#2 I don't get this - surely the Saudis realise what could happen here? Are they having their arm twisted in some way perhaps?

#3 It not like the Saudis or anybody else knows or can maintain the system, though I am sure the Chinese would love to take a look.

#6 What's not to like? One of our worst enemies has consented to having us do everything short of placing transponder beacons on their aircraft so they can be more easily shot down.

Amidst all the Saudi hue and cry about America's role as "the great satan," somehow we nonetheless are seen as the lesser evil. That terrorism should come to be regarded by the Saudis as being more demonic than the devil himself, while rich in irony beyond all words, should surprise no one.

#7 Is there a way to let Israeli aircrafts pass through Saudi airspace without the tech-backwards locals realizing what's going on?

Kalle,
We dont need that, we simply direct the Zionist
desynaptifier beam at the locals, and drive through their country with blue and white painted
SUVs.

#13 To assure pilot saftey, Saudi aircraft now show all contacts as friendlies.

#14 Just FYI, the outfit I worked for in Saudi manages these contracts and built the entire Saudi C&C system. Been running it for about 19 years, now.

There is much about the Saudi setup that would truly amaze people... and none of the good stuff is above ground. Massive (and I mean massive) self-contained facilities with supplies, equipment, arms, vehicles...

To borrow one of Fred's favorite lines, "I can say no more!", lol!
