Saudis Can't Absorb U.S. F-15s
TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Saudi Arabia was not expected to absorb any huge military
aircraft transfer by the United States.
A report said the Royal Saudi Air Force could not train sufficient
numbers of pilots and support personnel for its planned purchase of fixed-
and rotary-wing aircraft from the United States. The Institute for National
Security Studies said the air force would be forced to rely on Western
contractors to operate the platforms.
