Saudi Arabia Launches First Home-Made Speed Interceptor Boat & Floating Dock

The Commander of the Royal Saudi Navy Forces, Admiral Fahd Al-Ghufaili, affirmed that the localization of the speed interceptor boat systems is an actual and realistic embodiment of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which comes in accordance with the directives of HRH the Crown Prince to achieve the strategic objectives of localizing the military industries in the Kingdom, including improving efficiency and effectiveness of supporting localization of local manufacturing, aiming to significantly raise the level of industrialization of military equipment and systems through the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI).

He further said that from this standpoint, Zamil Shipyards has succeeded in signing an agreement with the French CMN Shipbuilding Company in order to develop the company’s capabilities in the field of shipbuilding and speed boats, in which the French CMN reflected high credibility in this regard, with full commitment to the application of the highest standards of quality in the engineering of building boats.

He added this agreement is part of a national project aimed at developing the industries sector and that was done thanks to the efforts of GAMI and its pioneering role in building a sustainable local military industries sector that results in economic benefits to localize 50% of the Kingdom’s military spending by 2030, so as to contribute to strengthening and localizing the military industries.

This batch of speed interceptor boats system, the first batch manufactured locally, comes as an extension of previous batches received by the Royal Saudi Navy Forces from the French CMN Group through an agreement signed between the two parties that includes the manufacturing and supplying of a number of speedboats of the type (HSI32), of which a part will be manufactured in France and the other part is manufactured and its technology is transferred locally to the Kingdom, within the framework of joint cooperation between Saudi Arabia and France in the field of military industrialization and cooperation.

Portable 3D Scanning UAV radar was successfully tested for 2 days to detect unmanned aerial vehicles at different altitudes and maximum range..for the ability to identify small targets with a small radar cross-section. ..Also a high-mobility metric wave radar MR-1 and the counter-battery radar complex 1L220UK had been involved in testing. Tests on these radars were conducted under agreed program and also provided full confirmation of the claimed UAV determination characteristics.

As the director of the Iskra Research and Production Complex, Yuri Pashchenko, said: “After the factory tests, we successfully completed the last phase of testing the 90K6E radar for the ability to identify small targets with a small surface. Positive results of these tests open up prospects for export - we already have a customer in one of the Middle East countries. The ability to identify unmanned aerial vehicles is one of the main requirements of the customer.

The target for identification during the radar tests was the Raybird 3 unmanned aerial vehicle, which was operated by Skyeton specialists is a small-scale, large-production unmanned tactical aerial vehicle that is used for a variety of long-range missions and search and rescue operations; The flight has a maximum altitude of 3000 meters and can develop at speeds of up to 160 km / h..


*Raybird 3 is a project belonging to the Saudi Braq company with SKYETON ..

On October 14, 2019, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) announced that it had agreed to cooperate with the Saudi company for technological development and investment (TAQNIA). The question relates to the development and commercial use of the Russian space launch complex "Start-1".
The agreement was signed during an official visit to Riyadh by Russian President Vladimir Putin

https://topcor.ru/11482-raketu-start-1-budut-stroit-na-investicii-sauditov.html

For this purpose, the Russian Corporation for Direct Investments and the Saudi Company for Technological Development and Investments will cooperate in providing financing for the modernization development process to which the "START 1" missile will be subjected, and then use it for purposes that serve the interests of both countries.

The two countries will jointly create and produce additional components for the "START 1" missile.

The "START 1" missile is in the family of the ICBM "Topol" strategic missile system.
There are two types of "START 1" missile, to carry a weight of 850 kg and 500 kg to low orbit (400 km).

https://mobile.sabq.org/Dy5c36

The Military version of the RT-2PM2 Topol-M missile with a range of 11,000 km is an ICBM..The 1Mt detonation warhead uses the GLONASS guidance system, which incidentally was included in the Russian-Saudi space conventions in Memorandum of Understanding in this regard.
The speed of the missile is approximately Mach 22..

* Saudi Arabia signed an agreement with Ukraine nearly 10 months ago for cooperation in the peaceful field of space..It also signed an agreement with Russia for peaceful cooperation in space..And signed with China the peaceful space cooperation..

Also, Saudi Arabia has established a space agency..
