Do you know of any surface to air missile projects in KSA or Arab world in general? With radar developments in KSA there needs to be development of surface to air missiles asap.

The Grom project have some anti-air missiles.. also most Denel executives and scientists are working now fo SAMI in Saudi Arabia.. so we might see something like A-Darter or even better..

Good news, simple is still useful today. I think recoilless rifles have the best chance for the future in combating APS due to high speed of projectile.

Grom-2 is a Tactical Ballistic Missile, which can operate with several variable warheads including cluster and high explosive warheads.

In addition, the steering system is able to reach its target in different climates, with a CEP rate of only 5 meters.

The missile is capable of carrying 480 kg as a conventional warhead or 54 cluster munitions (7.5 kg each).

The missile has a ballistic flight pattern between an altitude of 11 - 50 km from the surface of the earth and thanks to the distinctive design and flight system the missile is capable of avoiding and hiding from air defense systems.

Saudi Arabia is in the middle of receiving first components of the Grom-2 ballistic missile, which has been jointly developed by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and Ukrainian Yuzhnoye Design Office, to conducts first firing test in September or October 2019, a Saudi military source told Defence Blog on 3 January.

The first batch of engines, spare parts and different conventional warheads were delivered to Saudi Arabia for the first phase of the test programme,” said the source, adding that the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces is expected to have the first Grom-2 ballistic missile system ready for use by 2022
