The project aims to create a safe handling of explosives based on the Swedish model and to train personnel in both countries.


Agreement details :

Ammunition and warheads for barrel weapons, robots rockets, torpedoes, bombs and more. The permit also applies to equipment for the manufacture of munitions.

Can we see any indigenous Saudi or GCC designed and built weapon now? Enough with transferring foreign (mostly Western) weapons production facilities to the GCC. At least Iranians try and design their own weapons, and other equipment. In fact, can we ask Muslims from anywhere to show us any NEW weapon that has not been designed or built anywhere before? I am not asking for a different version of the same weapon. An ATGW is an ATGW, no matter which version designed and built by which country you are talking about.

Let's talk about some weapon that has not been developed in any infidel country yet.

Before learning to fly you must first learn to walk. And it is always better with the bests already flying in the space, rather than with simple Illusionists. ^^

Way to go KSA...This is how you get in track.
It is always better to start from where people are and not to go back to old weapons and modify them with small incremental "assumed" benefits and call that invention and military industry modernization.

This is another strong step forward for KSA to stepping into the military industry.
