Saudi Arabia, which has more money than you-know-who, recently reached agreement with the Chinese government to purchase some "killer" drones made in the Middle Kingdom. The story, originally published in Tactical Reports, was posed on theverge.com.

Presumably the Saudis will use these drones against internal and external adversaries. Ironically, its two leading foes -- Israel and Iran -- also have active military drone programs. Meanwhile, Israel has been actively exporting drones for nearly a decade, according to theverge.com piece. Iran is an unlikely exporter, unless Tehran supports Hezbollah with the unmanned aerial killers.
