The Saudis with amers in a hickey, but already beginning to play safe, have stood in line for our S-400.

Good news. Buy 180 units from the US reserve. Since they have not been produced since 2003, the US Army will be reduced by 180 units of M109A5 / A6.

The Chinese PLZ-45, the Saudis bought for about 7.4 million apiece, but there, apart from the self-propelled guns themselves, in the amount of 54 pieces, 36 TZM, 12 KShMok, 2 counter-battery radars, 2 weather stations with radar stations, 4 ARVs and a bunch of "service" - mobile workshops and so on .

Alas! Everything is much more prosaic. Buy a brick! Offer striped! And try to refuse.

Sith Lord ...Since they are not being produced now, therefore, the US Army will be reduced by 180 M109A5 / A6 units.

Sergei ! Here you can see from a different angle. Outdated weapons are not in scrap, but for the Tugriks, who will go on to create a new one. In this way, we kept our military-industrial complex afloat until the 2000s, selling the "remnants" from the USSR.

[Lord of the Sith]

Welcome Will not go for a new one. They from their 711 billion budget spend only 8% on the purchase of a new and modernization.

Hello, Sergey. Duc, given such a desire

Saudis expect to receive spare parts and technical support and other services from the United States.

the party will be set up taking into account "cannibalism." In Europe, with supplies back and forth used Pz2000, some units immediately go as spare parts.

[Lord of the Sith]

Greetings, Alexander I agree completely.

Sergei
Interestingly, the negro-loader is included, or do you have to buy separately?

[Borik]

It seems that the Yemenis well beat the Saudi armored vehicles for scrap. You order another batch.

[KVU-NSVD]

The Saudis are constantly arming themselves with the most sophisticated of the available, and the Hussite partisans put in them lyuli with enviable regularity. Looks like feed is not in the horse ...

[Shahno]

You also need to know in what order and what to click on, where to look, and most importantly not to confuse. And this is difficult ....

[KVU-NSVD]

You can teach a monkey. Prepare an excellent crew or crew for about six months at a reasonable cost for fuel, spare parts and ammunition. I think there are no problems with the training money there, so the local warriors have a problem between the ears, because I can find no other explanation. Or maybe just snickering loafers with a complete lack of discipline ...

[just exp]

Well, yes, with a camel is easier.

[Sands Careers General]

So recently, the Saudis, I apologize for naturalism, donated Ishaks and twisted their camels, and the saber was the peak of their technological power.
And now they are trying to master a really complex technique, to which they have not grown up on their own.

They don’t need spare parts with support, but crews and officers

[Galleon]

I would have lost cards, let down a billion for girls or drank it, so faith does not allow it. The teeth are all gold. Where to put money? Well, let's take 180 howitzers, the desert is big, there is where to put it.
