So apparently I was wrong about training F-16s. They're training on the F-15QAs. So need to make that correction. Also - and this is going to blow the minds of every TDS anon here - this agreement was actually started up by Biden in 2022, that was finalized after an EPA assessment (you can't make this shit up) "concluded a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to beddown a US-led Qatar Emiri Air Force squadron of 12 F-15QA aircraft and associated equipment.Furthermore, Hegseth again clarified that the Qatar squadron is renting with a 10 year agreement for training and an option to extend another 10 years at the end. Quote: "The U.S. military has a long-standing partnership w/ Qatar, including today's announced cooperation w/ F-15QA aircraft. However, to be clear, Qatar will not have their own base in the United States - nor anything like a base. We control the existing base, like we do with all partners."tl;dr this is business as usual, with Qatar having similar training agreements in the U.S. as other countries like Germany or Singapore, and you people are sperging out over nothing - again.
