Riyadh: Saudi Arabian Air Force fighter jets have provided security to the American bomber.
According to Saudi media, when the US Air Force B-52 (Strategic) bombers passed through the kingdom’s borders, six F-15SA Typhoons and F-15C fighter jets of the Royal Saudi Air Force intercepted it.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense has confirmed that it will provide security to the American bomber during its passage through its territory.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense said in its statement that this is part of a joint agreement between the two air forces to enhance regional security and stability.
The American B-52 bomber flying through the airspace of the Middle East is carrying nuclear weapons.
The US military said in a statement two days ago that it had flown a pair of nuclear-capable B-52 long-range bombers over the Middle East in a show of force.
