Thanks 7abibi.
are there any more details about this budget, like what percentage is spent on what category?
Also, İ am interested to know how much it cost for you guys to buy Eurofighters? Actually, we are in a need to upgrade our air force, and İ want to know how much it would cost if we order eurofighters like Saudi Arabia.

Yeah I feel you, me also got lots of work to do. Lot's of exams every now and then. Wish ya luck.
Al-hilal is playing against Sydney. There lots of hope that we will win the game. Im very optimistic about it.
Al-ittihad is doing very good job this season despite the difficulties they have been going through since he past three years. Me don't care about the local league at the moment. I just want Al-Hilal to win this cup.
Yeah I watched the game, we could have won the game easily. The goal Uruguay scored was the fault of one of the defense players. Nevertheless we performed well. Yeah Im still in Canada just got back form home after Ramadan.
I subscribed to all the Arabic channels over here so that I don't miss anything, plus I can watch online over the internet if I was not at my place. Tomorrow Real Madrid is going to win. Get yourself ready buy some napkins.
I got 1 very important exam coming up this December and 2 other in January and I have been slagging a bit for a while on top of that. Some appointments too for next week and the week after.
Yes, I was very surprised by the performance of Hilal against Al-Ain at home. I thought that Al-Ain would advance but luckily they did not and lost very clearly overall.
Yes, honestly speaking I have not followed the local league much either just the results. It's quite hard to watch the local league here despite streaming and satellite that I have.
Yes, me too but Uruguay also had their chances but overall a good game. I am convinced that we will do better than in recent years were we have been bad. I mean the period after we lost to Iraq in the AFC final in 2007 until 2012/early 2013. After we got that Spanish manager things have been steadily improving. Frank Rijkaard was a bad idea.
Still a lot of nonsense in the federation IMO.I was back during Ramadan as well but this was a long time ago. I thought that you were back recently?
Let's wait an see. We will defeat Franco CF and Suárez will score!
Anyway honestly speaking then I can't predict who will win. Normally I have a favorite but for tomorrow there is no real favorite. Both teams are in good form. Especially Neymar and Messi and the crybaby Ronaldo is impressive as ever. Don't know what motivates that guy.
Must be this;

The EF cost around $123ml per unit £4.4bn for the 72 units deal with the TOT and assembly at home but later the facility at home wasn't ready so the assembly has been put off. But the issue here is that how much does it cost for load, maintenance, training, logistic support etc. Here is what you need to look at. Right now only Saudi Arabia has EF support facility outside Europe and will be taking care of the EF other countries own like Oman, later Bahrain and Qatar if they go ahead with the deal.
Im sure if Azerbaijan go for the EF it will have its own customization and specification. Here you have different prices based on what you are welling to procure.

I think you are interested in KSA's budget for procurement. I think It should be between %20-30 of their annual defense budget.

Actually there was pricing and contract issues, the price has sense gone down significantly from 123M$, not to mention that the UK added an extra 20% increase to price for the full ToT, which was about local production of the aircraft that turned into a complete support and upgrade facility run by local companies. The price after the contract issues is not publicized, but what is known is that the EF will have the capacity to upgrade to Tranche 3 in the updated contract.
Also the updated contract included local maintenance and spare parts production of the EJ-200 in the recently established Middle East Propulsion Company. And complete avionics maintenance and support by Advanced Electronic Company, which included the purchase of copy rights and property licenses which increased the price. But it's worth it I think in the end.
The military is building like 6 new hospitals this year, also they are building 2 dams and 2 new military airports and airbases, as well as building 4 land bases in the southern and northern borders, they were approved this year so I think they are behind the increase in budget this year.

They are military hospitals, staffed with ministery of defense staff, and there are SANG hospitals staffed with SANG staff. and the military owns airbases obviously, 2 new airports are being built by the ministry of defense and another 2 airports for fixed wing aircraft (for some reason) are being built by the SANG. Dams are built by the military in locations with heavy military presence. Like Taif and Khamis Mushayt etc.

Projects like this also increase the defense budget, not all of KSA's military budget is weapons and bombs etc. the Saudi military plays a huge part in Saudi civilian life even.

@Arabian Legend
Congrats. As I feared you won today. I had a friend who travelled all the way from KSA to attend this game with his parents and 1 brother. I feel sorry for him. Must be a real let down. If I get the time I will probably go to Barcelona as well this season to watch a match in the Champions League or something.
Can't really complain. You were quicker in thought and action and Isco and Pepe were fantastic while most of "our" players choked horribly. The difference was not as big as some want to make it out but still it was a deserved home victory.
Thank God that I don't have the time to scrutinize the game and all the news after the match. People such as Tomás Roncero are probably unbearable right now. Google that guy.
Al-Hilal lost (1-0) in the first match against that Australian team away from home. I did not watch the game so can't tell if it was deserved. Do you think that they can win the title despite this result in the return leg at home? It's a bad away result. 2-1 would have been better. Away goals tend to be very crucial in such close encounters.
Regardless of what then KSA shows time and time again that we have the best league in Asia together with Japan and South Korea.

Indeed he is bro, indeed. We don't always agree with him politically but I always liked his juvenile spark, offensive approach when necessary and honesty. That guy genuinely cares not only about Palestine (although it sometimes can appear as such) but the Arab world, ME, Muslim world and probably the world as whole.
We need someone that can insult both the Arab world, Iran, Turkey etc. when necessary and expose our hypocrisy sometimes. We can do the same with Hazzy when necessary and have done so too.
He can go overboard sometimes but who can't on PDF? I mean we have all done it ourselves. The funniest thing is that "terrorist" mark that he has, LOL. Like Hazzy is ever capable of doing such a thing.
I don't know what happened but it is a shame that the ban seems to be THIS long. He also had a good grip on our "Tengri guy" whenever he goes overboard if I am not around and the other Turkish trolls.
