Saudi Arabia and other American allies should not acquire weapons in Russia, including the C-400 anti-aircraft systems, reports RIA News The statement of the candidate for the post of Assistant Secretary of State David Schenker.


Riyadh was strongly advised not to buy Russian C-400


A potential deal for the purchase of complexes may violate the US law on sanctions against the Russian defense industry.

Responding to questions from congressmen, Schenker said that if he was appointed, he would interact with US allies to convince the Saudis to abandon the acquisition of "potentially sanctioned military equipment in the Russian Federation."

In other words, I would strongly recommend Riyadh not to,
added a candidate for the position of assistant secretary of state for the Middle East.

Recall a preliminary agreement with the representatives of Saudi Arabia on the supply of C-400 air defense systems was reached last year. And at the end of May of this year, the ambassador of the kingdom in Russia, Khalid Krimmi, said that negotiations with Moscow on the purchase of anti-aircraft systems were going well. However, he noted that the date of their end is still unknown.

C-400 "Triumph" (according to NATO codification - SA-21 Growler) is the Russian long-range and medium-range anti-aircraft system. It is intended to destroy all modern and prospective means of air attack and reconnaissance (including aircraft made using stealth technology). Adopted in 2007 year.

      Well, then he’s a candidate to yell on all channels ..., actually, are such things being done on the sidelines, and not from the rostrum ... or already on the sidelines no one puts them in any way?

        Moreover, the Saudis put on the opinion of the United States when the question is about what weapons to buy from whom. If Turkey put the opinion of the United States on this issue. And how the Tomogawks intercept rockets, the Saudis have already learned.

          The Saudis are afraid that at one moment they will not fall under “democratization,” but it is noticeable how quickly the medieval way of life is changing there, so the women were allowed to drive cars.

            Saudi oil production shares belong not only to Saudis, but the USA and Europeans have a share there.
            Until the oil runs out, the Saudis have nothing to fear. And the “woman behind the wheel” is solely for attracting tourists. There were incidents when the police arrested foreigners for this, with a resonance in the Western press on the topic “savage Arabs, do not go to them”

              Yes, 10 or 20 years, oil is certainly not only motor fuel.

                It’s interesting, but to forbid their foreign “partners” to breathe “Russian” air on planet Earth, the “Power of the World” - the USA - when will they start ?! feel
                Probably, this time at the darkly insidious Washington is also not far off! belay

    It was for the early delivery of this complex, the Saudis leaked the game to us yesterday. All to hell about a dime about our game at the World Cup yesterday.
    Another account 5-0 cannot be explained.

      The news said that several Saudi team players would be punished. As I understand it, five will chop off their heads for this game.

        Maybe in relation to our players the same measures apply? Start with your fingers ...

            But those who are confident in their abilities will begin to play. And not those who are sure that they will be paid.

      Interesting, interesting. Selling for 5 goals conceded? Someone with logic is not good.

    The fact that our complexes are famously in demand is certainly great. But it’s not for sale to friends, I hope KRET employees have envisaged the possibility of neutralizing it.

        Are we going to attack potential buyers?
        If some of our customers will fight with others sold to them by our weapons, shaw, what kind of new situation?
        Export performance, this has always been .... all serious manufacturers do this!

            Of course you can’t foresee everything, but fortunately nobody really wants to attack us!
            Again, export performance! I remember what and how it was .... I don’t think that now they act differently!

    Now it’s clear why Russia soaked 5-0 Saudis. The Americans bribed the players of the national team so that they would play from the heart. The Saudis will be offended - they will not buy the S-400! (that's why the GDP all the time apologized to the prince, Maybe he will forgive him anyway?)

    They will buy - they will not buy .... The goods are piece-wise, they are not dusty in warehouses. So first in line, squeezing the advance in a sweaty cam, and then the complexes.
