Business Insider: Saudi Arabia wants to buy its way into a major 6th-gen fighter jet project, but not all its potential partners are welcoming 

* The UK, Italy, and Japan are working together to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet. 

* Saudi Arabia reportedly wants to join the effort, but Japan is said to be wary of letting Riyadh in. 

* The UK-Italy-Japan program is one of several launched in recent years to build next-gen jets. 

Saudi Arabia wants to joint the UK, Japan, and Italy as a partner in the Global Combat Air Program, which aims to build the six-generation Tempest stealth fighter jet and other advanced technologies by 2035. 

While funding from the Arab kingdom could ease the financial burden on the consortium, other considerations have made Tokyo reluctant to assent to Riyadh's admission. 

As first reported by The Financial Times, the Saudis hope to win admission into the GCAP in return for "a potentially significant financial contribution."

Will Saudi Arabia succeed? Do not know.

Look what they are not doing.

- They are not looking to go to the US with hat in hand to buy American product
- They are not asking the Americans permission

Under Reagan, Bush Sr, Bush Jr and Trump I expect decent or good relations may not great but good relation with Saudi Arabia.

What do we have under Obama and Biden?

MBS tortured his cousins, but I bet he felt the need to wash his hand after the fist bump with Biden.

This is another sign of poor US / Saudi relations, or an alliance going down the tubes


It was a given, as a matter of fact, like the Sun rising in the morning, that the Saudi would always, always, buy US weapons

Now they are not?

on a much larger and important issue, this does not bode well for the petrol dollar.

#2631 It is loathsome to eat the meat of horse and mule and donkey and if somebody makes coitus with them, that is an intercourse, they become unlawful and they must be taken out of the city and sold elsewhere.

#2632 If they have intercourse with a cow and sheep and camel their urine and dung becomes unclean and drinking their milk will also be unlawful and they must be killed and burned without delay, and the person who had intercourse with them must pay money to the owner. Further, if he had intercourse with any beast its milk becomes unlawful.
