(Asien) Saudi Arabien: Rüstungsvorhaben und Planungen

[Vanitas]

Hier ist eine detailiertere Liste zu dem Deal:

• 4 Littoral Combat Ships made by Lockheed Martin for $6 billion. It includes a better-armed version of the ships, support equipment, munitions like the Raytheon Co.’s Evolved Sea Sparrow air defense missiles and electronic-warfare systems (so called “Multi-Mission Surface Combatant Ships”).
  

• 60 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from Lockheed for about $5 billion.
  

• 48 CH-47 Chinook helicopters and related equipment built by Boeing for $3,5 billion.
  

• 3,000 tail kits to convert unguided munitions into GPS-guided bombs sold by Boeing.
  

• 115 M1A2 Abrams tanks made by General Dynamics as well as munitions, and heavy equipment recovery systems.
  

• Some Pac-3 Patriot hit-to-kill missiles by Lockheed and probably Lockheed’s Thaad anti-missile system, which intercepts incoming missiles at higher altitudes than the Patriot.
  

• A $18 billion program to upgrade Saudi Arabia’s military command-and-control structure.
