From that moment it became abundantly clear the position of Saudi Arabia on the Russian invasion in the Syrian war with consequences on the oil market, Russia dramatically changed its rhetoric and even began to make mistakes very very base nature.
It is worth noting that Arabia became one of the most desirable markets most advanced weaponry. To break into the list of suppliers, pink dream of any manufacturer of arms. Not for nothing was the most significant exhibitions in this profile. Someone can say that the Indian market is more capacious, but the Indians put forward for the suppliers conditions of technology transfer and deployment of plant in their territory. There is nothing new here, same thing tried to do the Russians with the "Mistral", but failed.However, with such conditions does not agree to all the suppliers who are reluctant to share advanced technology. Arabia takes the finished product, which entails maintenance contracts, spare parts and stuff that much more attractive. In General, the market of Arabia, and other rich countries closed to the Russian military industrial complex.
In addition to all the troubles that inevitably follow from the Russian foreign policy and this applies not only to Syria, but the supply of weapons to Iran, Moscow has made absolutely fatal mistake. The famous phrase Lavrov to the Minister of foreign Affairs of Arabia, was adopted as a personal insult. Given the fact that there is a monarchy, things like king takes on your account and it will be paid sooner or later. if not the present king, then heir.Putin, of course could bring Lavrov in Riyadh and bring him before the king, or the Lavrov, and his head, but Putin is clearly not a lion and this cannot do or has already run out of polonium. In any case, in such situations, Putin is behaving like a Jackal, had donned the hide of Shere Khan. In short, Putin now has another charismatic leader who wishes to hold his Adam's Apple.
And here we will make two lyrical digressions, which then will be clear. Fans of the "Russian world", live in the Crimea certainly did not expect to get what they now have. They thought that now they each will be given personal nipple, after which they will suck the profit from oil and gas, to full satiety. But this somehow has not happened because they certainly something suck, but obviously not profit. Tellingly, in addition to the flow of tourists, electricity, water and normal products, they have lost so far do not think.Being an official part of Ukraine, they lived in peaceful, nuclear-free state, which has almost no enemies. There was one and they decided that it is a friend. Now everything has changed. Putin brought to the Peninsula of nuclear weapons and threatens them on all sides. This situation makes the Crimea a potential target for retaliatory or preventive missile, and perhaps a nuclear strike. Moreover, from Sevastopol and Feodosiya leave the troops who are the real war and, by definition, are a legitimate target. It must itself be clearly understood.
The second deviation has to do with the reaction different degrees of stoned Russians, who flooded the Network requirements to strike at the oil fields and oil loading terminals Arabia. It is understandable, if all of the TVs on the belt falls out the Deputy speaker of Hostory and spluttering yells that it is urgent to bomb Germany, along with Merkel or throw a nuclear warhead in the Bosphorus, Istanbul has washed away. In short, the Russians very excited for this theme. And now it will be clear what these derogations.
In the late 80-ies of the last century, Saudi Arabia had strained relations with Israel and Iran. With Iran if all was easier — it was under sanctions and could not fill up the army with the latest military hardware from Israel the situation was more complicated. Not only that, there have long mastered missile technology, but Israel has a nuclear weapon. The truth is that Israelis themselves never confirmed, but act on the principle of: nuclear weapons do not exist, but if it is applicable.This situation was an unpleasant surprise for Riyadh, because the States guaranteed them safety, but overslept the Israeli nuclear program.
The Kingdom has decided to act more decisively and entered into secret negotiations with China, which set Arabia in a few dozen missiles DF-3A / CSS-2 by NATO classification. It's pretty old. oil, alsostudent missiles, but with a pretty impressive performance. If distance is 2.8 thousand km, the rocket throws high-explosive warhead weighing 2.15 tonnes with an accuracy of 1 km. Initially the missile was produced under a nuclear or even thermonuclear warhead, but in Arabia came to 120 missiles with conventional warhead.
The piquancy of the situation is that the States didn't know until the beginning of deliveries of the first missiles. Only after this, and according to Israeli intelligence, the situation became clear. States demanded access to their specialists to control the supply of missiles for the absence of nuclear heads. It was a long time ago and if not for this incident, no one would really knew. how are things with rocketry in Riyadh. They weren't seen neither the tests nor to use those rockets.Apparently — followed the example of Israel.
20 years later, oil prices went to record and gave Arabia joined the new, compact, solid-fuel rocket Chinese production DF-21A. Unlike mine its predecessor, this missile is used in the mobile version and can throw more than 0.5 t charge at a distance of 2.7 km with a precision of about 100 m. Since the exact and official data on the number of missiles does not exist, the system assumes the presence of several hundred of these missiles, which were exported from China in 2007 and placed 5 bases of missile troops.
There is another question, the answer is still no, namely: does Arabia nukes? Officially, like Israel, but not officially — who knows?
And here we imagine that Moscow has placed on the Arabian oil fields. Not considering the allied obligations, which took over some countries, including the US, Riyadh has to respond personally. If launching missiles will be carried out from the mines or mobile systems near bases, guaranteed can enjoy all of the Crimea, along with Sevastopol, Rostov, Volgograd and everything to the South, along with Sochi and Novorossiysk and Bicharova Stream. That is, the Crimeans should be very careful about rossolinski calls to bomb Arabia. They have enough on the "do not want". Especially should think Sevastopol.Their city already has turned into a cesspool, but can be much worse. There is another option, if mobile systems will fire back from the Northern borders of the Kingdom. Then they will have enough fuel just to Moscow. Oh, and for all that South.
Thus, the Russians should remember priskazka of those who first raised the sword, or hanging around with him in foreign lands. So it is better not to threaten South Central, there may be anything and even that makes a huge, glowing mushroom, though a two-ton bomb is also not weak bakhnt.
