Makes sense. Would you ever look to Tanzania or El Salvador for critical defense systems? No? So why would you buy American?

This. The South Koreans take Russian SAM system principles and improve them by having them be designed, built, and maintained by non-Slavs.

Americans for offence
Russian for defence

Yeah, pretty much.

K30 Biho trialed in KSA approximately 2 years ago

It's not gonna help.

This. The Saudis will never stop any attacks regardless of what equipment they have.

yeah guessing the quality will be slightly better than chinkshit, yet still slav-shit that's been downgraded indigenously just to make uncle Sam happy

>Russian for defense
Assad would like a word with you

>South Korean
Thats even worse than the inflameable American plastic shit they have now

FFS, the Sauds could lease a battalion of Gundam's from the weebs and still somehow lose to flip-floppers with pointy rocks

Assad is still alive... Lets hear what Gaddafi has to say.

Won't fix stupid. If they want the Houthi's to stop it, they have to plow it with 100k troops and root them out of their holes and blow them right the fuck out.

KM-SAM and L-SAM would be useless for the attacks they've faced. The K30 could be used for point defense on soft targets but they have too many soft targets for that to be practical without buying more then the Koreans can sell.

Assad is alive and well in his palace, and his country is now nearly 90% under his control thanks to Russian weapons and assistance.

Seethe harder faggot.

Gaddafi's only mistake was thinking the Europeans would ever have his back.

>Saudis absolutely refusing to do any kind of parts commonality

God their logistics is a fucking mess

>Implying it wasn't the Iranians who shored up Assad

>buy abrams

>get hit by RPGs from the rear and then act confused

He also thought cooperating would mean he would avoid Saddam's fate. He was wrong, and his fate sealed any possibility of anyone beleiving the American establishment.

What Russian weapons and assistance? The S-300 batteries that have never effectively engaged anything, or the Russian air support that never effectively engaged anything?

>roll out fuckloads of MRAPs
>go into the mountains because Houthis for some reason own territory in a war you're invading

To be fair the presence of the S-300 batteries and overrall Russian presence has limited the IAF to PGM raids from the periphery of the Lebanese mountains where air defences can't effectively target them. This also means they cannot fully leverage the capabilities of their airforce and it shows. Hundreds of airstrikes in Syria, and yet it hasn't been reflected on the ground.
Have they stopped the overall Syrian advance? Nope.
How about supporting the Israeli-aligned FSA just across the border?
Green-bussed to Idlib
They certainly stopped some Iranian weapon shipments and killed a lot of militants and cratered infrastructure and humiliated the Russians, and Iranians, but that's it. The Iranians are still weapons and supplies and men, and the Russians are still there and the Syrians are still advancing and recovering their country bit by bit. At best the IAF was a nuisance in this conflict.

>Assad is still alive
Thanks to the good graces of the countries which routinely ignore or destroy his SAM umbrella.

>DIE FOR ASSAD, KUFFAR

Shit point. There are strikes right in Damascus to this day. The IAF never loses anything. Russian air defenses have failed.

Moreover they don't even care about "results on the ground", they don't care about shitskins fighting other shitskins. They're targeting hezbollah and iranian arms depots and we have no idea how affected they are.

Why doesn't assad ever retaliate when israel bombs him? Why doesn't his air defenses stop these attacks?

Russians are fighting and dying for syria. They would have to bomb Russians to stop the overall advance and Netanyahu is on good terms with Putin and doesn't want to risk nuclear war anyway.

Assad and co. wouldn't last a day without russian gibs and blood.

ThisOh really? Assad is alive right? Syria didn't get iraqd right??

Saudis are interested in the laser weapon system Koreans are developing

newsarticleinsiders.com/saudi-eyes-south-korean-anti-drone-weapons

>The Saudi Arabian request followed South Korea’s latest announcement of a project to develop laser weapons to shoot down drones and other small aerial targets.

>According to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, the military will spend some $74 million to develop the anti-drone weapons systems codenamed Block-I by 2023 for operational deployment.

