End of US hegemony in the Saudi military-technical market: Russia and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement on military cooperation

A notable event took place at the Army-2021 international military-technical forum. Let us remind you that this forum is being held at the Patriot exhibition center in the Moscow region.

For the first time, an agreement on military (military-technical) cooperation was signed between the Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia. The document was signed by the deputy heads of the defense departments of the two countries - Alexander Fomin and Prince Khaled bin Salman Al-Saud.

As noted by the Saudi prince, who is also a government official, Riyadh is aimed at long-term cooperation with Moscow on military-technical issues. In turn, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu thanked the Saudi delegation for the interest shown in the Russian military-technical market, adding that at the Army-2021 exhibition you can get acquainted with various types of weapons, including those that have managed to prove themselves, for example, in Syria ...

Khaled bin Salman al-Saud noted that Saudi Arabia intends to strengthen military-technical cooperation with Russia, and added that this is in the interests of the state and the people.

According to the Saudi prince, Russia has extensive experience in creating products that can meet various challenges and contribute to strengthening security. And Saudi Arabia is ready to take into account the experience accumulated by the Russian Federation.

Khaled bin Salman al-Saud examined the exposition of the Army-2021 exhibition, drawing attention to air defense systems, modern armored vehicles with updated combat modules and other military equipment.

Recall that earlier in Riyadh they expressed interest in acquiring Russian S-400 air defense systems. At the moment, there is no information about negotiations on the supply of these air defense systems. However, the agreement signed by the deputy defense ministers clearly indicates that Russia can supply various weapons to Saudi Arabia in which Riyadh is interested.

Earlier, Riyadh in terms of military and military-technical cooperation for Moscow for a long time actually remained closed, preferring cooperation in this regard exclusively with Washington. Now the US hegemony in the Saudi military-technical market is coming to an end.

Yes, no intrigue .. For the air defense came to replace the Patriots. They don't need anything else - everything is expensive, American.

Their relations with the Democrats have seriously deteriorated, and they are transparently hinting to them that such a rich buyer can buy in other markets as well. In general, the Saudis promise a lot, but I don’t remember any real contracts with them. It's too early to throw the caps yet. There will be specific contracts - there we will rejoice.

[Thrifty]

They also signed contracts for hundreds of billions of dollars from the Yankees, but bought weapons for a penny, and are not eager to fulfill those same contracts for the purchase of weapons and military equipment!

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Does the title sound too loud?

[Model101]

The Saudis have big problems with organization, troop management, and HP morale. Do not give them any weapon, all to no purpose.

What difference does it make to us! The main thing is that the client is solvent

The difference .. is still there. Or "client" will glorify the weapon .. or "goat" (from the word - goat).

[Proton]

Either the Saudis can buy, or not. Either the S-400, or something else. The signed agreement about what? What specifics is there in it?
You can feel the elections soon - there are many photos and "achievements" of one Russian in military uniform in the media.
What's the title, huh?!?! Immediately five in the subject "Powder the brains of the electorate."

[Lech from Android.]

For the role of a likely successor, a chair is being tried on to a person ... let's see if he turns out to be the father of the nation.

[Nazar]

Lech from Android. - What nafig "replacement"? Shoigu is my one-year-old - born in 1954 only two years younger than Putin, and it is no longer time for him to think about his career, but about where and how he will be buried and what will be written on the grave

[Lech from Android.]

Well, then I don't know why Shoigu is so active ...
if only the new Mikhail Sergeevich or Boris Nikolaevich did not sit in the chair of the president of Russia ... the country will not survive this.

[72jora72]

if only the new Mikhail Sergeevich or Boris Nikolaevich did not sit in the chair of the president of Russia ..

We and Vladimir Vladimirovich are a bit too much already .....

[Nazar]

Lech from Android - The mere mention of these ghouls (HMS and EBN) already reduces cheekbones, and we really won't survive the appearance of any variants of their second edition in power.
And Shoigu and Lavrov lit up because they are fulfilling a party task - elections are on the way, they are at the head of the party's list, which has gone around in full, and there is a directive to keep the majority in the Duma, so they are trying as best they can.

