yes, I mentioned that a few posts earlier. There is definitely a strong rumor about this. Quite obvious they were going hard after Middle Eastern customers.
Chinese military exports to other countries
- Thread starter tphuang
- Start date
so far, looks like they announced the following
$4 billion order including 300 CH-4, $200 million TB001 productoin line, 15 YJ21E and $1.3 billion silent hunter system. Anticipating that more announcement will come in the December visit.
That's a lot of CH-4.
Which YJ-21E would it be? VLS version or air launched version?
I don't think is is air launched for the very simple reason that Saudi aerial assets aren't compatible. Unless of course they buy a drone capable of lobbing it.
according to this Weibo account. Algeria have purchased more LD air defense system from China to protect their oil field.
Also word is that Saudis will sign more contract in December.
This is after the earlier UAV announcement and this one for LY-70 and silent hunter. This is for LY-70
The Saudis are going everywhere looking for partners in providing defense for their oil industry against Houthis and Iranian suicide drones. Looks like China is stepping in and picking the Sunnis ahead of Iran. It's a good decision imo. Irans reluctantly sees China as a partner because they don't have much choice. China should not do anything to help Iran.

Algeria is playing it smart. Who knows what the Europeans will do once they figure out they need energy for real instead of printing more Euros.
As for Iran, I think I know who helped them make their air defense systems, do you really think Iran did weapon systems like the Bavar-373 all their own? Well I do not.

according to this
Algerians have so far purchased CH-5, WL-2, 120 mm mortar and HJ-12 ATGM from China. I heard about CH-5 and WJ-700, don't recall WL-2.

I think the website is pretty dubious and probably relies on OSINT like we do. It is pretty hit or miss.
