Royal Saudi Arabian Strategic Missile Force

_Arabia_ · Jan 4, 2026

KSA was/is directly involved in this project for years. As well as the AV-TM 300.

The DF-31 is also rumored to be in the RSASMF arsenal.

According to friends at AD forum, either actual deployment somewhere unknown within KSA or AI, doubtful the later.

Actually I remember during that visit of the Saudi delegation to Ukraine that the latter offered its most sensitive air, land, naval and space related systems to KSA..they were all based on Soviet technologies that Saudi Arabia is now developing with western tech on its own to make them more potent Military systems..

Makes sense given

UKRAINE - SAUDI ARABIA: PARTNERS IN THE PRESENT AND FUTURE - Prism Ua

Ukraine has always paid considerable attention to the development of relations with the Middle East, with the establishment of comprehensive cooperation with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia playing a central role.

Finally, the 1KR1 Sapsan operational-tactical missile complex (OTRK) has entered serial production and “system application.”

and what has been covered earlier in this thread.

KSA did the right thing by looking for cooperation and support from everyone be it China, Ukraine, Pakistan, South Korea, Brazil and others.

The KSA-Brazil cooperation in terms of missile technology is very interesting and deep. Not much reported. Brazil has one of the largest Arab diasporas in the world numbering up to 15-20 million people depending on the source. We are very much the "Jews" of Brazil in that country. Overly represented and powerful in politics, business etc. compared to the actual numbers.

Not sure what the military relationship with Brazil is today but hopefully it has continued as previously.

KSA is likely 15-20 years ahead of what has been shown publicly (which is notoriously almost nothing deliberately) 5-7 years ago when afterwards showcasing stopped abruptly.

Much like the entire topic itself (ballistic missiles, local ballistic missile production, nuclear weapons, missile bases etc.) are officially off-limits in terms of news.

It is a pain in the *** for us military enthusiasts but the right decision to keep utmost secrecy or reveal very little and always years afterwards.

Some official news.

I am laughing and being resigned to the extreme secrecy as usual.

His Excellency, the Commander of the Royal Saudi Arabian Strategic Missile Force, Major General Jarallah Alaluwayt receives the full institutional military academic accreditation certificate, granted to the Royal Saudi Arabian Strategic Missile Force Institute, from the National Center for Military Academic Evaluation and Accreditation at the Education and Training Evaluation Authority.

We/I don't know anything (at least from what I am aware, maybe someone has a better memory or knows something that I have missed - very likely) official or concrete, everything is rumors, because this entire field and any other strategic military field in KSA is mirrored in complete and utter secrecy from the state and local defense contractors involved alike. Just take a look at this thread.

It is very frustrating for us military enthusiasts because very little is publicized and the projects that are, almost always are published several years after their completion.

However we often have indirect signs where things and projects are going.

One of them could come next month when the World Defense Show will occur in KSA.

World Defense Show

www.worlddefenseshow.com

There we will for sure see local Saudi Arabian private firms and government ones (SAMI being the leading one) showcase some of their projects.

Otherwise there is always Defense Arab forum and other large Arab military forums and of course Twitter.

BTW this Brazilian missile cooperation is just like the Ukrainian one in the past 10-15 years, very little information has gone out in the public domain but there has definitely been work going on that is useful for KSA. Otherwise KSA would have no interest in helping fund such projects.

Also the same can be said about Turkey-KSA cooperation. There is definitely a lot that we do not know about other than what is published publicly.

@The SC might provide additional information.

Have the Saudis built and tested any ballistic missiles indigenously yet?

CIA and other US sources (some posted in this thread) have been reporting this to be the case in the past 10 years (at least) so the answer to your question is most likely (almost certainly) a yes.

The entire Saudi Arabian Strategic Missile Force is constantly undergoing changes and expanding which even Israeli OSINT accounts are posting about openly in great detail. That is what is known, which again, likely is the top of the iceberg.

This branch of KSA's military was created 40 + years ago. Almost 50 years ago.

If you combine the political needs and will (during this era and today), the money (national wealth), the partners and their help (China first and foremost, Pakistan, Ukraine, Brazil, South Korea, in the 1980's Saddam's Iraq and others to mention a few in the past 50 years), the local talent and what is already confirmed, it should be pretty much straightforward.

