مفاد الخبر أن المفاوضات مستمرة لشراء 48 طائرة تايفون من قبل المملكة العربية السعودية لتكون إضافة على ماتم شرائه مسبقا وهو 72 مقاتلة. وبذلك يصبح العدد الكامل لمقاتلات التايفون في حال إتمام الصفقة هو 120 مقاتلة حربية.
يبدو أن سبب تأخير إتمام الصفقة هو تغير النظرة السعودية من عمليات الشراء إلى عمليات نقل التقنية، ولذا يتضح أن إتمام الصفقة مرتبطة مع مشاريع الرؤية السعودية 2030.
LONDON — Talks over an order for a second batch of Typhoons for Saudi Arabia are ongoing, BAE Systems’ head of government relations has told British lawmakers.
“We are still talking to our Saudi customer about the next set of requirements,” Bob Keen told the Defence Select Committee on Tuesday. “There are a raft of issues that surround that, including our continuing commitment to the Vision 2030 agenda and investing in Saudi Arabia, where we already employ 6,000 people. I wouldn’t want to put a date when we would secure more business, but we are working absolutely flat out to make sure that is as soon as possible.”
The executive didn’t expand on issues surrounding Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, a Saudi government plan to wean the country off its dependence on oil and diversify the economy into high-tech sectors like aerospace; but it may be connected with the amount of work the Saudis expect to be undertaken locally on any new Typhoon order. The original Saudi deal for 72 aircraft included a commitment by BAE to undertake a degree of local assembly, but that plan was eventually shelved.
The Saudis have 72 Typhoons and have been in talks for several years now over a further batch of about 48 jets.
