They are most welcome in KSA. Wrong. This is the emblem of the General Security Aviation Command (KSA). A very small branch of the RSAF. Its main task is internal security. Mostly in relation to Hajj and Umrah. They are using Sikorsky S-92, Eurocopter EC 145, CH-46 Sea Knight...

States don't trust other states by default. Every state is on its own at the end of the day. When a state comes to the aid of state x or y it is always due to a carefully calculated analysis of whether such aid is in the best interests of the state that is providing it or not. Also KSA is not...

@Philip the Arab The speed at which Halcon has been developing and transforming itself has been impressive to say the least. A lot of the projects are still in their infancy but Halcon has the resources, vision and ambition to continue to expand and reach new heights. Including critical...
