Royal Saudi Air Force prepares to receive Sniper ATPs

The Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) will soon be receiving Lockheed Martin AN/AAQ-33 Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods (ATPs) under a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract.

Lockheed Martin announced on 15 June that it has signed a contract for the pods with Saudi Arabia; the United States had first announced the possibility of the FMS in 2007 as part of a wider arms package for members of the Gulf Co-operation Council. The contract represents the first phase of a multi-year, USD100 million precision sensor modernisation programme to replace LANTIRN (Low-Altitude Navigation and Targeting InfraRed for Night) targeting and navigation pods used aboard RSAF F-15S aircraft.

Zak Tomczak, Lockheed Martin's director of international Sniper business development, said the company is on track to deliver the pods within the two years it typically takes from FMS notification to hardware deliveries.

Saudi Arabia takes control of Typhoon combat jets

A handout image obtained June 12, 2009, in London, shows a Roll Out Ceremony for the first two Typhoon aircraft constructed for the Royal Saudi Air Force at BAE Systems.
Britain has delivered two Eurofighter Typhoon combat jets to Saudi Arabia, the first of a massive order which was delayed after an arms scandal.

Assistant Defense and Aviation Minister Prince Khaled bin Sultan received the two fighter jets in a ceremony held at manufacturer BAE Systems' Warton site in northwest England on Thursday, the British Ministry of Defense (MoD) said.

"The Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) is getting a fantastic aircraft," Britain's armed forces minister Bill Rammell who also attended the ceremony said.

The development comes after France opened its first military base in the United Arab Emirates in May.

The Saudi Kingdom spends more than 8 percent of its GDP on arms as it is believed to be seeking to maintain air superiority over regional countries.

However, Saudi Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, who commands the RSAF, said the new aircraft were "not to threaten anyone but to protect and secure the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the coming decades," Saudi state news agency SPA reported.

The two combat aircraft -- produced by a BAE Systems-led consortium of European firms -- were the first out of an order for an eventual 72 fighters, worth up to 38.6 billion dollars, including armaments and long-term servicing.

Jos malo slicica.

da....a kakvi su im piloti...... ??

Tesko je reci.
Trebali bi da imaju solidnu akademiju,ali ipak je sve veoma problematicno u pitanju kvaliteta ljudi.

Malo bolji od tenkista 
Salu na stranu, nekako su uvek srljali vise a manje radili glavom, a pilote su nabavljali sa strane posto su njihovi uvek preko neke familijarne i politicke veze dobijali cinove

hehe..samo neka oni troše....

Saudi Order for three additional A330 MRTT Tankers!
