The SAAF are ane o the best-fundit defence forces in the warld.[11] Saudi Arabie haes the warld's third lairgest defence budget.[10]

International Institute for Strategic Studies estimates in 2017 leetit a tot o 127,000 personnel (75,000 RSLF; 13,500 Navy; 20,000 Air Force; 16,000 Air Defence; an Strategic Missile Forces 2,500).[12] The RSLF figure is quite possibly inflatit. The Naitional Gaird, wi 100,000 personnel, mony tribal an anelie-available-on-callup, and 24,500 paramilitar personnel roond oot the figures. The IISS Military Balance leets reserve personnel when reliable figures are available, but did nae leet ony reserve personnel for Saudi Arabie.

History

eedit

The first steps towards biggin an institutionalised airmed force for Saudi Arabie bygane in the 1940s, when Saudi regulars nummered aiblins 1,000–1,500, Gaub saying that officers maistly came frae the Ottoman troops who haed served the Sharif o Mecca afore his being expelled in 1924.[13] A Meenistry o Defence wis creatit in 1944; a militar schuil foondit in Taif, and the Unitit Kinrick began efforts tae try tae build a professional force. Efter the failure of this UK programme, a subsequent U.S. programme which ran frae 1951 failed tae reach its objective an aw (the creaution for three tae five Regimental Combat Teams. Growth o the airmed forces wis slow, tae some 7,500–10,000 by 1953, and that growth halted towards the end of the 1950s because o poleetical factors (the Free Officers in Egyp; twa plots bi senior officers; an internal Saudi power struggles).
