Saudi Arabia is not sitting idly by in the face of the growing threat from its neighbor Iran. In an interview with the American media, the Saudi Foreign Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Adel Al-Jubeir, hinted at the existence of cooperation with China for the production of ballistic missiles.
When asked if he could confirm reports about a ballistic missile production project in the Saudi desert, he replied: "Saudi Arabia will do whatever it takes to protect its security and the security of its people. Saudi Arabia has big defense plans. I can't talk about one specific one and what we are doing or not doing." We do."
When asked again "Do you not deny the matter (meaning local missile production)" he replied: "We are a sovereign country and we will do everything necessary to ensure the safety of our people. We do not comment on specific plans that we may or may not have."
At the end of last month, satellite images were revealed which, according to American intelligence, indicated that Saudi Arabia had built facilities for the production of ballistic missiles with the help of China.
