Attention is heading to Riyadh with the start of the Chief of Staff of the South Korean Air Force, Lee Yong Soo, a 5 -day official visit to Saudi Arabia. This visit, which started today, Monday, aims to deepen the bonds of defense and military cooperation between the two countries, and to explore new horizons in the field of weapons and military technologies.

According to the official South Korean Yonhap, Lee Yong Soo will hold a series of high -level meetings with senior Saudi military officials. These meetings are expected to include the head of the General Staff, the first team, Fayyad bin Hamid Al -Ruwaili, and the Commander of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Turki bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The visit schedule also includes the inspection of the Saudi Air Force Air Force Center, and the visit of a local air academic.

It is noteworthy that the defense relations between Riyadh and Seoul are witnessing a remarkable development. In 2023, the former South Korean President, Yun Siuk Yol, made an official visit to Riyadh, during which he met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and agreed to develop relations in all fields, including the military and defensive field. June 2019 also witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement in military manufacturing between the two countries, which contributed to enhancing joint cooperation in manufacturing weapons and vehicles and improving military technologies.

Saudi Arabia is developing a smart bullet directed by laser: a new leap in the capabilities of tactical sniping​


1754385184478.png

Saudi Arabia is seeking to develop a "smart bullet directed by laser" to consolidate its position as an advanced industrial and military power, a development that is not limited to enhancing the accuracy of snipers, but opens the door to a regional revolution in smart ammunition that can change the balance of power in the fields of war.

Cross sources reveal that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is silently developing an advanced ammunition, known as a term as "laser -oriented bullet", to be the nucleus of a new stage of the accuracy of individual fire in the theaters of operations. This project comes in light of the Kingdom's orientation towards possessing advanced armament techniques within the Vision 2030, and its continuous assertion of localization of 50% of its defensive spending.

Technology background: the development of smart munitions globally

The past two decades have seen tremendous leaps in the field of smart ammunition, especially in the tactical sniping environment. The United States has developed the "Exacto" bullets directed by the laser, while Russia has tried accurate munitions of its snipers in urban battles. These innovations changed the nature of the engagement, as the snake is no longer forced to fully stabilize or wait for the perfect moment, but it can rely on electronic intelligence to correct the path.

Saudi motives to develop a smart bullet

Saudi Arabia focuses on three main motives:

  • Localization Strategy: The development of the bullet is in line with the plans of the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) to enhance self -sufficiency in defense manufacturing.
  • Exact superiority in special operations: Smart ammunition provides a decisive advantage in environments such as Yemen or anti -terrorism confrontations.
  • Technology deterrence: The announcement of the possession of such capabilities is an implicit message to regional opponents about the extent of technical progress.
Expected technical characteristics

It is estimated that the Saudi smart bullet depends on:

  • A small laser sensor picks up steering signals.
  • Adjustable accurate fins correct the path while flying.
  • The effectiveness of up to 2 km with a deviation not exceeding several centimeters.
  • A built -in system to deal with wind and thermal deviation.
The bullet can change the rules of the game, especially in distant distances that require absolute accuracy.

Military and strategic influence

Saudi Arabia's possession of this technology will give its own units exceptional capabilities in:

  • Targeting individuals with high importance (HVTS) with extreme accuracy of safe distances.
  • Reducing side damage, which enhances the operational reputation in front of the international community.
  • The silent horror tactics of the opponents who will realize that they are targeted with unconventional technological accuracy.

The countries of the region will also be stimulated to catch up with the trend, which may open the door for a regional race in accurate armament intelligence.

Possible challenges

Despite the clear benefits, Saudi Arabia faces several challenges:

  • Training and Integration: Sniper needs qualitative training to use the system effectively.
  • Ethical considerations: Does this bullet turn from an accurate tool into a way to liquidate political opponents? Can it always distinguish between the enemy and the civil?

These questions impose themselves strongly with the development of silent war tools.

An invitation to think

The development of the laser -oriented smart bullet remains a big step towards consolidating the position of Saudi Arabia as an active and innovative country in the defensive field. But the most important question: Are we facing a new stage of "privatization of accuracy" in wars, where the bullet becomes smarter than its holder? The future of smart munitions in the region is a candidate to be one of the most hot and effective files in the coming decades.
