I think it's important to bear in mind that the Saudi defense forces for decades have been show forces; they buy expensive gear, then fail to maintain and train on it.
- Animatronio 3y agoYes, so I've read but still the Patriot they lost to a Houthi drone strike was recently bought from Greece, so I think it was fairly new and well maintained.
- greedo 3y agoThe equipment may be fine and up to date (though missile versions vary widely), but that doesn't mean the operators are up to snuff.
