The Czech Republic has taken a significant step in strengthening its military capabilities by signing an agreement with the United States to acquire 24 F-35 fighter jets. Valued at around 150 billion Czech koruna ($6.6 billion), this deal marks the largest single purchase for the Czech military.
On Monday, Czech Defense Minister Jana Cernochová and U.S. Ambassador Bijan Sabet signed a memorandum of understanding for the deal. With the signing of a letter of offer and acceptance, the two governments have completed the necessary steps to finalize the contract, as confirmed by the Czech Defense Ministry.
