US to sell F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia
The U.S. government has approved a deal worth approximately $24.3 billion to supply Saudi Arabia with 48 F-35 Lightning II fighter jets, along with 49 engines produced by Pratt & Whitney, as well as long-term technical and logistical support services. The goal of the deal is to modernize Saudi Arabia's air defense capabilities and strengthen military deterrence in the region, while emphasizing that these systems will not lead to a change in the regional military balance. This move comes amid escalating tensions and includes the provision of precise communication equipment, spare parts, and ongoing technical assistance.
