Royal Saudi Arabian Strategic Missile Force

[FuturePAF]

The one thing that Muslim countries should have ASAP is interoperability. Today, if Godforbid someone attack Turkey. Pakistan can not defend them. And vice versa. The way we all would want to. Because we are not trained to use any of their military equipment that they have.

The basic and common military equipments like assault rifles, tanks, fighter jets etc.... they should be common among Pakistan, Turkey, KSA, Qatar, Egypt, and Iran etc.

I agree, this is why Saudi, Pakistan, Qatar, and Egypt should adopt many Turkish and Pakistani systems in development. Sharing technology, training engineers, having multiple factories to make the same product, so war damage will put supporting equipment out of commission. A pool of efforts by these countries could help accelerate these projects and bring costs down.

What turkish defence industries can do (for Pakistan and for its own survival) is to shift atleast 25% of their production capacities to Pakistan.

Why ?

Because if turkey have any conflict with israel or greece... these plants in turkey will be the first targets. So to ensure military equipment supplies to its forces incase of war. Turkey need backup production plants outside Turkey.

And in peace times, these plants in Pakistan will fulfill our needs and may even be used for export of Turkish military equipments to other countries...


I just realized we are off-topic. But still, that's what I hope for.

Most of KSA's underground bases (expanding as several OSINT users and satellites photos over the years have confirmed - with a lot of activity just within the past 1 year), ballistic missiles etc. have been constructed with Chinese help.

China has sold some ballistic missiles to Saudi Arabia. Because Saudi Arabia lacks the complete operational, maintenance, and base construction capabilities, PLARF established a dedicated agency to handle related matters. This agency is part of the cooperation agreement between the two countries. Their main responsibilities include base construction and missile maintenance. ------ This is a standard "after-sales service" agreement and should not be over-interpreted.

Just an idea, Pakistan have been investing heavily in its conventional rocket and missile force with alot of newly introduced medium-long range missiles. As part of the Pak-KSA defence deal, can a future deployment of Pakistani missile force under Pakistan rocket force command be explored in KSA ? Like is it something that make sense and is under consideration ?

Many Pakistanis (including you) have many misunderstandings about ARFC.
