Имеется ли информация о судьбе китайских ракет в Саудовской Аравии?

В конце 80-х гг китайцы продали туда несколько десятков жидкостных БРСД DF-3 (CSS-2). Это едва ли не единственная в мире сделка по продаже БРСД. Последний справочник Military Balance (на 2004 г) по прежнему пишет про наличие у этой страны 10 ПУ и около 40 ракет. А были ли где-либо оценки, что с ними происходит реально?

Re: Имеется ли...

Здравствуйте, уважаемый А.Никольский!

Любые писания на эту тему носят, как Вы понимаете, заведомо "сосательный" характер, но вот что пишет Jane's Sentinel Security Assessment 2004-2005:

Saudi Arabia

Strategic Weapons

Saudi Arabia acquired Chinese-designed and manufactured Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBMs) in 1988, as part of the kingdom's bid to become a regional power. Saudi Arabia turned to China after the US refused to sell it short-range ballistic missiles. The kingdom is believed to have acquired 50 conventionally-armed CSS-2 (Dong Feng 'East Wind' 3) missiles in a multi-billion dollar deal. The missiles were actually an upgraded version of the Dong Feng 3, designated as the DF-3A, which has a range of 2,400 km with a 2,500 kg payload and improved accuracy of 1,000 m Circular Error of Probability (CEP). Prelaunch preparation is believed to take two or three hours. According to a June 1990 report citing Israeli intelligence sources, the missiles were deployed and operational at two sites: Al-Sulayyil, about 500 km south of Riyadh, and Al-Jufayr, 100 km south of Riyadh. According to the article, each site had four to six concrete launch pads and storage facilities for a large number of missiles. Satellite imagery of the Al-Sulayyil facility published in March 2002 by the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot showed a large complex, consisting of two launch areas and a support area, nestled in a desert wadi.

The Saudis were reported in mid-1997 to have approached Beijing and Moscow for a possible replacement for the CSS-2 missiles. According to some reports, Riyadh fears that the ageing, liquid-fuelled missiles might no longer be reliable. There has been speculation that Saudi Arabia is seeking to replace these Chinese-built IRBMs with Pakistan's Ghauri II (Hatf 6) system. Saudi Arabia is not a party to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which seeks to curb proliferation of missile technology.
