[BHarwana]

Can I ask what is the threat for purchasing this RADAR. and what interceptor missiles will this RADAR use.

Radar system be be using multiple interceptors - and can such as a regional missile defense radar

KSA will become a nuclear thresholds state in the future. Just a question of time. Other Arab states will follow. In fact Libya and Iraq would likely have been nuclear powers today if not for outside interference. The Arab world cannot be ignored for much longer given the demography, economy and future demographics and economic and military prognosis.

There is much that your likes have no clue about. We like it that way.

Now find another thread to pollute with your idiotic nonsense. We don't care what some Arab-obsessed South Asian, African, Eastern European or whatever you are based in the UK thinks of nonsense.

In the real world the UAE is a few months away from having a functioning nuclear power plant (not many countries even have that to begin with - some nuclear armed states do not) and once mastered it does not take a genius to become a threshold nuclear state. Iraq and Libya (with all due respect to them they have not even close of the financial power or population of the GCC - especially back then or educational sector back then for that matter) were a few years from becoming that "ages" ago.

So scream some more genius.

I know that but you cannot use S400 with this RADAR so which are available with it?

 

[NKVD]

Yes It can be used By S 400 or Any other Missile defense system

 

[DavidSling]

I know that but you cannot use S400 with this RADAR so which are available with it?

it can be integrated to work with S-400, or any other missile system for that matter.
One small fact that one need to see, that's UHF radar

It can be integrated but the question is will Russia provide the source code for integration. NO. So it will be Patriot and what else may be Arrow 3 and etc.....

U.S solely made interceptors in my opinion.
Arrow 3 is not related such Israel nor GCC will accept such a sale

Then it is not good, Isreali interceptors are much better and cheaper. The best combo would have been Russian S 500 with this RADAR if Russia allowed but that will become way expensive system as those missiles cost a lot. There is already THAAD deployed in the area in UAE so this RADAR must be X-band for separation and detection of MIRV system's war-head.

I will not say which system is better, cause neither was actually proven itself in combat.
There's alot of propaganda regarding the russian interceptors online, just or not, people should be careful praising them

I think I should go to sleep coz three times I have read the title as "Deal reached for Qatari early morning letter" .... ciao

Patriot has been tested and has reported to miss scuds fired by Yemen. Israeli have been tested and proven good against Hezbollah missiles plus Israeli system costs less in regards to per interception. S 500 is the best must admit it as it is based on multilayered system.

I fail to see how it's the best, since it's didn't prove itself in actual combat.
Other russian systems failed to shoot down Israeli aircrafts before, why would this be any different.
As for multi layered system, I can take Iron Dome, David Sling, Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 and call it blabla, will it be the best system around?

Have I ever said that Israeli system is not good. It is very good and is effective for missiles but will fail in case of MIRV as the derby along with RV makes it difficult for the Israeli system to detect. S 500 can detect and shoot down MIRV but it becomes too expensive.

Even though some members argue that this radar is part of the GCC missile protection stratgy, I don't agree with this assumption. Qatar is much closer to Turkey than to Riyadh in terms of foreign policy goals and military cooperation.

Late last month, Turkey’s first foreign military base in the Middle East opened in Qatar to counter what officials called “the same threats.”
http://www.voanews.com/a/turkey-opens-first-middle-east-military-base-in-qatar/3323653.html

They decided to buy this radar just after Ankara and Doha greenlighted the establishment of a Turkish military base in Qatar to protect them from Iranian and Saudi hegemonism. Qataris are very well-known for their hard feelings towards Saudi Arabia. During the 90's the Saudi Kingdom even publicly questioned Qatar's sovereignty. Even some deadly clashes on the Saudi-Qatari border occurred.

However, a 1992 clash between Saudi Arabia and Qatar claimed three lives; Qatar accused Saudi Arabia of attacking a border post at Khafus, while the Saudis stated that the clash took place inside Saudi territory between Bedouins from the two countries. In 1996, Saudi Arabia and Qatar signed a border demarcation agreement, and the two states completed the process in June 1999, signing demarcation maps of their common borders.

The Americans have already a large base in Qatar. I do believe that this radar purchase is connected to Nato and Turkey.
