Made in KSA

[Philip the Arab]

The UAE has made one already..

I see what your talking about but this Yabhon Thunder is a lot bigger than what I was talking about. I'm sure the thrust needed is very high while the one I was talking about is only about 30 pounds of thrust needed while I'm sure the thrust needed for this one is at least a few hundred pounds. The premise of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Cost_Autonomous_Attack_System is to be a sub munition of 4 launched on one big missile and then the missiles separate and they would be effective against a number of targets and be very cheap. Its thrust is 20 pounds less than the KJ-200 Jetcat which you told me about http://tdi-engines.com/tdi-j45/#spec The warhead of the Yabhon Thunder is 287 pounds while the LOCASS is only 17 pounds. Imagine 20 of those loitering on the battlefield destroying tanks left and right. It is only 3 feet long think how small that is.

Take a look at this, 20 of these can be launched from an F-15E https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/locaas.htm

 

[The SC]

Saudi Arabia has contributed to the funding of the Captor AESA radar program as well as a partner in its development through King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) Center for Sensors and Defense Systems since 2011. KACST is the national and main research center in the Kingdom​

Eurofighter E-Captor AESA Radar​

The King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) has signed two contracts with Selex Galileo. These contracts include delivery of Selex Galileo’s PicoSAR and cutting edge ESCAN radar technologies for joint research, development and demonstration purposes, and a series of training and industrial participation modules centred around Selex Galileo’s world renowned radar expertise.

looks good.. but there are some cluster submunitions that do the same and much less expensive:

 

[The SC]

Are you sure the KJ200 can only power something less than 20 kg? If a 30 pounds of thrust turbojet can power an 100 pound missile shouldn't a 50 pounds of thrust one be able to power one with ease? I could be wrong or it has not been tested.

Those are the company's specs.. not mine.. besides, they come in different thrust power..

That is the Mokopa isn't it? I remember a post called Matar-4.

It is a derivative..or a Saudi development of Mokopa..

Turkish laser guided 2,75" missile Cirit is also in the video? what is that for? Afaik SA is not interested in that weapon.

Turkish Attack chopper with firing Umtas, Hurkus CAS fighter firing Cirit ahahah. All made in KSA..

I don't know if that's a joke or what that means but a attack helicopter isn't as hard as you think to make. Hell, the South Africans made one by themselves. Secondly, your hurkus isn't anything special the UAE is making a trainer and CAS jet just like it with cooperation with Brazil. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novaer-Calidus_B-250_Bader

Make your dream come treu then. You will learn the hard way, nobody will give you critical part. From Flir to avionics, the most what ksa can and will do is nice assembly line wher the parts will come over sea.

Many things today can be done by TOT. Aircraft wings for the F-15 have been manufactured in Saudi Arabia which is impressive since Israel does that with its F-35s. How did South Africa manufacture all the things by themselves with minimal help from Israel during the age of Apartheid? They realised that if they didn't manufacture their own armaments they weren't getting any from other countries because of the arms embargo and the same thing can happen with countries in the Middle East and just because you stereotype about Arabs doesn't mean it's true because many foreigners call them lazy oil sheikhs etc;. Flir and other advanced things can be imported what matters is that a majority is manufactured domestically that is not as advanced.

@The SC what do you think of very light jets for transport? Saudi Arabia could replace their VIP jets with them and they have the capacity to make them. If an An-132 can be made for transport I don't see why a one of these can not be made by Taqnia with cooperation from another country or company of need be. Here are some examples that have similar thrust to the engines developed by the Saudis. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_Citation_Mustang

I think it is very positive seeing Muslim countries racing producing home competition like Saudi Arabia vs Turkey. It look irritated compare to each country but this race is good race . So you should not get mad or we should not when members bragin about their own products that would make you us push for more..and we should not let politics hate each other. Good luck Saudi Arabia

South African Rooivalk uses French engine and transmission.

AN-132 would use Aselsan avionics , I dont know what will happen in this political circumstances.

I know the Rooivalk does use French technology but without French permission and most subsystems were developed by South Africa. Even the Chinese make things under license such as their Z-9 which is nothing to be ashamed of considering how good Chinese defense industry is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbin_Z-9
I don't remember seeing the flight avionics for the An-132 provided by Aselan here is a picture which shows it provided by Honeywell.

Well ksa brouchure is faking it up, ther will be Turkish avionics in that transport lifter.

Imported and then put it on, like that? I am afraid you are playing to much game. Why is KSA not asking for TOT like the THAAD missile, ask if they share you with Seeker of the missile. Are you comparing flir with a simple wing?

South africa is not making everything by himself, South africa is not a country that ever will be face a ambargo like the middle east countries. They are making some stuf butt that is everything, like the rest of the world they need help of the west for technology. They don't need to invest a lot off like us Turkey. We have more technology and projects then south africa. Is that your get o way, when you face ambargo going to everyone who sell you the weapon? KSA is lazy country if they still think like this, things will never change.

Pathetic nothing more....
