Saudis , in recent times have purchased great amount of fighter Jet , and this have bridged the gap with Pakistan Airforce greatly , infact one can argue they have more Tier1 /Tier 2 planes vs Pakistan
For Pakistan the Block 2 , JF17 thunder would certainly make things bit more interesting however Pakistan really need to retire the Mirage 5 fleet soonest
Saudia do not have amply amount of Tanks so they are weak in any ground offensive but they have great ability from air due to Apache helicopters to offer protection to their limited assets on ground.
The Saudis do enjoy wonderful advantage on Transport capabilities , and Refueling Tankers, also they have Awacs
