Summary

There were talks between Saudi Arabia and France about the Sawari III naval program for the

acquisition of FREMM frigates and submarines.

The old Sawari III structure is reported to remain dormant.

Riyadh intends to acquire new frigates, and U.S. defense companies are said to be the major competitors against Naval Group and Fincantieri.

Tactical Report has prepared a 356-word report to shed more light on the subject.
