[Mondo] 빈살만의 한국 방문이유 (feat. 포브스)

[Red eye]

한국은 구매자에게 무기 기술 이전과 시스템을 현지에서 제조할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다 . 사우디아라비아는 향후 10년 동안 소규모 국내 무기 산업을 기하급수적으로 확장하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다.

리야드는 이미 사우디 땅에서 중국 드론을 제조하기로 중국과 계약을 체결했으며 터키의 Bayraktar TB2를 현지에서 제조 하기 위한 공장도 원하고 있습니다 . 서울은 리야드에 다양한 시스템에 대해 유사한 조치를 제공할 수 있습니다.

"한국과 사우디아라비아 간의 국방 관계는 지난 10년 동안 비교적 새로운 것입니다. 2013년과 2017년에 국방 및 정보 협력을 강화하기 위한 협정이 체결되었습니다." 위험 정보 회사 RANE의 선임 중동 및 북아프리카 분석가인 Emily Hawthorne은 " 나에게 말했다. "그러나 사우디아라비아가 자국 군수 산업에 상당한 투자를 하고 사우디아라비아가 미국 장비에 대한 확고한 의존에서 벗어나 군수품 공급 범위를 다양화하기 위해 노력하면서 최근 몇 년 동안 협력이 가속화되었습니다."

(South Korea offers purchasers of its arms technology transfers and the opportunity to manufacture systems locally. Saudi Arabia aims to expand its modest domestic arms industry exponentially over the next decade. Riyadh has already signed an agreement with China to manufacture Chinese drones on Saudi soil and also wants a factory for locally manufacturing Turkish Bayraktar TB2s. Seoul could offer Riyadh similar arrangements for its various systems.

"Defense ties between South Korea and Saudi Arabia are relatively new within the last decade; pacts were signed to boost defense and intelligence cooperation in 2013 and 2017," Emily Hawthorne, a senior Middle East and North Africa analyst at the risk intelligence company RANE, told me. "But cooperation has accelerated in recent years as Saudi Arabia has significantly invested in its own domestic military industry, and as Saudi Arabia has worked to diversify its range of military suppliers away from a firm reliance on U.S. equipment.")

또한 한국은 사우디아라비아의 현재 요구 사항에 맞는 첨단 무기도 생산합니다.

Hawthorne은 "사우디아라비아가 관심을 가질 가능성이 가장 높은 한국 무기 유형은 지대공 미사일 시스템을 포함한 대공 무기"라고 말했습니다. "사우디아라비아는 Houthi 드론의 위협에 직면해 있으며 오랫동안 인근 라이벌 이란에 대한 미사일 및 드론 방어를 강화하기 위해 노력해 왔습니다."

(Furthermore, South Korea also produces advanced weaponry that fits Saudi Arabia's current requirements.

"The most likely type of South Korean weaponry Saudi Arabia is interested in is anti-aircraft weaponry, including surface-to-air missile systems," Hawthorne said. "Saudi Arabia faces the threat of Houthi drones and has long sought to boost its missile and drone defenses against nearby rival Iran.")

한국은 리야드가 군사 무기를 실질적으로 다양화하도록 도울 수 있습니다. 폴란드는 현재 미국으로부터 250대의 M1A2 Abrams 주력 전차를 대량 조달하는 것을 포함하여 막대한 군사력 증강을 진행하고 있습니다. 바르샤바는 한국에서 무려 1,000대의 K2 블랙 팬서 전차, K9A1 썬더 자주포, K239 천무로켓포, FA-50 경전투기 48대를 동시에 도입하고 있다.

(Seoul could help Riyadh substantially diversify its military arsenal. Poland is presently undergoing an enormous military buildup, including a large procurement of 250 M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks from the United States. Warsaw is simultaneously acquiring a whopping 1,000 K2 Black Panther tanks, K9A1 Thunder self-propelled howitzers, K239 Chunmoo rocket artillery, and 48 FA-50 light combat aircraft from South Korea.)

사우디 아라비아는 원한다면 유사한 인수를 감당할 수 있으며 가까운 미래에 미국에 대한 과도한 의존도를 줄이기로 결정할 수 있습니다. 

최근 워싱턴 에서는 Opec+의 석유 생산 중단 결정에 대해 리야드에 대한 미국의 무기 판매를 중단하라는 요구가 있었습니다. 더 많은 한국 무기를 획득하면 리야드는 잠재적인 미국의 무기 금수 조치를 더 쉽게 극복할 수 있을 것입니다.

(Saudi Arabia could afford a similar acquisition if it wanted and may decide to in the foreseeable future to lessen its heavy dependency on the United States. There were recent calls in Washington to suspend U.S. arms sales to Riyadh over the Opec+ decision to cut oil production. Acquiring more South Korean weaponry would enable Riyadh to more easily weather any potential American arms embargo.)

Saudi Arabia And South Korea Are Forging Closer Defense Ties

군사기술을 이전?? 미국이 대 사우디 무기수출 엠바고 한 걸 한국산으로 대체하여 미국의 엠바고 무력화 효과를 노리는 것 같습니다. 과연 미국은 어떻게 대응할까요? 아니면 미국과 한국이 합의된걸까요? 어휴... 참고로 구글번역을 이용했음을 알려드립니다.

미국 대신 미국 친구와 친구가 되려는 모양이군요. 이미 꽤 전부터 관계를 맺고 있긴 했지만.. 최근 더욱 군사적으로도 매력적인 구매처인 것도 사실이고.

미사일 기술이전 같은거 해줄거 같아서 무척 심히 염려스럽습니다.

또한 한국이 중국이 못채워주는 약한 고리를 몇 개 갖고 있죠 ㅋㅋㅋ
