[quote]Saudi King Salman has sacked the military chief of staff and a host of other top commanders, state media said on Monday, in a major shake-up of the defence establishment. The monarch also replaced the heads of the ground forces and air defences, as well as senior officials at the interior ministry, in a series of late-night royal decrees. No official reason was given for the sweeping overhaul, but it comes as the Saudi-led coalition’s military intervention in Yemen against Iran-aligned Houthi rebels nears the end of its third year.[/quote] [url]https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/27/saudi-king-sacks-military-chiefs-in-major-shake-up[/url]

[QUOTE]“A military transformation is under way in Saudi Arabia. The changes come on the heels of the SAMI exhibition, which is a critical part of the Prince Mohammed’s reform plan to create an indigenous defence program.” Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the heir to the throne and the son of the monarch, is the country’s defence minister and has been consolidating his grip on power in recent months.[/QUOTE] Kinda makes sense considering the crown princes push to become a absolute monarch's monarch over the past year or so.

[QUOTE=Anteep;53167065]a[B]n[/B] absolute monarch's monarch? who's that? god?[/QUOTE] It means the crown prince has been cracking down on ANY one who has a claim to the throne. He's had them arrested, disappeared and otherwise. He's quite literally trying to erase anyone who would question his claim to the throne or anyone the people might rally behind otherwise.
