| #5 I bet the Chinese are hustling hard to get into maintaining Saudi toys - but so far Saudi contracts with US prohibit it. At some point getting all new Chinese hardware and maintenance contracts will be cheaper than maintaining and adding to existing American origin hardware, and the Chinese will no doubt offer some serious 'loss leader' prices on Migs, etc. |

| #4 This spending on military toys has been ongoing for a while. They fear the Mullahs. Joke is, due to their lazy inbred children, no one can keep these toys going for long. Most likely try to bring in Germans. They could try Russkies, but they have an inherent mistrust of the Bear. Americans chafe too much living in the Magic Kingdom. French probably can't even maintain their own systems, let alone any others. |
