In a major move to bolster its defense capabilities, Qatar has secured a massive $1.96 billion arms deal with the United States, marking one of the most significant drone and weapons packages in the region's recent history. The deal includes eight cutting-edge MQ-9B SkyGuardian unmanned aerial vehicles, over 700 precision-guided bombs, Hellfire missiles, and state-of-the-art surveillance systems. With key contractors like General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, and RTX involved, this agreement is set to reshape the military balance in the Gulf. U.S. officials call it a critical step toward strengthening regional security and counterterrorism operations.
