Of all the possible nuclear armed countries, Saudi Arabia's probably the scariest.
Even though the house of saud should be sent into space inside a rocket filled with their own shit I have a kind of romantic view of the royal saudi strategic missile force just because the original purchase of the DF-3's and the creation RSSMF was such a fuckin funny story of international tomfoolery and trickery. Bandar bin Sultan was like an unlikely hero, almost a don quixote of ICBMs.
The King's Messenger: Prince Bandar bin Sultan and America's Tangled Relationship With Saudi Arabia by David Ottaway. is a really entertaining book if you got time.
The saudis need to upgrade their missile stocks though. Its still not clear if they actually have DF 21's and the DF 3s are most certainly are reaching the end of their lives, unless for some reason they stored them without fuel, which would be very shocking.
It will be interesting to see where they go shopping for them. Any player in the game (yes even Israel as funny as that is) except russia is a possible seller to the saudis. Im sure they will try and acquire both nuke capable ICBMs and cruise missiles. They also already have attack aircraft that could be easily nuke certified.
Still wondering what the two unidentified missiles are in this display case.
