Bahraini military officials are in contact with the Pentagon and the U.S. Department of State to enhance military cooperation.
In this regard, the Pentagon asked U.S. defense companies, including Lockheed Martin, to discuss with Manama the needed equipment to improve its air defense capabilities against cruise missiles and UCAVs.
Bahrain is said to be interested in a specific system made by Lockheed Martin.
Tactical Report highlights this matter, including:
- The system Bahrain is interested in
- Another system Bahrain is still looking to procure
- A European country planning to submit an offer
The report also highlights last week’s meeting between the BDF Commander in Chief Field Marshall Sheikh Khalifa Bin Ahmad Al Khalifa and the U.S. Ambassador to Bahrain Steven Bondy.
