Recently, Saudi Prince went to Russia and met with Russian President Putin and discussed a range of issues. There are reports that Saudi Arabia wants to buy arms from Russia.

It looks the Washington's policies are alienating their Arab allies. They are leaning towards Russia.

Saudi Arabia , traditionally the most loyal client of western defense contractors plan to buy helicopters and other things from Russia. It is reported that Russian government's arm exporting agency , RosoboronExport is finalizing deals with Arab countries.
