Saudi Arabia to double its Typhoon order

[Yzd Khalifa]

Thats why i am not much sure about JF-17 export to Kingdom, if it happens, then it will be a miracle or KSA will just inject few million $$$ to help Pakistan.

The National Guards was upgraded last year from a presidency into a minister. As such, the SANG never operated an air wing of its own to this day except a few unarmed helis.

The JF-17 would be the best candidate to fit in their requirement as they happen to be rookies.

Adding more Typhoons will be good for KSA as it will increase their top tier fighting capabilities, but it will be their wise decision if they purchase JF-17

No more Typhoons will be procured as long as other options are left on the table.

 

[Informant]

Why would Saudi Arabia buy the JF-17?

They can buy the most advanced Fighters in the World from Euro Fighter, JF-35, F-15, etc.

JF-17 is no where near as technologically capable as these fighters.

Point Defense doesnt require expensive frontline jets. These are the Defensive force, the SANG. Also what better way to kick start their own aero industry.

 

[Superboy]

I see Typhoon and JF-17 operating in a hi lo mix. Sort of like how the US operates F-15 and F-16 in a hi lo mix. One is a twin engine plane, another is a one engine newer and more advanced plane.

He's been repeating it all over KSA-related defense thread.

There are three possibilities to identify such behavior:

1- He might happen to have a personal issue with us, leaving it all to his heart to take over his thoughts.

2- He's probably a very disturbed guy, with jealousy.

3- He's trolling.

All three possibilities are worse compared to one another. To add water to his bigoted mud, the attempts to underestimate the modest performance of the JF-17 are as ugly as you can never really imagine.

He needs ganja, off topic btw have you tried pot?

I think he needs to chill out

Yes, I have. I don't really like smoking pot tbqh as I happen to be a heavy smoker.

I now realized that it is better that a Saudi Arabian women is not coming near you (!)

Why you hurting me baby?

 

[Kompromat]

How many in total?

 

[Arabian Legend]

How many in total?

The total would be 144 if the deal gets finalized.

 

[UKBengali]

Who is Saudi going to fight that it needs so much fighters of this calibre?

To me it seems like a waste of money.

 

[ACE OF THE AIR]

If I am correct BAE systems did not allow KSA manufacturing rights for the Typhoons. Is it possible that they will be allowing KSA these rights with this deal along with the Trench 3 updates?

Depending. Some parts have been taken care of locally, while others haven't, I guess that's the assembly thingy ..

Same goes to Germany, Russia, Italy, Australia, China, Japan, and Singapore and so forth.

We live in the most volatile part in this world, whereby some Savages threatening us every now and then.

If that's what you think then be it as it may.

Depends on what contract are you referring to. For example, Boeing was more flexible than BAE. We are now building several parts of both aircarfts. Here some ToT and JVs we ran with our partners:

Just to be fair, for the sake of the argument, SK is head and shoulders above all South East Asian countries in terms of military technology barring to China and Japan. I hardly think we can compare their industrial complex with ours at least for now.

Good to hear that......

 

[Indos]

How are you going my Indonesian brother?

Still expecting even closer ties with the Arab world, in particular the Peninsula and Indonesia so we can strengthen the ancient ties.

You are very right. Asking for TOT is crucial.

AlhamduliLLAH very good.....thank you brother. Yup, I think in 2020 many muslim country will be much much better in term of economics and military capability. Indonesia for instant will be similar like India today in term of nominal GDP by that year insyaALLAH (based on OECD recent projection). Saudi will also be much better in term of economics and military capability (including Saudi defense industry) insyaALLAH . Saudi and Indonesia can make some huge impact in the Muslim World if we get closer and closer. And I believe also that in that time the world will be more fragile than Today. We should be much much closer. And Indonesia is becoming more religious day by day. Even according to Pew research (USA based research center) and our domestic research, 60 % of our people want to have syariah law....More Islamic Indonesia means that we will be getting closer to the Muslim world.
