In 2017 Russia and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement on the delivery of Russian-made S-400 air defence systems to Riyadh.
In the fall of 2017, following the results of a visit to Moscow by the King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, several defence contracts were signed. In particular, they discussed a memorandum on the purchase and localisation of the production of TOS-1A heavy flamethrower systems, Kornet-EM anti-tank missile systems and AGS-30 grenade launchers.
It was also reported that Russia and Saudi Arabia were preparing a contract for the supply of S-400 Triumf air defence systems.
