Saudi Arabia grows frustrated as Western allies leave requests for more defensive military support unanswered, despite Britain providing an air-refueling aircraft

Saudi Arabia is increasingly frustrated by what it sees as limited military assistance from Western allies, Bloomberg reported, as the kingdom’s requests for additional defensive support remain unapproved.

Britain has provided an air-refueling aircraft. Separately, the Associated Press reported in September that Saudi Arabia had asked France, Britain, Pakistan and Egypt to deploy air-defense support amid Houthi missile and drone attacks.
