Saudi oil fields were attacked. Why are the air defense weapons purchased by Saudi Arabia from the United States being spit out?

Recently, the situation in the Middle East has attracted attention. The attack on Saudi oil field caused a large amount of oil loss and brought huge economic losses to Shatian. In 20 16, Saudi Arabia and Washington signed a large arms sales order worth 1 1000 billion dollars, and prepared to buy the most advanced weapons and equipment from them. At the time of the attack, the Patriot missile had been deployed, but it failed to make a sound, causing the drone to attack the Saudi oil field "unscrupulously". In other words, Saudi Arabia spent hundreds of billions of dollars to strengthen national defense, but in the end it was all in vain.

Although in recent years, Saudi Arabia has frequently purchased various air defense weapons from the United States, even American-made fighters, with a total value of more than 654.38 billion US dollars, in Trump's view, these purchases are not enough. Trump believes that Saudi Arabia's purchase of weapons and submission of protection fees should be paid separately. After 2003, Saudi Arabia did not have a US military base, but recently faced with the pressure from Iran and Hu Hanwu, Saudi Arabia felt a serious threat and proposed to send troops and air defense units to the United States. However, since entering the country, the White House has intentionally or unintentionally hinted that Saudi Arabia will pay "protection fees" to the United States.

The analysis of the missile wreckage publicly displayed in Saudi Arabia is very similar to the Quds- 1 cruise missile made by Houthi armed forces in Yemen, and the Quds cruise missile is a cottage version of the Iranian Somar cruise missile. Although the performance is weakened, the range can reach 1000 km.

Experts said that from the current situation, the US Patriot 3 missile defense system purchased by Saudi Arabia at a high price may not have the function of defending low-altitude small targets at all. Simply put, Saudi Arabia was defeated by the United States.
