a Saudi jet engine? -Nope
Is there any academic publication about jet engines? -Nope

People are overestimating technology transfer. Don't you believe me? Ask Indians.

You can find proper argument instead of posting some random links and insulting my brain. The reality is sheiks are buying random stuff just for their passions.

brother it called u keep me in power i give u oil dollars it not accident Saudis are not stupid basically USA is mafia boss keep Saudi in power and mafia gets a cut Saudis ripping off the masses.

Saudi Arabia should have use the money to develop indigenous weapon factory so that they can build their own weapons. Providing this money to US will just keep their Military factories go on. Already lots of American troops lost their jobs because the USA don't have enough money to have such huge amount of soldiers. By the way, everyone said the same thing. What I want to add is Saudi Arabia should be independent on defence technology. If Saudi Arabia really want weapons so much, then why don't you buy it from China or better Pakistan,Turkey! Same thing I said to Azeris. As far I know, Saudi Arabia is buying some cargo jets. (Yahoo news). It should remain this way!Billions of dollars are going away and those dollars are going to be used against us. It's inconsiderable. It is must Saudi Arabia have to build their own Military factory. You got so much money,even you are the beneficiary of Hajj monetary. This is not the way to use those resources. Here we are fighting to keep balance and there by one step you destroy our whole efforts.

I want to know why we have to look at the cost of war clock everyday! So that, we can take down the West and US. This website is my part and parcel.

We need to circulate weapons among us and strengthen each other. This will not only destroy their Military factories, give our Economy a great boost and we will learn how to save ourselves from upgrading those.

it wont dont u people get it they have the printing press as long as oil is traded in dollar they will have the power who care if they have debt they will not pay it back and will do restart on debt just like in previous world war. best to move to barter trade and gold and silver currency. This is way the dollar will definitely will lose it value right at the bottom plus the dollar will not able to buy proxy groups that cause havoc.

 

[Edevelop]

Way too much money......

 

[Azadkashmir]

Saudis invest all their money into American banks so if USA dollar collapses lolz Saudis will lose their investment, USA got free oil lolz.

As far i know when any one buy from Saudi, it pays in Saudi Riyal and when any one buy from US it pays in US dollars.

However when countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh export.. it is them who do not like to sell in their own currency.

While it's absolutely rubbish, to say that without Saudi Oil US dollar, may have limited in its value to any thing less than what it has been or is today.

If any one is interested to see the magic of US dollar he shall visit Iran... simply unbelievable.

 

[Azadkashmir]

the Iranians have it backed up they trading India for gold for oil. see this currency exchange slows down our economies and it not balanced dollar higher than ours let face it there is no difference between third world and first world both countries produce goods and if the argument is used they produce better good well not always and the reason why their good are better is cos we use lower end currency so everyone supports western products even though western world gets it resources from third world. let say in Pakistan we produce good agriculture livestock why is American livestock more even though it on steroids and has more fat than real meat. barter is good people like zardari cant produce they fall down easily.

 

[Bubblegum Crisis]

I don't know who the hell is Saudi defence minister, but it is clear that he is an idiot. Replacing cargo planes which is relatively new is something unacceptable. Even if you want cargo planes, do something good and finance some random Turkish, Indonesian or Pakistani company for a brand new project instead of buying stuff from West.

Always with the same reason. Conditions contracts, ‘technology transfer’ with a ‘interaction technology’.

There are so many economist in this forom who eagerly wait the fall of Dollar and still then holding their feet in the land of Dollar to earn as much as possible...This is called height of hypocracy...

Dude...I feel that SA and its government is not so fool that it is buying so much of expensive weapon to USA when it may not badly need it...Definitely SA and GCC states has long term vision with which they are working on it due to which entire Arab nations in principle side with US and NATO in spite of the present perception in Islamic state that USA is presented -vely in Islamic people.....

Here in the PDF foroum which is primarily dominated by Pakistan members and hard core Islamic members where posts are discused with the view of anti USA and anti India perspective...For most of the members in this foroum ....India,US and Israel are global threat...and of course i respect their opinion....But the problem is that once you go outside this PDF world, for GCC nation and in particular Saudi Arab...It is not India/USA or Isreal who is the global threat to their nation rather...It is Iran and its allies seems to be threat to them...Hence it is a matter of perception what each nation sees for its security...

USA and NATO will never present any kind of challenge for SA and GCC nations to lead the Islamic nation, rather USA will be very much happy if SA and GCC state lead and dominate the show in Islamic world...

Hence the bottomline is threat perception is defined by each nation based on its long term statergy.....And if SA and GCC nation want to lead the show, they want to be a partner of West rather than the enemey.....They may not see US and NATO as their rival rather partner of their progress....So it may be the reason they are spending money in buying weapon from USA and NATO nations rather buying from Pakistan and BD...
