  "account": "Political analyst Saeed Al-Qadi asserts that the Sarawat and Tuwaiq projects intend to bolster combat systems and fortify security and stability in the region and beyond. In an interview with Al-Ekhbariya TV, the analyst explained that the Saudi Arabian strategy revolves around deterrence and peace, highlighting that the Saudi armed forces are guardians of peace, not threat or aggression. Al-Qadi emphasized that Saudi Arabia's historical stance has been one of deterrence and support for security and stability, both regionally and internationally. He noted that bolstering combat capabilities and systems is an integral part of fostering security and peace, countering threats, and maintaining regional and global stability. The Royal Saudi Navy is actively working to improve its combat systems, raise operational readiness, and enhance both human and technical skills through strategic projects as part of its modernization efforts. Among these projects are the Sarawat and Tuwaiq initiatives. These projects signify a substantial shift in naval capability development, centered on modernizing combat systems, transferring technology, localizing military industries, cultivating national expertise, and upgrading naval infrastructure. These endeavors align with Saudi Vision 2030's objectives of establishing a resilient national defense industry and enhancing the armed forces' operational readiness.",
