Saudi Prince Mohammad, Lockheed Martin and MMCS dealnote

Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz, who also acts as Defence Minister, still hopes to achieve a frigate deal with Lockheed Martin in favor of the Eastern Fleet of the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF). He is said to be showing interest in a deal for the Multi-Mission Combat Ship (MMCS) rather than for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).

Tactical Report has prepared a 428-word report to shed more light on the subject and tell what about the contacts between Prince Mohammad and Lockheed Martin on the MMCS deal. [Partly reproduced in TR Weekly Issue No 24/22 – June 2, 2017]
