Special Report, Armed Forces Of Saudi Arabia With Latest Equipment And Weapons




The Saudi military consists of the Saudi Army, the Royal Saudi Air Force, the Royal Saudi Navy, the Royal Saudi Air Defense, the Saudi Arabian National Guard – the ‘SANG’, and paramilitary forces, totaling nearly 200,000 active-duty personnel. In 2005 the armed forces had the following personnel: the army, 75,000; Royal Saudi Air Force, 18,000; air defense, 16,000; Royal Saudi Navy, 15,500 (including 3,000 marines); and the SANG had 75,000 active soldiers and 25,000 tribal levies.[3] In addition, there is a military intelligence service.
The SANG is not a reserve but a fully operational front-line force, and originated out of Abdul Aziz’s tribal military-religious force, the Ikhwan. Its modern existence, however, is attributable to it being effectively Abdullah’s private army since the 1960s and, unlike the rest of the armed forces, is independent of the Ministry of Defense and Aviation. The SANG has been a counter-balance to the Sudairi faction in the royal family: Prince Sultan, the Minister of Defense and Aviation, is one of the so-called ‘Sudairi Seven’ and controls the remainder of the armed forces.

  1. Saudi soldier cannot tolerate non-airconditioned tank. They treat their home servants worst than animals. They confiscate all the passport of immigrant and if one wants to leave they make a false case against him for theft etc, so the immigrant remain in jail forever or in worst case saudi kill him or apply death penality. Arabs are very cruel, greedy, rapist, liars, corrupt.... even those human who are born in Saudia or other arabs coutries are not giver their citizenship. arab waster their money on clubs, alcohol, shopping, cars etc while the rest of muslism suffer in poverty, lack of money, no food, no water, Rohinga muslims are suffering in sea and no coutnry is accepting them..they are dying for peace, shelter, foood, water, but Saudi are full of their lavish behaviour...they say paksitan or new muslim or half muslim , non-arabs and put most in jails and behead for crime they didnot commit but naaz is happy with saudi king devils as nawaz must make money, profit in saudi facotory where hindus work.. but nawaz need votes from pk public...