Now the deeper details etc. are not known to many people for obvious reasons due to the secrecy involved and the strategic importance of this branch of the army.

Rest is obviously speculation.

_Arabia_ · Jan 30, 2026

I hope that they are on high alert if needed and that they will not hesitate to act if necessary.

We need to strike fiercely in case of any attack on Saudi Arabian soil. No type of retaliation should be discounted if attacked unprovoked. Our firepower is many times greater. I believe that the Iranian leadership has been warned about what would occur should they attack unprovoked.

_Arabia_ · Feb 19, 2026

If KSA is not already armed with nuclear warheads, which is very likely, the perceived strategic incentive to develop them appears to be increasing by each day. From that perspective, failing to acquire such capabilities within the next 3 to 5 years would amount to treason by the current leadership.

There is sufficient technical expertise, financial resources, and uranium deposits within KSA.

_Arabia_ · Feb 20, 2026

This is extremely significant news if accurate. The US might have come to the terms with the fact that KSA likely has numerous nuclear warheads already.

**Reuters Agency:**US President Donald Trump has officially notified Congress that Washington is seeking to conclude a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia, without including an explicit prohibition on enrichment within the framework of the proposed agreement.

It is public knowledge that KSA intends to produce yellowcake and low-enriched uranium for domestic use and export. Basically mastering the full nuclear cycle.

Even publicly stated by our energy minister on numerous occasions.

Looks like the reports were correct!

Proposed Saudi-U.S. deal could allow uranium enrichment, arms control experts warn

Saudi Arabia could have some form of uranium enrichment within the kingdom under a proposed nuclear deal with the United States, congressional documents and an arms control group suggest, raising proliferation concerns as an atomic standoff between Iran and America continues.

www.pbs.org

I thought it was a hoax but a former iRGC senior commander (Hussein Kanani) is openly saying it during a interview with Rick Sanchez:

Insha'Allah it is true but it would explain quite a lot of things.

I was always convinced of this myself and the sources that I have heard in person also practically confirmed this. Too much smoke without fire.

Rick Sanchez is a clown but it is obvious that the connection is Pakistan. You don't fully fund the Pakistani nuclear program for years (if not decades), help Pakistan during its most heavy sanctions for years (later to forgive the debt) without not getting anything in return.

_Arabia_ · Feb 28, 2026

So we will have another even more failed entity (Iran) next to us for many years to come. Chickens coming home to roost indeed.

Looks like they are hit extremely hard with nothing of substance destroyed or hit in the GCC and zero casualties other than 1 dead South Asian (Pakistani, now confirmed) migrant in UAE.

Other than those North Korean/Russian origin missiles, they have nothing in their arsenal to cause any harm. They will be depleted and to begin with can only do very limited harm. Nothing of substance will be destroyed nor will it win any battle let alone any war.

So far nothing hit in KSA as well.

But as I wrote, if we are directly hit, we need to strike fiercely in return. Last time people from KSA decided to strike them, we permanently changed them religiously, culturally, linguistically, ethnically and ruled them for centuries. Changes that have lasted for 1400 + years (more than half of their recorded history).

Other than that, the Arabized Mullah regime and the Zionists (2/3 Arab Jews) should kill each other as much as possible. Suits us very well as both are enemies.

Ideally they can target the Abu Dhabi regime a bit and get the Abu Dhabi regime involved directly but I doubt it, as both those regimes love each other and have significant trade ties.

Something should also be done about this Ibadi regime in Oman at one point in time and their duplicity.

A lot of fake news circulated by mostly Shia South Asian accounts posting nonsense on X.

"Iranian random attacks extended today to 6 regions in Gulf countries, where most of them were successfully intercepted, while some missiles fell in sites that had been evacuated in advance without recording any significant losses. The attacks included all of:

Kuwait
Bahrain
United Arab Emirates
Qatar"

Pretty much confirmed as the same 2-3 videos are being reposted with no significant damage let alone any casualties. Looks like those US bases were evacuated a long time ago. In other words another Mullah regime failure as usual.
