A new development has emerged regarding the potential shift in the military balance of power in the Middle East region. The issue of the US supplying 48 F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia is being discussed. This step is considered a significant event that could impact the military and political situation in the region.
Redaksiya reports that the Donald Trump administration is reviewing Saudi Arabia's request to purchase 48 F-35 fighter jets. According to information, this issue could result in the signing of a multi-billion dollar deal before Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit. According to a report by Reuters, this sale has the potential to change the military balance in the Middle East.
The sale of these aircraft will significantly increase Saudi Arabia's military capabilities. F-35 fighters are aircraft equipped with modern technologies, possessing high maneuverability and stealth flight characteristics. The provision of these aircraft to Saudi Arabia could lead to other countries in the region also increasing their military power, which in turn could lead to increased tension. Details regarding the issue are still being clarified, and discussions are ongoing.
