Some aerial footage of Saudi Eagles and Typhoons

Found and posted after a long day yesterday, having had after a brief look at the PPRune thread regarding the situation in Yemen I posted it here

Wow what a beautiful video, great find!

Very nice indeed, but what's with the lumpy helmet at 1.55 and later?

[DUI]

The helmet bumps have infra red LED's so the Typhoons avionics can figure out which way the pilot is looking, this allows the pilot to identify possible targets without pointing the aircraft at them.

for a better explaination. I have on occasion seen RAF pilots in the loop wearing them.

Now that was worth watching.

High level of photography as well as competently flown aircraft.
Idle thought; some Arab hot head led countries probably wish Saudi would join in a future war against Israel.

[Vulcanone]

That's not very likely given that some who are friendly with Israel are working with equally good kit with the Saudis out in Yemen