[Sergey Nikiforov]

Bye on you, and our father of the nation is thinking about two more terms. And how much is he?

[Rubi0]

Biden is 80 and normal, so Shoigu, with his 66, will still have time to steer 2 times and will still be younger than Biden)

[zadorin1974]

I will not say about the father of the nation, but the daughter of the nation is already the main builder of the Moscow Region, and you will notice, all by herself, alone, without an ensemble.

To believe in the Saudis is not to respect yourself.

[Andrea]

And what? What kind of cooperation can there be? What can they offer us? Only buy something, but then it turns out that they cannot buy, because the USA does not need it.
There is another option, to buy something because the USA needs it.

[bayard]

The US is blown away.
And they no longer buy Saudi oil.
And next to it is Iran, from which it will soon be a year since the embargo on offensive arms has been lifted.
And the lack of normal air defense.
And the refusal to sell the F-35 from Israel.
And the need to negotiate oil prices.
... Or elections in the Russian Federation.

[Asad]

Whose oil is the US buying, and to whom is Israel not selling the F35?

[bayard]

Quote: ASAD

And whose oil is the US buying?

Ours, Canadian and ours (heavy, mainly fuel oil - for expensive) and a little from Iraq and Syria.

Quote: ASAD

And to whom is Israel not selling the F35?

At the request of Israel, the United States refused to sell the F-35 to the Arabs, and to those who did agree to deliver (with Israel's consent), there are such restrictions and a permissive policy for departure, for combat use, for the route ... apparently with Russia it is easier.

[Andrea]

There is only one plus - Russia is strengthening its influence in the Middle East.
This is the only thing that can benefit from this agreement, or the Saudis will tear what they wear there and, in fact, buy something.

[bayard]

After the United States threw absolutely all of its allies in Afghanistan - not only its Afghan puppets, but also NATO allies and other satellites. Not just employees of the embassies of friendly states, but also the units of their military contingents ... The Sumerians there, out of hopelessness, pass themselves off as Russians - it helps for now ... In short, the realization came that America is kapets.
Perhaps the owners of the money simply take her off her allowance.

End of US hegemony in the Saudi military-technical market: Russia and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement on military cooperation

And let's wait until the process begins, there the goods, here baksheesh.

[Ryaruav]

Will the industry stand up to all these agreements? who will work soon?

[askort154]

For the first time, an agreement on military (military-technical) cooperation was signed between the Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia.
...... Now the US hegemony in the Saudi military-technical market is coming to an end.

Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. Nothing concrete, but we are already shaking the air.
I remember that Trump first of all forced the SA to sign a contract with the United States for the supply of weapons to it at once for 110 billion dollars.
Where is the guarantee that not on the orders of the United States, the Saudis suddenly wanted military-technical cooperation with Russia. If no sanctions follow, then it is.

[tralflot1832]

This is of course good, but where then is the $ 100 billion Trump contract for the supply of arms to the Saudis?

[Stirbjorn]

However, the agreement signed by the deputy defense ministers clearly indicates that Russia can supply various weapons to Saudi Arabia in which Riyadh is interested.

An article for PR Shoigu ?! Russia "can carry out supplies to Saudi Arabia" for more than 10 years. Starting with the famous scam by the Saudis, instead of supplying S-300s to Iran under Medvedev.

It is not for nothing that our military experts and diplomats have conducted long-term negotiations with the Saudis. So they tamed it! Merikatos - aboard!

[riwas]

The Saudi Arabian authorities are showing interest in the Russian Abakan anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), the world's first specialized system for combating high-speed high-altitude targets with ballistic trajectories. "Abakan" can replace the American air defense system "Patriot" in the Saudi army.
The performance characteristics of the Abakan air defense system are as follows: firing range at ballistic targets (min / max, km) - 12/40; target height (min / max, km) - 2/30; target speed - up to 4000 m / s; the number of simultaneously tracked targets and missiles aimed at them is 4/8.

It is difficult to share the author's "soapy" optimism regarding the coming "end of US hegemony in the Saudi military-technical market", but the news itself gives rise to some hopes. Indeed, for the sake of one-time purchases of a small batch of something from the above equipment, it would not make sense to conclude an interstate agreement.
