Saudi efforts continue to boost air defense capabilitiesnote

Saudi efforts to purchase new anti-missile and counter-drone systems are said to have been slowed down by the Covid-19 pandemic and the plunge in oil prices.

Meanwhile, the repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks against Saudi targets have added a sense of urgency to the Kingdom’s plans to upgrade its air defense capabilities, particularly the defenses protecting oil fields and facilities.
