Saudi Arabia still eyeing for V-22 Osprey purchase
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), having been in talks with the United States since October 2014 concerning the purchase of an unknown number of V-22 Ospreys, is currently possibly nearing a deal after a Bell-Boeing team visited Saudi Arabia recently. If a contract is signed soon, the country will be the second export country for the type, following Japan.
In May 2019, it was announced by the Pentagon that US allies could get advantageous pricing under a multi-year procurement contract if they close a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) deal before December 2020. Saudi Arabia is still one of the potential candidates that could make use of this offer, as are the United Kingdom and Israel.
