The Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a
statement posted last week it notified Congress of the sale May 24.
It says the proposed deal would include a range of
classified and unclassified equipment, munitions, spare parts as well as
training and ground support. It calls the UAE “an important force for peace,
political stability, and economic progress in the Middle East.” The UAE in
March deployed six of its F-16s to help enforce the NATO-led no-fly zone over
Libya. One of those planes crashed on landing at an air base in southern Italy
last month.
