Saudi Arabia to purchase Iron Dome after the departure of the American Patriot.
According to Al-Khaleej Al-Jadeed, the Israeli website “Breaking Defense”, which deals with military affairs, revealed that Saudi Arabia is interested in purchasing the Iron Dome missile defense system produced by the Zionist company “Rafael” in Tel Aviv.
According to the Zionist website, the Iron Dome of Israel is one of several options that the Saudi government is currently considering following the withdrawal of American patriots from Saudi Arabia.
The website also said that Saudi Arabia was seeking to use Chinese or Russian missile systems to replace US missile systems.
According to the Breaking Defense website, Saudi Arabia currently prefers the Israeli Iron Dome, manufactured by Rafael, and considers it one of the best systems against short-range missiles in the region, designed to intercept cruise missiles.
The website added: “Saudi Arabia had previously contacted Israel to discuss the possibility of buying Israel’s Iron Dome through low-level talks, but after the US decision to withdraw some of the Patriot systems, these talks became more serious.” A possible agreement, if implemented, would require the approval of the United States.
The Zionist website pointed out that the Yemeni missiles are dangerous because of the accuracy with which they hit their targets.
