Report: Israeli F-15 Systems Supplied to Qatar and Saudi Arabia

A report Sunday said Israeli defense firms supplied helmet-mounted cueing systems, night-vision gear and other components for US-led F-15 programs in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, countries without formal ties to Israel. Public US sale records for Qatar list Elbit Systems among additional contractors for F-15QA aircraft, while the Saudi package included Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems and AN/AVS-9 night-vision equipment used with F-15SA jets. The deliveries were routed through American prime contractors rather than direct bilateral sales. The report highlights the reach of Israeli defense technology across the region and the quiet security logic that can align Gulf states with Israeli capabilities against Iran-backed threats.
