US officials are reported to have been increasingly disappointed and
frustrated with Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman plans to
purchase the advanced S- 400 defence system from Russia and his alleged
role in the murder of Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi who was killed
inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Reuters news agency quoted Saudi sources as saying on Tuesday that bin
Salman has asked to purchase the S-400 Russian air defence system and to
shift focus on purchasing advanced weapons from Russia.
The sources explained that the US officials have been surprised that the
Crown Prince has recently urged the Saudi defence ministry to explore
alternative weapons supplies from Russia because it is considered an
opponent of the United States.
