Arabia Saudită ar putea deveni a doua țară din Orientul Mijlociu cu F-35. Acordul cu SUA valorează 24,3 miliarde de dolari

The U.S. has approved a potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, valued at $24.3 billion, pending Congressional approval. Saudi Arabia requested 48 F-35s and associated equipment. This move follows recent attacks on Saudi facilities by Houthi rebels, raising security concerns. The U.S. asserts that the sale will not disrupt the military balance in the region, emphasizing its commitment to Israel's military advantage. The F-35 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter developed by Lockheed Martin, designed to evade radar detection. The deal remains a proposal until Congress reviews it.
