The VL Mica system records its first interception in real conditions

The first documented interception and kill of a Target (suicide drone) for the Short range Mica system.. #Saudi_National_Guard

The guard contracted it... and Sami's mission is to transfer the technology of the contracted deals! Such as Avante, Thaad, Patriot and the Belgian towers in the Lav deal .. as well as many other systems..

It is worth noting that the Saudi Military Industries Company (SAMI) and the European company MBDA have agreed on a complete transfer of system technology with a new IP for the Saudi company Sami.

[_Arabia_]

Excellent updates as usual @The SC

Yet we still have ignorant trolls here and elsewhere who deny the obvious. Namely that KSA is slowly but steadily turning into a very potent industrialized nation with a very well-developed arms industry within a very short amount of time. Now imagine how this industry will look like in just 10 or 20 years given the huge monetary founding, local talent and demographics. Not to mention the already local and present mineral riches and mineral components that are critical to master the next steps in the development of the arms industry. Even the local uranium reserves, if KSA for whatever reasons wants to pursue this topic (which I believe is already happening as per official and public statements as well). Not many nations have this luxury in this regard.

Now if Arabs could start this process on a joint scale, through the Arab League or other Arab organizations, the sky would be the limit. Unfortunately have no doubt that most regional non-Arab states and world powers would be heavily against this as it would mean that they would be potentially losing 10's of billions of USD in arms deals with Arabs.

I think that Arab governments, especially given the Zionist/Israeli genocide, should understand that unity, in particular in terms of strategic sectors such as the local arms industry, need unified Arab solutions. Sure, Arabs in respective Arab states can expand and develop potent local arms industries but truly strategic projects (that can change the geopolitical equations) need to be joint projects for the sake of everyone involved.

I honestly, outside of political bickering and internal Arab rivalries, cannot see any reason why not to do this on a large scale. Probably it has already occurred behind closed doors but it would be great if we could get everyone onboard. As in everyone.

Most if not all Arab countries have started their defense industries at a variant level..

Now as far as Saudi Arabia is concerned.. the real manufacturing phase just started in 2023.. So it is a long road ahead for developing and manufacturing all the technologies acquired up till now!

TRDD MS-400 engine designed for subsonic unmanned aerial vehicles of different purpose and cruise missiles.. will be manufactured as a part of the Grom 2 missile system.. the cruise missile part of it..







Main advantages of the engine:

• high reliability;
• high fuel efficiency;
• low thrust-to-weight ratio;
• long period of operation and storage in aircraft and insignificant scope of maintenance operations;
• quick and reliable starting within wide range of environmental conditions as well as altitudes and airspeed;
• resistance to instability of engine inlet air pressure and temperature;
• capability of inadvertent surge recovery;
• compact and simple single-shaft design;
• built-in electric generator providing power supply to aircraft systems;
• electronic-and-hydraulic automatic control system which does not need adjustment during storage and operation;
• feasibility of air bleeds for aircraft needs.

Maximum power SLS, ISA Thrust, kgf (kN) 400 (3,92) SFC, kg/kgf•h (kg/kN•h)max ≤ 0.85 (86.6) Overall dimensions Engine diameter with respect to cowling, mm 315 Length, mm 850 Dry weight, kg 85

South Korea’s SMART SMR Gets New Life

January 18, 2020 by djysrv

• Saudi Arabia has updated its agreement with South Korea to complete a 100 MWe SMR, to license it for use in that country and to offer it for export.
• The joint project between the two countries, which began in 2011, had been stalled for several years, but is now moving forward.
• The renewed development agreement places South Korea in a pole position relative to Saudi Arabia’s planned tender expected later this year for two full size nuclear reactors.

(NucNet) The government of South Korea and the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy in Saudi Arabia have updated their agreement to create a joint venture for the construction of a low-power small modular nuclear reactor (100 MWe).



A three year $130 million feasibility study followed and has resulted in what could be a KSA commitment to build the first two units for a preliminary estimated cost of $1 billion. Assuming the cost of the 100 MWe units comes in at $4000/Kw, each reactor will cost $400 million with the remaining $200 million for balance of plant such as turbines, switch yard and grid improvements. Training of KSA experts to build and operate SMART reactors is part of the package.

* The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the reign of King Salman and within two years turned into an industrial country:

1- Transferring nuclear technology to fourth generation reactors and owning intellectual property rights, i.e. the possibility of exporting and modifying as required

2- Transferring transport aircraft technology with intellectual property rights to them that manufacture, modify and sell the number you want

3- Transfer of reconnaissance satellite technology with 50% ownership rights


There were also joint manufacturing deals or manufacturing with a license up to 2016.. Examples:

1- Manufacture of Black Hawk helicopters with a license
2- Manufacture of radars and electronic warfare systems in a JV
3- Manufacture of communication devices in a JV
4- Manufacture of 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition under license from Rheinmetall
5- Manufacture of munitions of the MK family for aircraft
6- Converting MK bombs to GBU by making smart parts under license at Advanced Electronics Company

Obviously there are 10s if not 100s of other JVs since..
