If you want to know about the Saudi official support of SISI, read the article below, from the Economic Times, according to Wikipedia the second-most-read English-language financial journal in the world, after the Wall Street Journal.. It is published in India.
Russia is having a field day. It wants to support Iran in Syria, what better way than to support the Shia in Iran than by supplying fighter planes to Bagdad., and with no downside to Russia. At the same time, Russia gets in a poke at the US for the US's support of Ukraine.
Incidentally, SISI is the mortal enemy of Al Qaeda, and both seem to be the mortal enemy of the West. Whom do you wish us to bomb, Senator Graham?

NEW DELHI: India has sought Russia's help to secure the release of its abducted citizens in insurgency-hit Iraq, turning to its trusted old partner even as it is trying to negotiate with the militant group ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) that kidnapped the construction workers in Mosul.
The government had discussed the issue with the Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin on his visit to Delhi last week, officials said. Simultaneously, the government is heavily relying on Saudi Arabia, which has influence in the region and within ISIS, the officials said, adding that Saudi Arabia has assured India that the kidnapped nationals are safe and receiving ration.
