沙特阿拉伯国家的

The superpower that once saw its strategic role in the region as an "offshore balancer" has since the Gulf war of 1991 been very much onshore, with bases in the Persian Gulf and, for the time being still, a large army and air force in Iraq. America continues to have a vital interest in the region's oil and remains the chief armourer and presumed protector of Saudi Arabia and its GCC neighbours. Because America is also Israel's great defender, American policies have a sharp impact on all the Arab states affected by the Palestine conflict, on the fate of the Palestinians themselves and on the internal standing of regimes that are seen as American allies or dependants.

这个曾经将自己在该地区的战略角色定位为"离岸平衡手"的超级大国自1991年海湾战争之后，便已深深陷入其间，它在波斯湾设有基地，而且到目前为止依然在伊拉克驻有大量陆空部队；该地区的石油仍是美国重大利益之所在，它也继续扮演着沙特阿拉伯及其加入海湾合作委员会的邻国的首要军火提供者和假想中的保护者；又因为美国同时身兼以色列的主要保护者，因此美国的政策对于所有受巴勒斯坦冲突影响的阿拉伯国家、巴勒斯坦人自身的命运以及那些被视为美国盟友或依附者的政权的国内声望都有着强烈的影响。

Although Eurofighter has secured Austria and Saudi Arabia as export customers and is pitching the Typhoon at countries such as Greece, Japan, Romania, Switzerland and Turkey, India is the most likely partner because of the size of its requirement and the fact that it is determined to develop its aerospace industrial base.Another factor is that Eurojet is separately bidding against General Electric to supply the EJ200 for an improved version of India's single-engine Tejas light combat aircraft.

目前虽然"台风"战斗机保住了奥地利和沙特阿拉伯两个客户，正争取能出口到希腊、日本、罗马尼亚、瑞士和土耳其一些国家，但印度是最有可能的国家，因为印度的需求量大，并且决定发展本国的航空工业。

But others that have lived, albeit grumpily, with Israel's basement bomb for years—including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, possibly even Turkey—are unlikely to wait to find out.
