At end of the day it's objective reality that none of Saudi Arabia's US supplied modern weapons will work in a conflict with Israel, e.g. their F-15s would be unable to target Israeli jets assuming they can even take off.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing, I was thinking perhaps they imported more parts from Japan or Taiwan.
Because Israel and West uses weapons made in Saudi Arabia, and Saudis will simply switch them off.
when it comes to war almost 100% of countries are deterred by sanction threat from US if a country has half decent living standards. so its moot point what kind of weopons it purchases. Saudi own population is less than 20m so it is not like they can built factories to make there own weopons. Saudis invaded Bahrain with western weopons and defeated Houthis.
Anglos are not a warrior race, as much as they would like to believe it; they are not Chechens or Pashtuns. They don’t even have the strong sense of family essential to these cultures. Anglos as a culture are a merchant piratical race hence why they are perfectly fine suing family members or putting their parents into nursing homes before even attempting to perform their filial duties.
I pulled on that thread so see where it led. Not very far. Skydio is almost alone in its drone maker category and it left the consumer market last year. It's received about $0.5B private equity money and hasn't filed an S-1 with the SEC. So living off government and business contracts only. So far I see no signs of an "omnibus" contract so each contract must be individually priced and terms negotiated. This is expensive for a small business and greatly increases overhead costs which are rolled into product costs which results in fewer drones out the door and RDTE starvation spiral.
