The United States has approved a potential $24.3 billion sale of 48 F-35 Lightning II fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, along with 49 Pratt & Whitney F135 engines, communications systems, spare parts, training equipment and extensive logistical support. The deal still requires congressional approval. The proposed sale could mark a major shift in the military balance in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia potentially becoming only the second country in the region to operate the F-35 after Israel. Riyadh has sought the advanced stealth fighter for years as it looks to modernize its air force and strengthen its military capabilities. #f35 #mohammedbinsalman #donaldtrump #mbs #trump #f35lightningii #saudiarabia #unitedstates #ussaudi #saudiairforce #lockheedmartin #fighterjets #stealthfighter #middleeast #israel Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
