A photo appeared on foreign social media recently showing photos of Pakistani JF-17(China code FC-1)fighters being tested in Saudi Arabia by Saudi F-15 fighter pilots.
According to Pakistan’s International News, General Saudi Arabia’s Royal Air Force Commander General Mohamed bin Katebi appeared in the official residence of Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Pakistan, Abdullah Zalani, at the end of last month, telling reporters that Saudi Arabia is The study asked Pakistan to order a large number of JF-17(China code FC-1) fighters and "Super Marshall" trainers. The Pakistan Air Force Chief of Staff, General Sohail Oman, was also present.

As the world's No. 1 oil-producing tycoon, Saudi Arabia's military equipment has always been widely used. So far, the Saudi Air Force has owned and purchased 72 "Gale", 72 "Typhoon" and 154 F-15, all of which are in the West. The top double-engine heavy-duty fighter, and the Snapdragon is just a lower-priced single-shot light fighter. So, with such a luxurious fighter configuration, why is Saudi Arabia suddenly interested in this single-engine small aircraft?

Saudi Arabia is the world's number one oil producer, but it also leads to its economy is extremely dependent on oil, especially since 2014, due to slowing Chinese demand, US shale oil mining, Russia to make up for fiscal expansion of oil and gas exports, Iranian oil began to resume exports Such factors have led to a persistent oversupply in the world oil market, which has caused oil prices to continue to fall, creating tremendous pressure on Saudi Arabia, which is highly dependent on the oil dollar. In fact, the Saudi government has long recognized that the excessive dependence on oil exports has led to a single economic disintegration. For this reason, it has been actively working for the diversification of economic development. In the military, it is also necessary to take this diversified development route and get rid of the West. Dependence.
In the era of the war on terror, the relationship between the Saudi official and the ultra-Sunni armed forces has gradually increased the gap between Saudi Arabia and the Western countries. The "Arab Spring" movement, which was dominated by the West in 2010, also hit Saudi Arabia. Money has passed this, but the Saudi government must indeed consider the days after leaving the West, and buying the dragons developed by China and Pakistan is part of this effort.
In terms of technology, although Xiaolong is only a single-engine fighter, it is a multi-role fighter with over-the-horizon air-to-air combat capability and ground-strike capability. In this regard, it is more specifically classified into air defense type and ground attack type. The wind is still strong. The introduction of Snapdragon to replace the old wind, and the typhoon and F-15 to achieve high and low collocation, so that the Saudi Air Force's fleet configuration system is more reasonable, Snapdragon and Western dual-engine heavy fighters much cheaper procurement and use costs also help Saudi Arabia The Air Force has increased its military spending in the era of low oil prices.
Especially in the Yemen War in the past two years, the F-15, an expensive heavy fighter, was frequently dispatched to deal with the low-level opponents of the Yemeni Hussein. The waste of cost has made the Saudi Air Force scratch the head, and the dragon is suitable for the Middle East. This low-level, low-intensity operation in the region is a must for Saudi Arabia to build a strong air force in the era of low oil prices.
Although the F-15 is good, but the price is too high, Saudi Arabia may not always be able to afford it.
The special relationship between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is one of the reasons why Saudi Arabia is watching the dragon. Pakistan is a Sunni country and the only nuclear country among all Islamic countries. It can help Saudi Arabia to contain Iran on the geographical point. So from any angle, Saudi Arabia has long valued the Islamic brother of Pakistan. Various economic aids have been ongoing. And Pakistan has also reciprocated, and has frequently dispatched troops to help Saudi Arabia in its best military. For example, in the recent Yemen war, Saudi Arabia’s own army was defeated, and the Pakistani army was the only army on the Saudi side that could produce results. At this time, I chose to buy Xiaolong, on the one hand, I can help Pakistan economically, on the other hand, I can learn from Pakistan’s advanced combat experience. Why not do it.
Pakistan’s use of JF-17(China code FC-1) is very mature
At the same time, Saudi Arabia’s choice to head to Iran is also the reason why Saudi Arabia is willing to buy Snapdragon. As a Shia Islamic country, Iran was the rival of the Sunni Arab countries headed by Saudi Arabia before the nuclear issue broke out. Unlike Saudi Arabia, Iran, which was sanctioned by the West after the Islamic Revolution, has always been poor. Even if Russia is willing to sell, Iran will not be able to purchase the advanced heavy-duty fighters such as the Russian Su-27 and Su-30, so it is cheap and cost-effective. The high dragon fighters became the object of Iran's special favor, and it is difficult for Pakistan, which also lacks money, to reject such orders. Any action by Iran to strengthen its own military power is something that Saudi Arabia does not want to see. Therefore, it is also one of Saudi Arabia’s intentions to buy the dragon and get the dragon to lose the purchase value because the performance has been mastered by the opponent.
In addition, what is overlooked by many people is that the biggest selling point of “Zhenlong” is “China-Pakistan Joint Research”. Pakistan has high hopes for JF-17, not only for its own use, but also for its own creation. According to AVIC's 2016 report, “China and Pakistan have adopted the 2+2 cooperation model: the first step is to repair 2 aircraft in China and get through the technical path of aircraft overhaul. The second step is to build overhaul in Pakistan through two large aircraft construction lines. ability". Overhaul is an important ability that can be possessed after understanding all the technical engineering details. It is related to the problem of "card neck" and the first step of developing a fighter. The Pakistani F-16 was sent to Turkey for overhaul. . With the help of China, the Pakistani side has basically mastered the ability to overhaul. Apparently, Saudi Arabia wants not only the "JF-17(China code FC-1)" but also Pakistan's ability to maintain, overhaul, and even develop fighters.
In any case, Saudi Arabia is willing to buy JF-17(China code FC-1), which is a good thing for CMB. CMB can not only make a large amount of real money, but also take the opportunity to open the Saudi market and bring China closer to Saudi Arabia. It is an arrow and more carvings, and I wish this transaction a smooth success.
