RIYADH: Prince Miteb bin Abdullah, state minister and commander of the National Guard, on Tuesday confirmed plans to purchase advanced war planes for the security organization.
“Our aircraft purchase plan is progressing well. We don’t face any obstacles,” he said.
Miteb made this comment while attending a graduation ceremony for the infantry regiment of the Prince Turki Brigade in Khashm Al-An, near Riyadh. He did not say what kind of aircraft the National Guard was looking for. However, he pointed out that his organization required aircraft with certain specifications. “It will take time as such planes will not be readily available like cars,” he pointed out.
