Washington to sell F-35 jets to Riyadh
The United States has agreed to sell 48 F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia valued at $24.3 billion, to strengthen its defensive capabilities and enhance compatibility with American forces. The deal comes in the context of a series of major arms purchases made by Saudi Arabia in 2026 and highlights the strategic partnership between the two countries, without affecting the regional balance of power, according to the U.S. State Department. Congress has been notified of the approval, and the delivery date is expected to be scheduled, with no anticipated impact on the balance of power in the region.
