and the tubes could have come from Saudi stocks depending on the tank - they didnt just buy tanks but a lot of stores as well
and if you arent shooting the tanks then you have a lot of gun tubes that could be used for at least some of the tanks - I dont think they are all repairs
but keep in mind even if they did come from Europe they probably needed repairs anyway
see the raketenjagdpanzer earlier post about the state of tanks in Europe
