US President Trump:
Visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Washington
won't just be an official meeting.. Rather, it will be a celebration and honor for the Kingdom and its leadership.

Saudi Arabia also submitted a request to purchase F-35 fighters as part of strengthening defense cooperation between the two countries.

I'm looking into it
They asked me to look into it

They want to buy a lot of F-35 fighters
And they want to buy more than that fighter
 
US official to Bloomberg: Trump will most likely agree to sell F35 to Saudi Arabia

Can you move this thread below


to the Arab section?

After all it is about KSA and is most fitting on this section.

Anyway not the least surprised if it gets approved. KSA is the largest, richest and geopolitically most important nation in the region. Religiously (Makkah and Madinah, birthplace of Islam) culturally (Arabic and Islamic culture), linguistically (Arabic the by far most spoken language in the Muslim world and most influential - not a single language in the Muslim world that Arabic has not influenced tremendously, even influenced numerous European languages profoundly (Spanish, Portuguese - some of the most spoken languages in the world themselves), 1 of the 5 official UN languages) etc. as well.

I think, as usual, most Muslims cannot understand the unique nature of KSA as a country (never colonized by the West, never influenced by the West like practically every single Muslim country has been), 100% "made in home" local bureaucracy, local rulers, system of governance etc. Meaning none of the typical complexes that many Muslim peoples deal with due to historical events involving the West, no Western-led/imposed coups etc.

That is besides including the imperial past and Arab Muslin conquests and some of the largest and most influential empires in history that were created and ruled by people from modern-day KSA (Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, Fatimid Caliphates alone as well as 100's of kingdoms, sultanates, emirates, imamates, sheikdoms etc. across Europe, Africa, Asia, 800 + years of rule over Iberia, much of South Europe etc.).

I am not making any of this up, we have numerous Western authors themselves writing it. As well as the part about lack of complexes and how we view the world and West.

All while simultaneously having the biggest economic ties with China in the entire Muslim world, incredibly strategic military ties too (only Pakistan is at a similar level or eclipsing it due to the India angle), helping directly fund the Pakistani nuclear program (and most likely getting access to nuclear weapons as a result) etc.

If this deal goes through, of course without KSA recognizing Israel (as most of them have done) or entering the Abraham Accords, I look forward to the ZIonist crying as well as the anti-KSA "Muslim" crying.

Both are very angry if you look and have learned nothing from the KSA-China military dealings in the past 40 years, KSA's active and open support for the Pakistani nuclear program, AWACS deal during Reagan, F-15 deal back in the day etc.

Anyway it is important, F-35 or not (F-35 would secure full air control of our vicinity and add a further layer that would repel any silly ideas of invading the largest and richest nation in the region), that we follow throw with indigenous R&D, massive industrial and military investments across the board as well as looking for partnerships, such as GCAP, China etc.

I would personally also introduce 1 year mandatory military service from 18-19 years. Only exemptions should be given to highly talented and gifted (academically) students.

againts who saudi arabia need the jets?
Against everyone that dares to attack the largest and richest country in the region, which could include your likes. Some lunatics among you falsely claim parts of Northern KSA. In fact the largest part of this imaginary "Greater Israel" is composed of KSA territory.

Why does Israel need nukes, F-35 and everything else?

You don't think that a country that is home to Makkah, Madinah, has the largest geography in the region, sits next to some of the most strategic sea and trade routes in the world and is home to this many natural riches (with only a fraction of KSA's land being researched yet in KSA in terms of mineral wealth):

1763238062596.png

trillions of dollars in sovereign wealth funds + tons of gold stored + some of the largest infrastructural projects in the world only rivaled by China and USA.

KSA positioning itself as one of the largest tourism destinations in the world as well.

A good overview of some of the ongoing giga projects in KSA.


The Kingdom’s total number of mega-projects has surged from just 64 in 2010 to 476 by 2025, placing it among the top three countries globally in terms of volume.


The report, titled The Future of Major Programme Delivery, defines mega-projects as those valued at $1 billion or more, while giga-projects are classified as projects worth $10 billion or more.


Saudi Arabia currently shares second place with India for the number of giga-projects, with each country hosting 43 such developments. The United States ranks first globally, with 88 active or completed giga-projects.


Overall, the United States tops the rankings for combined mega and giga-projects with 1,663, followed by India (729), Saudi Arabia (577), and the United Kingdom (484). The United Arab Emirates ranks seventh with 233 projects.​


In terms of tourism:


A quote from the article:

In the first quarter of 2025, Saudi Arabia stood out as the nation with the highest increase in international tourism revenue globally. This growth reflects not only a determined strategy to diversify the economy through large tourism projects, but also an effort to strengthen its presence and alliances on the international stage.​

Record high in international tourism​

According to the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) World Tourism Barometer, published in May 2025, the Saudi kingdom experienced a 102% increase in international tourist arrivals compared to the same period in 2019. This percentage far exceeds the global average of 3% and the regional average of 44% in the Middle East, consolidating Saudi Arabia as a key player in the global tourism sector.
If you leave all that aside, you are right, there is no need to buy top tier weaponry that will ensure your country's and peoples safety and continued prosperity. In particular in our part of the world which often is on fire. I suggest taking a look at the neighborhood of KSA, outside of fellow GCC states. North, West, East and South.

There are recent rumors (1-2 hours old) that claim that Israel is trying to veto the deal and if proceeded make it dependent on KSA recognizing Israel. Let us see, the Arab-obsessed Zionists are obsessed for a reason.

Trump agreed on a deal with KSA out of the Abrahamic accord scheme..Israel can cry rivers..the deal will go through as with the AWACS and F-15 deals in the past when they had a powerful lobby and KSA did not.. now things are to tally different.. Arabs too have some powerful lobbies in Washington..

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Saudi Arabia was being designated as a “major, non-Nato ally”.

“Tonight, I’m pleased to announce that we’re taking our military cooperation to even greater heights by formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-Nato ally, which is something that is very important to them,” Trump said during a formal black-tie dinner at the White House.
