In a package worth $800 million, Saudi Arabia has requested follow-on support and services for Royal Saudi Air Force aircraft, engines and weapons; publications and technical documentation; support equipment; spare and repair parts; repair and return; calibration support and test equipment; logistics support; and other related elements of programme support.
