Pak Deploys 8000 Troops, Fighter Jets & Air Defence Systems In Saudi Arabia Amid War | Reports Pakistan has deployed about 8,000 troops, a squadron of roughly 16 fighter jets (mainly JF-17s), two drone squadrons and a Chinese HQ-9 air-defence system to Saudi Arabia under a confidential mutual-defence pact signed last year. Officials say the combat-capable force—financed by Riyadh and operated by Pakistani personnel—was meant to bolster Saudi Arabia if the kingdom faces further attacks. Islamabad’s move deepens military ties with Riyadh even as Pakistan plays a mediator role in the Iran war. Pakistan’s defence minister has previously hinted the pact extends Saudi protection under Pakistan’s nuclear umbrella. Pakistan and Saudi official spokespeople did not respond to requests for comment. #Pakistan #SaudiArabia #MiddleEast #IranWar #JF17 #HQ9 #PakistanArmy #DefenseDeal #MilitaryDeployment #GeoPolitics #PakistanSaudi #AirDefense #Drones #RegionalSecurity #RepublicWorld #RepublicTV #BreakingNews #RepublicNews #IndiaNews #LiveNews #RepublicExclusive #RepublicWorldLive #ArnabGoswami #RepublicDigital #NationFirst Watch this LIVE coverage as tensions continue to rise in West Asia amid the Iran conflict.
