Its sad to hear such news. Saudi Arabia manufactures all types of armoured locally and still look for more abroad.

I think that it is amazing to see more vehicles which can be useful for the country and Sauda Arabia has the money to spend so hope they buy the vehicles which will be more advanced and also hope that the politicians don't overspend on these vehicles and use the money wisely in the areas which are needed and improve the economy. It is nice to see what can happen when there is a good communication between two countries and also it shows how business deals happen and also being cost effective is a way to save money in the process. It is going to be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks and also hope the deals work and we see more carrieers brought from overseas and it can be a good thing to have deals with foreign countreis and it will show that there is trust and also a good relationship.

It's best to leave no stone unturned. I think that's what SA officials are thinking right now when deciding military matters. Yes, the country manufactures quality armored vehicles, but how strong are these vehicles compared to the other products manufactured elsewhere? Importing armored vehicles manufactured outside could help SA benchmark best practices.
