Selon moi sa sera:

- Drone Anka-A
- Milgem
- Des super Boats Yona Onuk Mrtp-33
- Des blindés (Pars, Cobras, etc..)
- Des équipements électroniques
- Modernisation d'un partie de l'armée

Et plus tard, pourquoi pas des chars Altay. la version armée de l'Anka-B, etc..

faudrai dabord voir l´Anka ops et le Altay rouler,comme les T129 ops aussi...apres vous pouvez etre sures de contrats

Il a dit ''selon moi'', donc il rêve éveillé, faut pas lui gâcher ce plaisir. Il n'est pas interdit de rêver.

C'est vrai, comme disait Murad Bayar, le Haut-Secrétaire à la défense nationale: "On vends ce qu'on produit."

Donc, on vendra ce qu'on produit déjà. Pour un montant de 2 milliards $, je mise sur les modernisations et l'achat de navire de guerre et blindés.

Royal Saudi Air Force to Participate in Anatolian Eagle Exercise




The Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) will participate in the Anatolian Eagle 2011 military training exercise, scheduled to commence next month in the central Anatolian province of Konya, Turkey.
The RSAF will be participating alongside Jordan, Pakistan, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, the US and Turkey in the exercise to be held from 13 to 24 June 2011, according to Saudi Arabian newspaper Al Jazirah.
The paper quoted Deputy Defence Minister Prince Khaled Bin Sultan as saying, "These kinds of exercises to be carried out with Arab, Muslim and friendly countries will bring in a significant contribution to the air forces in regards to gaining combative capabilities."
The Anatolian Eagle exercise, which is a joint international military exercise, was changed by Turkish military into a national military exercise in 2009 in a move to exclude Israel from participating.
A delay in the delivery of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to Turkey from Israel has been linked to the exclusion.

Saudi Arabia Mulling BMD-Capable Destroyers



Saudi Arabia, which has long considered the purchase of American littoral combat ships (LCS) with a lightweight Aegis combat system, is contemplating the acquisition of new DDG 51 Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers that could be fitted with ballistic missile defense (BMD) capability.
The U.S. Navy briefed Saudi officials in late May on the capabilities of the destroyers, which would be far more powerful than any ship currently in the kingdom's service.

The U.S. Navy would not confirm whether the brief included BMD options, but sources did not deny that it was part of thepresentation.
Saudi Arabia has been looking at Aegis-equipped LCS designs from both Lockheed Martin and Austal USA since mid-2008. Those designs, which range in size from 3,000 to about 4,000 tons, would be equipped with SPY-1F lightweight Aegis radars similar to those fitted on Norwegian frigates. But the SPY-1F lacks the fidelity and software to perform the BMD mission, and the ships probably wouldn't have the electrical capacity to power a BMD radar.
The U.S. Navy's 9,100-ton DDG 51s are the heart of the fleet's BMD force. About 20 U.S. cruisers and destroyers have had their SPY-1D Aegis systems upgraded to perform the BMD mission, and more are being backfitted. Future DDG 51s will be built with the BMD capability.
A land-based Aegis BMD system also is under development by the U.S. for deployment in Europe as part of that continent's missile defense shield.
Capt. Cate Mueller, spokesperson for the U.S. Navy's acquisition office, confirmed that the "non-binding price and availability (P&A) rough order of magnitude estimate was delivered in May" to the Saudis.
The brief, she said, included information on the capabilities and prices of "medium surface combat ships with integrated air and missile defense capability, helicopters, patrol craft and shore infrastructure."
Saudi Arabia is in the midst of a major weapon upgrade for its armed services. The Saudi Naval Expansion Program II is said to be considering the purchase of up to a dozen new warships worth, according to various media accounts, between $20 billion and $23 billion.
The recent U.S. brief provided options that included buying a mix of destroyers and LCS vessels, sources said. One source said the Saudis were considering the purchase of two destroyers plus an unknown number of LCS vessels.
No decisions have been made by the Saudis. Back-and-forth talks are continuing between the countries, a Pentagon source said, with no deal imminent.
The Navy and Lockheed Martin are awaiting feedback from the Saudis, Paul Lemmo, Lockheed's head of Mission Systems and Sensors, said June 10 through a spokesman. He confirmed that Lockheed supported the U.S. Navy's presentation.
Acquisition of Aegis BMD would provide the Saudis with a considerable anti-missile capability, possibly in excess of any other gulf-region country, including Israel.
"The DDG 51 is the most capable destroyer on the planet," said one naval expert. "If the Saudis get anything like that, it would be quite significant."
A seagoing BMD capability would minimize terrorist threats to the system, said one senior retired naval officer.
"It's much more difficult to defeat it - a truck bomb doesn't matter," the retired naval officer said. Moreover, "you can move a ship to a particular threat axis. It's much harder for the other guy to plan against."
But Iran, the primary threat in the region, already operates three Russian-built Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines and is acquiring more small subs, all able to threaten ships at sea. But identification of the target may prove difficult, particularly if an Iranian sub was trying to target Saudi but not U. S. ships.
The addition of BMD-capable ships in the gulf would help the United States, which already maintains at least one such ship in the region.
"If the Saudis always have one in the gulf, it makes it easier for the U.S. Navy to meet its commitments in the region," the retired senior naval officer said.
Several other countries already operate the Aegis system or are building it into new warships, and Japan's four Aegis destroyers are BMD-certified. But the transfer of such high-level technology comes with risks - which could become a concern in Congress, particularly after this year's "Arab Spring" featured anti-government uprisings in several countries.
"If you think the kingdom isn't long for this world, a fundamentalist takeover could put a system in the hands of the enemy," the retired senior naval officer observed.
He harkened back to the late 1970s when prerevolutionary Iran, led by the shah, was a U.S. ally. Several highly capable destroyers were under construction for Iran when the shah fell.
Those ultimately were not delivered, but earlier, the U.S. had certified Iran as the only ally to receive F-14 Tomcat fighters equipped with the Phoenix air-to-air missile, then a state-of-the-art capability. Those aircraft and missiles all fell into the hands of the anti-U.S. Iranian government.

PARIS: Ground manoeuvering concerns kept Saudi A330 tanker away


Airbus Military decided against bringing a Saudi Arabian multi-role tanker/transport (MRTT) to the Paris air show due to the tight parking conditions available in the static display area earlier this week.

The first of six A330-200-based MRTTs for the Royal Saudi Air Force had been expected to visit Le Bourget, even as Airbus Military was delivering Australia’s second example and also was supporting trials activities with the type for the UK Royal Air Force.

“There wasn’t enough room to display the aircraft,” said a company source, who noted that it had already committed to bringing its A400M “Grizzly Three” and C-295 AEW airborne early warning and control system demonstrator to the show.

With other large aircraft including a US Air Force Lockheed Martin C-5M, Boeing’s 747-8I and two A380s also in the display area, Airbus’s military arm decided that it could be risky to manoeuvre the tanker into a parking spot. While the decision meant a disappointment for show-goers, it may have been a good call, given the mishap which embarrassed its parent company when the starboard wingtip of A380 MSN4 struck a building on 19 June.

Airbus did, however, exhibit a commercial A330 alongside the A400M at the show on Friday for China Southern.
