Interesting insights on the true levels of ability within the Saudi military from previous posters.
Given the kit they've got, the money they have and the support from the UK and US, I'd always assumed if it came to a war with Iran, the Saudis would crush the Iranians.
But then - reminded of the old stories of the Saudi fast-jet pilots who were too scared to fly their Lightnings...
So - if a shooting war broke out - God forbid - and the Saudis really were pushed back into an extreme corner by Iran - don't they have certain understandings with Pakistan to get their hands on certain ultimate pieces of military kit?
Even given the supposedly neutral to warm relationship on the surface between Pakistan and Iran.
The darkest conspiracists might even suggest that those pieces of kit may be in Saudi already?
