Royal Saudi Arabia Armed forces

[The SC]

By promising not to use them against Israel, or any other equally vile entity, to prevent ethnic cleansing, genocide etc.

Did you know that when KSA bought its first F-15s..it was asked by the US not to station them in bases near Israel..but after receiving them.. Saudi air force did just that..i.e, stationed them in the closest air base to Israel..

Get your facts right ..

102 Passengers? Dude what is this, a ferry ?

Saudi Avanti has the latest quality of Exocet B3C

Exocet is excellent and more than enough, and its anti-jamming ability is very high..

Keep in mind what happened in the Falklands War, with the Argentinean Exocet's.

Keep in mind what happened in the Falklands War, with the Argentinean Exocet's.

OF course KSA remedied to that ever happening.. it integrates its own electronics on every system it procures..not for nothing the Saudi policy of condition of getting ToT with every system bought..and from anywhere and anyone including the US..

Kind of.. HaHa!
They mean naval officers and sailors..

It's complacency or indifference to the genocide next door, states otherwise.

No honorable Muslim would sit on the sidelines, yet here we have .................

Yes here we have .....the whole Muslim world..

 

[The SC]

Please dont insult the whole Muslim world, because of the cowardice of the Egyptians, and the Saudis.

Right next door, and didnt lift a finger, utterly disgraceful.

Had these two actually stood up, the whole Muslim world would have supported them physically, financially, in every way possible. Unfortunately, they let a good 1bn+ people down.

Oh you put all the blame on Egypt and Saudi Arabia.. and the rest would have helped them!? how do you know that?

Can the Muslim world today confront the US and NATO in a direct war? just be honest with yourself..You know it is not about tiny Israel alone..

 

[The SC]

and they were much inferior to the Israeli F15's, yes we know.

How do you know..or you are inventing things from your pocket?

Lockheed Martin and Fincantieri Marinette Marine are building four MMSC ships for Saudi Arabia, which will carry the Mk41 Vertical Launching System (VLS), Combatss-21 combat management system and MBDA’s CAMM Extended Range (ER) Missiles.

The MMSCs sensing capabilities will be provided by a Hensoldt TRS-4D AESA radar and Thales Captas Variable Depth Sonar (VDS).

The Combatts-21 system on the MMSC ships, is built from the Aegis combat management system library.

Lockheed Martin continues to work with local partners to identify what systems and components can be integrated locally in a drive to assist the development of local Saudi industrial capability.

A key area of capability development is the facilitation of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).

These are built for the Saudis from the ground up with everything they wanted..

They are fitted out as multi-mission ships from the get-go, so they don't have modules. They can do ASW, air warfare and surface warfare with the permanently installed systems they ordered.

Saudi Arabia orders SM-6 missiles on LCS FREEDOM

View attachment 36580

By having the SPY radar and the SM-6 missile, you almost have the whole Aegis..

The LCS has 16 MK41 launch cells.. 8 are designated for the ESSM.. These 8 cells hold 32 ESSM missiles (each cell carries 4 missiles).. There are 8 cells that can carry the SM-6.

The SM-6 is worth every penny paid for it. It is truly a multi-tasking monster that combats everything from air targets to sea targets to short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles to its use in targeting ground targets. What distinguishes it is that it carries a dual active and semi-active radar seeker, which enables it to be applied to its targets in the final stage without the need to illuminate the target from the guidance radar of the launch pad... Its MK125 warhead has also been updated to reach its weight of approximately 115 kg, which is a highly explosive fragmentation head with a tremendous ability to penetrate, without talking about the missile’s enormous ability on maneuvering with a duration exceeding 300 km...

This missile SM-6, Standard 6, or RIM-174 - called ERAM, which means active missile with extended range. It is a new air defense missile with a length of 6.55 meters, a diameter of 530 mm, and a weight of 1,500 kg. It uses a two-stage propulsion system used in each a solid-fuel rocket propulsion engine that reaches a speed of Mach 3.5. Its improved range in the Block 1 version reaches 200 nautical miles, or about 370 kilometers, and it can reach an altitude of 33 kilometers.

In addition to its great range, speed and power, this missile, which was developed based on the Block 4 version of the Standard 2 missile, can rely on itself in the final stage of its guidance towards the target, which is the landing stage, and this depends on the fact that it is used in addition to the semi-active guidance...also guidance. Active radar using the AMRAAM missile's seeker head... This means increasing the overall ability to engage multiple targets at the same time for each Frigate.

Raytheon's Standard Missile-6, already deployed in anti-air warfare and as an interceptor for ballistic missiles at sea, has now proven effective capability against targets in anti-surface warfare.

The SM-6 is a very capable missile.. One missile with one hardware configuration performs all three missions.

It is an anti-aircraft missile, anti-drones, and cruise missiles. It deals with ballistic missiles in their final stage and intercepts them at an altitude of 35 km.

The Block 1A version of the missile has the ability to target ships and land targets..

The missile destroyed five targets in "over-the-horizon, engage-on-remote" missions. Those tests, in part, confirmed SM-6's ability to engage threats beyond the sight of operators on the ship, using its own radar..

Saudi Arabia is Interested in the land version of the Aegis..

Saudi Arabia displays the Korean K239 Chunmoo ballistic missile system



For the first time, the South Korean-made K239 Chunmoo multiple rocket launcher system, developed by Hanwha Aviation, has been spotted in Saudi Arabia.

In photos shared by South Korean defense observer mason on his X account, the Saudi-operated Chunmu system is noticeably equipped with a CTM-290 tactical ballistic missile pod.

The inclusion of the CTM-290 tactical ballistic missile underscores Saudi Arabia's increasing focus on long-range strike capabilities.

In March 2022, Saudi Arabia reportedly signed an agreement to purchase Chunmu multiple rocket launchers, following in the footsteps of its Gulf neighbour, the United Arab Emirates, which previously acquired the system.



The selection of the Chunmu multiple rocket launchers by both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, with their tactical missile capabilities, highlights the shift in the defense doctrine of the Gulf states, enabling them to carry out long-range precision strikes.



CTM-290 tactical ballistic missile:

The 600 mm CTM-290 missile is capable of hitting targets up to 290 kilometers with high accuracy, with a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of about 9 metres. This makes it an effective weapon for precise long-range operations.
K239 CHUNMOO v. HIMARS

The K239 Chunmoo is a direct competitor to the US-made HIMARS. Analysts said its capabilities are on par with HiMars, offering a similar level of performance.

The Chunmu system is used by countries such as South Korea, Poland and several Middle Eastern countries, and can fire missiles of various calibres, including 130 mm, 227 mm, 239 mm and 600 mm, with ranges of 36 km, 80 km and 290 km. Its versatility makes it suitable for diverse operational requirements.

Key features of the K239 Chunmoo include high-precision targeting, rapid deployment within five minutes, rapid reloading and tactical mobility, providing ground forces with enhanced operational flexibility.
