I looked into the Saudi situation a bit more and it turns out that the Royal Saudi Air Force has 5 E-3 AWACS and 7 KE-3 tankers plus -- I missed this one -- an RE-3A SIGINT recon aircraft, which likely is very similar to the USAF and REAF RC-135s, but using a Boeing 707 airframe.
Those fat cheeks on the RE-3 (and RC-135) no doubt have a plethora of antennas in them.
