Saudi Arabia is continuing its move away from the West and closer to Russia and China after a Government Publication confirmed that they have indeed, already bought the Russian-made Pantsir-S1M Anti-Air System.

The System was reportedly bought just earlier this Year in February 2024. In Theory this means that the Saudi Arabia should be sanctioned by the United States (US) thru their Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), but when it comes to Saudi Arabia, the US is fearful and hesitant to go up against them in any Way because of their Position as a major Supplier of Oil in the World.

Several Saudi Arabians have reportedly already finished their Course in Terms of operating and maintaining the Pantsir System. The Pantsir-S1M is a Self-Propelled Anti-Air System with its own Radar and two 30 mm caliber Autocannons with a Range of up to 4 km, and several 57E6M Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM) with a Range of up to 30 km.
