Middle East is about to change! Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have formed a military alliance, and the Pakistani J-10C may be stationed in Saudi Arabia, making China the biggest winner.

What the United States does not want to see has happened. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have signed a defense agreement stipulating that an attack on one of the countries will be considered an attack on both.

In the future, whoever attacks Saudi Arabia is attacking Pakistan; whoever attacks Pakistan is attacking Saudi Arabia.

This also means that Pakistan might station soldiers in the Saudi capital. At that time, the J-10C and the FC-1 "Kite" fighter jets may also be stationed there.

It must be said that the India-Pakistan air battles have significantly raised Pakistan's international status, even prompting Saudi Arabia to come and seek Pakistan's support.

However, this move by Saudi Arabia is also a desperate one. After all, Israel has attacked seven countries: Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar, and Yemen. Other Arab countries in the Middle East are unsure whether they will be the next target.

Especially worth noting is that Qatar has maintained good relations with Israel and even played a mediating role in the negotiations between Israel and Hamas. However, even so, Qatar could not avoid being attacked. Its advanced weapons purchased at high prices from the United States were of no use at the critical moment. This reality has seriously shaken the "weapon-for-security" model that the US has long promoted in the Middle East.

Although there have been many wars in the Middle East throughout history, many countries still believe that as long as they form an interest community with the US and pay high military purchase fees, they can receive protection from Washington.

However, the harsh reality is that security is not a commodity. When a real crisis arises, the US may not help at all, and it may even remotely lock down the weapon systems already sold.

China may become the biggest winner. Whether it is cooperation with Pakistan or the deployment of the HQ-9B in Egypt, it reveals an information that Middle Eastern countries have realized that Western weapons are no longer reliable.
