Qatar refused to buy American fighters and struck a deal with a British aircraft manufacturer.

According to information obtained from the information and news portal Avia.pro, the Qatari authorities initially considered the possibility of acquiring a batch of American F-22 and F-35 fighters, however, after Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by his decision, it was decided to abandon the purchase of American aircraft, in view of which a deal was concluded with the British company BAE Systems.

It is reported that by 2022, British aircraft manufacturers will supply Qatar with 24 Eurofighter Typhoon combat fighters, while the total amount of the transaction will be about $ 8 billion.
