    ❗️US intelligence warns Saudi F-35 deal could expose sensitive technology to China

    US intelligence officials have warned that a proposed $24 billion sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia could potentially expose sensitive aircraft technology to Chinese espionage, The New York Times reported, citing US officials familiar with internal assessments.

    According to the report, intelligence analysts are concerned that China could gain access to F-35 technology through espionage in Saudi Arabia or via Riyadh’s expanding military and security ties with Beijing. A recent Defense Intelligence Agency assessment examined Chinese military access to Saudi bases and the kingdom’s use of Chinese telecommunications equipment, while also questioning whether US and Saudi authorities could adequately secure facilities housing sensitive F-35 systems.

      Imagine being so stupid to think that saudi was ever going to get the jets. No wonder americans are losing on all fronts if their intelligence officials cant spot an obvious grift like this. Like I get it “trump bad” but trump scamming saudis of 24 billion is good for all of the american ruling class not just trump.
