Missile defense capabilities
The list includes seven batteries of the missile defense system THAAD, which is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. In the event of his arrival in Saudi Arabia, he is supposed to connect to a complete Saudi missile defense system along with the Patriot system (which Saudi Arabia is currently using to repel the missiles fired from the ousted president and Houthi militias) The THAAD system will be more specialized than the Patriot medium-range system and will be the biggest obstacle to missiles that may target Gulf nations..
Transport capabilities
The list also includes 20 new transport aircraft to Saudi Arabia, which will give the Saudi military strategic transport capabilities and enable it to transport a large number of its forces to conflict areas .. it is a huge leap in the field of long-range transport..
Capabilities of the Saudi Air Force
The Saudi Air Force is considered the best and strongest in the Arab region with its large and sophisticated fleet of fighters and the largest fleet of refueling aircraft in the Middle East and the largest Arab fleet of early warning and reconnaissance aircraft and electronic warplanes. In addition to these capabilities, Saudi Arabia is to buy five additional refueling planes and four early warning and reconnaissance aircraft..
The capabilities of the Saudi Navy
The capabilities of the Saudi Arabian Navy are medium and well-equipped, designed in the first place to protect the Kingdom's coastlines. However, they are not suitable for the Kingdom's position and regional role. They have no submarines and no real capabilities to deal with them, but this deal will change the previous view and will enhance Saudi Arabia's capabilities. It includes 19 helicopters UH-70B and Unknown number of P8 Poseidon Navy patrol aircraft and anti-submarine as well as frigates of advanced LCS type.
This is not all, it is just a small part of what has been advertised so far..
