@Yzd Khalifa but it will not be a Silent Eagle which is low visible from front to radar and had 15 degree tilted tails?

No, in terms of the stealthiness, I believe the Silent Eagle is above the SA. But still, the SA version is semi-stealth.

Why KSA don't went for Silent Eagles?? it is also available as upgrade to some older versions of F-15s.

It seems that KSA have missed an opportunity to have a super stealthy fighter in the region first, they should have gone for Silent Eagle configuration of stealth it offer, because in future Israel will be fielding 5th gen planes (F-35) and those could have hope to give them though time in air war if ever happened, now KSA have spent billions of Dollars and still they are stuck with 4.5 gen planes and it may not be easy for them to invest more to purchase 5th gen plane as they are very expensive and relations with US are going hot n cold now.

The Silent Eagle remains as what it is 4.5Gen just like the SA, the only difference is that the SE has stealth features in terms of weaponry systems, while the SA is semi-stealth elsewhere.

Idk why the Saudis rejected the SE. But we won't remain un-stealthy for too long. The F-35 program still has a massive amount of tech issues and bugs.

Silent eagle project is fading take it as a test subject, the major design will remain the same but nobody is buying so it is going down the history like F-20.

@Yzd Khalifa: Why KSA went to German 209 if they were not going for U-214s or U-216 then they could have Augosta-90Bs from Pakistan which in future will integrate LACM in its subs which even KSA can get.

Good suggestion.

The issue is that neither the Royal Cabinet or the FM or the MoD take the German seriously. We don't really wish to do business with countries which change its decisions every month or so. Ironically, Most of the time it's them who approach us offering their equipments whenever we place a tender or so.

Thusly, if there is going to be procurement of a submarine force, the French would be the best we could do business with, or maybe the Brits, South Korea, or even Spain.

As for our cooperation with the PN, I think it is worth mentioning that we've been working with our friends on all fronts, that we even maintain a sub on a stand-by in Jeddah sea-port.

@ Yzd Khalifa what kind of sub? and for what purpose? also will KSA provide its front line fighters if Pakistan go to war with India?

what kind of sub? and for what purpose?

Could u elaborate a bit further on this?

also will KSA provide its front line fighters if Pakistan go to war with India?

I don't think there is going to be another war between India and Pakistan. They both settle the score in 1998.

In the past, KSA did put its Naval equipments and Fighters at Pakistan's disposal, maybe they might come at a time when they need them the most, every country does of course.

I was referring to your above post about sub.

India and Pakistan can go to another war as India is preparing its military to fight a war under threshold of nuclear war tipping point. They are working on CSD doctrine with new name and water may become next reason for war.

Cant see you tube link in Pakistan please post some other link if possible, also please tell us in detail what kind of equipment KSA had allotted or provided to Pakistan in times of war as many Indian think its a myth and KSA will not help Pakistan in war with India.

It is not confirmed but there could come 2 possibilities; french submarines or if and if there is possible investment in JF-17s than we could see similar subs that PN is looking for from China but these are all speculations and currently it rests all on KSA if are serious and willing to...we all read news of Pak offered to KSA invest in certain military programs of which 3 are JF-17, submarines and tanks but i think personally it is an offer solely on part of Pakistan we do not know how deep the interest is from the other party.
