In addition to acquiring 84 new F-15SAs, the Royal Saudi Air Force will upgrade all 70 of its existing F-15S fleet of 70 aircraft, one of which is seen here at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, in February 2008, during a Red Flag exercise. USAF/Chief Master Sgt Gary EmeryWHITE HOUSE spokesman Joshua Earnest announced in a statement on December 29 that the US State Department has finalised a $29.432 billion deal under which Saudi Arabia will purchase 84 new Boeing F-15SA (Saudi Advanced) Strike Eagles. The government-to-government agreement under the Foreign Military Sales programme will also include upgrade to a similar F-15SA standard of the Royal Saudi Air Force's (RSAF's) 70 existing F-15S Strike Eagles.

Also included will be munitions, spare parts, training, maintenance and logistics. The official statement went on to say that: "This agreement will positively impact the US economy and further advances the president’s commitment to create jobs by increasing exports. According to industry experts, this agreement will support more than 50,000 American jobs, engaging 600 suppliers in 44 states, and providing $3.5 billion in annual economic impact to the US economy. This agreement reinforces the strong and enduring relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, and demonstrates the US commitment to a strong Saudi defense capability as a key component to regional security."

Details of the deal had first been revealed on October 20, 2010, when it was formally notified to Congress by the US Defense Security Co-operation Agency. At that time, it was noted that there would be provision for the first 12 F-15SAs to be based in the continental USA for pilot training.

La chulada de tener una fuerza aerea con presupuesto ilimitado, tener a los gringos comprados y un país donde no hay más voluntad que la del Rey.
