Why Saudi Arabia's huge military budget buys so little battlefield success
Original: Daily Briefing Oct. 15 – Why are the Saudis so poor at war despite spending billions?
The Times of Israel's daily briefing for October 15 leads with a question about Saudi Arabia's military: why the kingdom performs poorly in war despite spending billions of dollars on weapons and defence. The briefing highlights the gap between the country's massive procurement budgets, largely from US and Western suppliers, and its battlefield results in regional conflicts such as Yemen.
Why now: Ongoing Saudi involvement in regional conflicts and its massive arms spending keep debate alive about why its military underperforms.
