I am indifferent to them. What are they compared to us 500 million Arabs and the Arab world on any front? Nothing is the real answer. So I have no reason to worry about them more than necessary. But yes, I do dislike most of them as most of them dislike us Arabs. So I want nothing to do with them as they are of no importance for us either. History has shown this and I doubt that this will ever change. The hostile ones that is. Those who are not, I have no problem with similar to any other people on the planet regardless of ethnicity, nationality, religion, sect, color, political views etc. Likewise I hardly consider the leading "Wilayat al-Faqih" drones to be Muslim other than by name given their actions.
I do dislike the Arab Mullah's too (that's an understatement and I consider this a duty and something that I proudly uphold) who have ruled them for almost 40 years and their cancerous policies in our part of the world. Let alone pro-Mullah drones on PDF that have a very annoying habit of meddling in internal Arab matters or in threads such as those which they often derail with their moronic nonsense. Not interested in that nor do I have the time for it currently and soon (when I graduate) never again. At least not here. Rather work in practice to combat them.
He is right. Most of their so-called "great" achievements are either photoshop, reversed engineered ancient Soviet and North Korean junk and most important of all none of it battle-proven.
Let them think that they stand a chance against cutting-edge (best there is) American weaponry and against advisories that outnumber them on every front be it numbers, economic power, political power, resources and practically everything.
Anyway we should focus on improving the GCC further rather than wasting time on North Korea II.
If anything that Farsi troll should stay out of this thread as it has nothing to do with him and as we have seen, he has only been good at trolling and inaccurate moronic posts.
As if you know the plans of KSA or even what that 10-year old deal entails or what KSA/GCC has of future plans.
Unfortunately I am still here but hopefully not for much longer. Chemical engineering, brother.
Exactly. Well said. The future is very bright and this is just one small step if you ask me. I would like to expand more but don't got the time currently to do so. Anyway I will soon defense - ****
Wrong. Not only that what KSA actually produces is genuine and not photoshop/ancient Soviet/North Korean reversed engineered junk never proven on a battlefield. And save your time with a long reply of your "achievements". Nobody here cares. Nor has this thread anything to do with your entity.
As part of Vision 2030, much of the new deals include clauses that part of the technology must be produced in Saudi Arabia and there must be transfer of technology agreements.
For example, the huge 60 billion USD deal done a few years back for F-15SA fighter jets include the stipulation that
Saudi Al Salam Aircraft Company produce the Wings for conversions of old F-15S to F-15SA standard
The deal to upgrade the fleet of M1A2 Abrams tanks to M1A2S Standard has a stipulation that final assembly
be conducted in Saudi Arabia
Taqnia Aeronautics has deals with Antonov of Ukraine to develop a new transport aircraft called the
AN-132, with Sikorsky to
develop helicopter production facilities in Saudi Arabia and with Rockwell Collins to develop
Aircraft Avionics within the Kingdom
King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) has developed a
strategic armed UAV called "Saqr-1" with technology transfers from Chinese UAV deals.
Denel Dynamics of South Africa has signed several deals with Saudi companies including a deal with the Military Industry Corporation (which has run the Kharj Arsenal providing ammunition for Saudi militarty for decades)
to upgrade the arsenal to produce mortar and artillery rounds up to 155mm caliber as well as signing a deal with ITEAC group to produce
ZT3 Ingwe Antitank missiles in Saudi Arabia
And there are probably more I forgot or not yet announced. I will take that over photoshop/ancient reverse-engineered Soviet/North Korean junk that has never been proven on a battlefield even once.
Well, said. I wish you the same. Hopefully we will work closer together on all fronts and this time around something tangible will develop as a result.
