Subject: RE:The Royal Saudi Air Force - A Paper Tiger, Minus the Tiger

Great post ex-expat. Having worked with MODA and SANG, I can only add this:

As ineffective as the Republican Guard has shown in two Gulf wars they have held their own against Iran and would have run rough-shod over the Saudi Arabia military if not for coalition forces coming to their rescue.

Since the Republican Guard was considered such a great threat to the House of Saud - is there any doubt regarding the capability of the Saudi military to even be able to fight it's way out of a wet paper bag?

But hey, the Boeings, Raytheons, Vinnells, BDMs, DynCorps, Northrup-Grumans, and Lockheeds sure made some huge profits selling the House of Saud a "house of cards" in regards to military capability.
