As far as I remember, Qatar is a rogue country for the Western world. Recently! Or where there is no money principles?
Paris, the Yankees are scolding!

Qatar is one of the leading countries in terms of GDP per capita. With a 50 degree heat, besides dates, little grows there. Therefore, it depends on 90% of food supplies. But there are clearly not enough 12 “rafals” per king. But where to fly them on a small peninsula?

[just exp]

this is not 12 rafals, this is ANOTHER 12 rafals. since 24 pieces were previously ordered and this is still a trifle. since there have recently been signed contracts for the supply of 36 and 72 F-15.
it’s not sickly, then more than a hundred F-15s alone. and this is a country with an area of ​​11 km², that is, if you take it as a square, then the whole of Qatar is 586 by 100 km. and besides f-115 and rafals there are also mirages there.
in the course of the number of modern aircraft per square kilometer, Qatar is the record holder on the entire planet.

For the fact that Russia has shared its oil with Qatar, Qatar will buy NATO aircraft. Tell us again about the patriotic position of the Kremlin leadership.

and for the fact that the mattresses shared their democracy with the Saudis, the Saudis will buy Russian air defense systems. tell us again that the trump is not ours.
how many times to write that everyone, and especially the key Arabs, all arms purchases are political bribes.
Qatar is trying to buy support in the EU. just like the Saudis are trying to leave a small path to reconciliation with Russia.
