Concerning the French AMX-30 DCA they were indigenous to France only. However and I have seen the destination made between the types from other sources, the Saudis showed interest in the AMX-30 DCA and in 1975 ordered 53
new units to be designated the AMX-30SA. Deliveries were made between 1979-1982. Most likely in the same deal they also ordered 12 new SHAHINE SAM Systems that were delivered from 1980-1982. Data from SIPRI hopefully the link below will get you there. Search criteria France>Middle East>Saudia Arabia>1950-2000>Anti-Air Weapons Systems. From 1975-1990 seven contracts were agreed to and delivered between 1979-1991. Other air defense systems ordered were the SHAHINE ATTS and CROTALE.
