U.S. boosts Saudi military power
The United States has agreed to offer potential military sales to Saudi Arabia valued at approximately $5.75 billion, including advanced air munitions and engines for ground equipment. The deal encompasses more than 10,000 JDAM-ER guidance kits and unguided bombs weighing 500 and 2,000 pounds, with the capability to convert traditional bombs into precision-guided munitions, enhancing their range and flexibility. The agreement also includes the sale of 60 AGT-1500 engines to support the readiness of ground forces. This reflects Saudi Arabia's efforts to strengthen its defensive capabilities and maintain regional stability amid rising security threats, particularly from drones, missiles, and attacks on critical infrastructure.
