This episode of the Middle East Defense Digest features an in‑depth look by Breaking Defense Middle East Bureau Chief Agnes Helou at a prospective $4.5 billion deal for four KC‑46A aerial refueling aircraft destined for Qatar, a projected increase in Turkish Hürjet exports, and the establishment of a new multinational, multi‑domain drone task force by the U.S. military, dubbed Falcon Strike.
Helou then invites Breaking Defense contributing editor Riad Kahwaji to share regional perspective on the newly announced trilateral defense pact linking Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan.
