| Saudi Arabia Wants 48 F-35s, And Trump Is Considering It. Here’s the Problem |
| 2025-11-17 |
Text: Saudi Arabia is now asking the U.S. to approve a massive purchase of 48 F-35 stealth jets, the most advanced fighter aircraft on earth. But this isn’t a simple arms sale. Not even close. Why? Because Israel is currently the only country in the region with F-35s, and we don’t just fly them. Israel upgrades the aircraft with our own classified tech, making the jet more effective than the original U.S. platform… and we feed those enhancements back into American manufacturers. So here’s the danger: If the U.S. sells F-35s to Saudi Arabia, Riyadh isn’t just getting American technology — they’d inevitably be receiving Israeli technology too. And Saudi Arabia’s close strategic ties with Russia and China mean one thing: 👉 That technology could end up in Moscow or Beijing. This would erode Israel’s qualitative military edge, undermine American technological dominance, and risk the most advanced jet on the planet falling into adversarial hands. This is not a sale of “generic military hardware.” This is about the crown jewel of American airpower, and the backbone of Israel’s deterrence. Any administration considering this deal should think very, very hard. |
