Good news. Do we know what the percentage is currently? If it approaches 15% by the end of 2022, a 4.375% annual increase until the end of 2030, would be enough to reach the 50% goal. Of course there will likely be bumps on the road but even say 40% by 2030 would be amazing considering where things stood in 2015 for instance.

Anyway I have no doubt that KSA will reach that goal within the next decade.

Everything but I think more on smart munitions ATGM PGM Cruise Missile Ballistic Missiles. So more on missile industry. Plus they are localizing also in drones (indigenous projects or JV with China)
