i cant see the photos

anyways im glad that we did this but a bit frustrated that we didnt go in as full partners! there was a huge opportunity there.
we could have invested money on some of the planes to make them lighter, greener, more fuel efficient with a reasonable price and cheep maintenance.
they could have gained a better market share in cargo and military planes. and some small cheap civilian planes
disappointing >>_*

The cooperation is just a milestone and could evolve to making military fighter jets in the near future. Its a good step for KSA military industry. "Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean, and the pleasant land''.*-^
