Arabia Saudită primește "undă verde" pentru 48 de F-35. SUA au aprobat un contract de 24,3 miliarde de dolari. Decizia finală se mută în Congres

The U.S. has approved a potential sale of 48 F-35 stealth aircraft to Saudi Arabia, valued at $24.3 billion, pending Congressional review. This deal could significantly enhance Saudi military capabilities amid regional tensions, particularly with Houthi rebels in Yemen and conflicts involving Iran. The F-35s would modernize Saudi air forces and improve defense interoperability with U.S. forces. However, Israel has expressed concerns about Saudi access to this advanced technology. The approval is part of a broader trend of military acquisitions by Saudi Arabia in response to escalating security challenges in the Middle East.
