Seem to be a lot of articles about Saudi weapons purchases lately....

Something is stirring in the Kingdom. Our dear friends are up to no good again....
That’s a question you should ask the leaders of the countries concerned.Supposedly it is to deal with the Iranian threat,though the Saudi airforce in it’s current form itself is more modern than the Iranian one.Put together with the rest of the GCC & the Egyptian airforce-the Iranians are thrashed.So there could well be the monetary factor-the Saudis take rather quick decisions unlike other buyers,so if your firm needs a fresh dose of cash,hawk your wares to them.