>“The laser weapons system is to be capable of directing lasers from optical fibers at aerial targets at a short distance to take them down,” the DAPA said in a press release. “It can react quickly to threats and is capable of firing a number of shots without physical bullets and shells.”

>Relying on electrical power, the system is economically efficient since it costs only around $2 per shot, the agency said.

>“The Saudi delegation showed a keen interest in the progress of the laser weapons development at the time,” an ADD source told Arab News on condition of anonymity. “As we have successfully developed this anti-drone technology for years, it could help Saudi bolster its air defense system, particularly against drones, in the near future.”

Because he's trying to stay in power, he cannot afford to anger the US or Israel too much.

seems like Assad got on fine without the Russians for many years, the biggest problem was obongo cramming foreign fighters into the meat grinder for "democracy"

Why would you kill your bitch, he does a good job of being fucked in the ass and swallowing. Kill him and you gotta train a new bitch.

The Israelis have been successfully bombing targets all over Damascus. If long range air defenses can't fight off 4th generation aircraft at long ranges maybe it's finally time to accept that they clearly suck at it.

Also Israel is bombing Iran forces inside of Syria and only destroy Syrian air defenses that try to stop them. They can't fail at achieving something when they aren't even attempting it.

>Shit point. There are strikes right in Damascus to this day. The IAF never loses anything. Russian air defenses have failed.
The Russian air defences weren't ever activated except for explicit attacks on Russian bases and as escalation response (whenever US threatens to bomb Syria etc.). There are plenty of evidences the Israelis coordinate their strikes with the Russians which makes sense - Iran is but an ally of convenience and both are lowkey jockeying for influence within Syria itself. The more Iran (and Syria) suffers, the stronger the Russian position becomes. The P in Putin is Pragmatist after all.

>Moreover they don't even care about "results on the ground", they don't care about shitskins fighting other shitskins.
What is Operation Good Neighbor for $500, alex?

>They're targeting hezbollah and iranian arms depots and we have no idea how affected they are.
Judging by how successful the Iranian effort at transferring their drone and missile technology to the Houthis, who are under the strictest blockade on the planet right now, it wouldn't matter anyway. The Shia crescent is a meme - any jackass with a port can slip tons of stuff and with PGMs you don't even have to ship as much to inflict a huge damage.

He actually does. His air defences shoot at incoming PGMs and IAF jets whenever the opportunity presents itself. As for stopping well, didn't say they had a damn good air defence compared to the Russians.

That's just what I said.

lol guess after they got their shit kicked in by roach lasers in Libya, they go for the only laser system available to foreigners

still wont help though, because they are incompetent arabs

There's gonna be a lot more blind peoole in SA when they get this stuff

The main issue is geography. Any radar, be it Russian, American or Israeli cannot see through mountains. Do note that even ancient ass S-200s only need but a few minutes of LOS before it downed that F-16.

Roaches are arab and their weapons barely work

whatever came out of that F35 that got shot down by a "bird"?

Wow. They managed to shoot down a single jet in 4 decades of being constantly shit on by the jews. Truly impressive.

a bird strike is far more likely than Russian AD hitting something

So is the ROK in this for money and not rocking Uncle Sam's boat? What's the deal?

I simply pointed out that "never" is an incorrect word, stop being so defensive.

Muh they threaten us and we backdown so therefore Israel is weak and we're totally not their bitch.

By that logic russian provided ATGM slamming into synagogues means that kikes are weak and russias bitch.

How did a concrete criticism like
>your air defenses don't work
Turn into dickwaving about
>being weak
>being a bitch

Lose your train of thought Moishe?

ok gooks, have fun with your slav-knockoff hyundai AD system. I'm sure it's top quality shite

saudi arabia can buy weapons from the entire fucking planet and still be the most inept fighting force in existence

ssething

Yeah, in his control, aside from all the economically profitable part...

Name a single incident during the 21st century where a synagog was targeted or hit by Russian ATGM. Or are you just fantasizing?
