Saudis after buying Israeli Iron Dome missiles: Report

[925boy]

I am not naive. These American Favorite Saudis already have Patriot Systems and THAAD Systems are on order for them. And they have more then enough money to buy S400 from Russia as well.
Why would they want to buy a much inferior tech Iron Dome system which they cannot legally buy from a source that will create a river of controversies for them.
We should be objective when we discuss news not emotionally driven.

They could want Iron dome BECAUSE Iron dome has an actually succesful track record. Whats the THAAD's actual track record? Even SK and CHina know that shit wont stop all BMs from North Korea.
I am objective and not emotionally driven.

If so than why Saudi only buy defensive equipment from Israel and not offensive?
While Saudi openly buy stuff from Europe, US, Russia, Pakistan... are they all common enemies of Iran ?

Saudis dont need offensive weapons from ISrael, they get that from the other countries you mentioned. What they need from ISrael is cooperation aka joint strategy for "tackling" Iran. Saudis are not beholden to Israel generally, so they will take what they need from them mostly..

You (Turkey) have a comparable system to offer (Iron Dome ) - exactly at the same level - today ?

No ! We agree.

We agree for what my friend ? You know very well that Turkey is extensively developing many different surface to air missile system including two variant of C-RAM to stop mortars, artillery shells and rockets. One is based on Korkut 35mm and other one is a missile comparable to IronDome but The subject is not about Turkey and missile projects ready to use right now. It is about Saudi Kings lying to own nations about Israel, while making strategic military related business with them directly/indirectly.

It is extremely difficult, or even impossible to obtain weapons from the USA that do not contain a material part or software that is not so native to the Israeli defense industry, it's a fair undeniable fact.

If the Arab people - or others - do not know how the world is done in 2018 - always because of our delay - while they throw their computers, their smartphones, their generic drugs etc... immediately.

But you know Bro that the Usraeli tech is mainly US tech transferred to Usrael to help it develop its own military industry and make some money trough it.. every tech in Usrael can be obtained from the US for a bit higher price..There is no such collusion between KSA and Usrael..the only ones who talk about it are the ones who have open and covert relations with Usrael.. it is kinda inferiority complex they project on KSA to feel better about it..

Looks like Yemeni ssm causing pain and US supplied patriot not enough, they just ordered Russian s-400s and who knows what else - good news for Oem all around the world [emoji288]

KSA can buy the Sky Hunter system from Raytheon..it was based on the Iron dome with better performance and 10 km more range.. it is 100% made by Raytheon..


Sky Hunter
Is a portable air defense system in all weather conditions. Aimed at destroying short-range missiles and artillery shells Launched from distances of 4 to 70 kilometers

Sky Hunter is literally the same missile with an Israeli radar system. The only difference is that the missile itself is built in the US with US money.

Or the Iron Dome is the rebranded Sky Hunter..since the original tech ifs from Raytheon!

From the same video you got your pictures from:

Literally in the first few seconds "The Sky Hunter system is modeled after the Israeli Iron Dome system"

If raytheon is selling a system made by israel under a different name then how is it filling israeli pockets?

Israeli radar.

When their US made patriot missiles are doing reasonably good job by keeping most of the Houthis missiles at bay, than why do they need of another Israeli defense systems ? This report is mere speculation and probably fake.

The Iron Dome is against rockets, the Patriot is against ballistic and cruise missiles, and obviously aircraft. It would do terribly against short ranged rockets.

Which is based on US technology.. we can go like this in circles forever.. just have a good laugh about it.. it is fake news anyway..

This thread.



As if Patriots, S-400 and THAAD is not enough.

It's more likely for KSA to attempt to make contact with aliens in the GN-z11 high-redshift galaxy and ask them kindly for their assistance. We tend to pay well after all.

Fake news it definitely is.

That's an insult towards your grandmother, bro. I would have greater faith in some homeless Russian alcoholic than the Mullah propaganda outlet that is PissTV when it comes to KSA and Arab countries in general.

You for skyhunter usa still buys radars from israel instead of manufacturing itself?

dont understand what happened to these arabs who forgotten teaching of our beloved PROPHET MOHAMMAD P.B.U.H and what ALLAH send message to muslims that these jews can never be your friends if you keep any faith with them they will betray you as they betrayed the will of ALLAH and 1000 prophets before


whatever they buy will be useless wont work against israel and down graded weapon system

ksa already buying S 400 and UAE THAAD no need to fill pockets of jews so they buy more bullets to shed muslims blood in palestine

arabs are already well protected this procurments is to serve their masters rather than it was needed

if it was in need the chinese are EU already have more capable systems than iron dome better fill pockets others than jews
