In a significant reinforcement of its long-standing security alliance with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan has deployed 8,000 troops, a full fighter jet squadron, and a advanced Chinese-built air defense system to the Gulf nation, according to a exclusive Reuters report published on Monday. This incremental buildup of Pakistani military personnel and hardware in the kingdom began in early April, marking one of the most tangible commitments to the bilateral mutual defense accord signed just months prior.
