"Domestic suppliers currently support 32% of the Typhoon industry with an expected increase to around 60%"
The manufacture of the parts is not limited to Typhoon fighter planes, but also includes parts and components for the Hawk T.165 advanced training aircraft..
All this from previous deals of the Typhoon and Hawk aircrafts, one can imagine what will happen in light of the second deal of the Typhoon fighters under the localisation of military technologies strategy of the Kingdom led by the Crown Prince and Defense Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has just signed memorandums and agreements with the British side..
The expansion of Saudi industrial participation and the transfer of aeronautical technology is the title in this transaction, according to the BAE Chief Executive Officer on this occasion. Therefore, these 48 fighter jets will be assembled domestically and will be in the Saudi production line already existing in Dhahran, where the second batch of 22 advanced Hawk T-165 aircrafts are being assembled..
They already have the most potent/advanced air force in the region along with Israel.
Very good initiative by the Saudis. WIN-WIN cooperation. Haters gonna hate though."Domestic suppliers currently support 32% of the Typhoon industry with an expected increase to around 60%"

I think yes.. because it was announced a while back that it was operational..
Which Muslim country(with access/financial capability) doesn't buy weapons from foreign powers? lol Buying weapons from abroad is normal, many countries do. So why pick on the Saudis? What i find rather puzzling is that whenever the Saudi sign any deal with any western power, they suddenly become puppet or agents against Islam(never mind that they have one of the most strict Islamic laws in the world and they are the ones who even converted most of you to Islam since it originated there in the first place) etc etc., but when another country does the same you people don't label them with such names. lol I don't think it's fair to be honest. You can resent a country and their government but at the same time you can learn to know when to criticize them and when not to. Especially bringing things that have nothing to do with a subject just to tarnish them. At the end of the day, the Saudis are looking after their own interests like any other country in the region, its not their fault that they have more money/financial power and access to the best military products they can afford than most of you people in the region. Cant blame a rich man for being rich and a poor man for being poor.
True
LOL
Interesting, i didn't know that it came with all this package. Seems KSA is gearing to localize he production of weapons in future. That's good news. Seems this young Saudi prince is really shaking up the country for the future. U.K Saudi relations will only deepen these coming years/decades. Interesting.Update: Not just buying Typhoon planes, but a British pledge to localise the manufacture of more than 20 percent of these aircrafts locally in KSA..
Crown Prince and British Minister of Defense sign bilateral memoranda to strengthen partnership of technology transfer, industrial partnership and training..
I am not against Saudi buying weapons. I am against Saudi buying weapons to bomb Yemen. These aircraft will be used to bomb people of Yemen.Which Muslim country(with access/financial capability) doesn't buy weapons from foreign powers? lol Buying weapons from abroad is normal, many countries do.
