Calling it a “momentous” occasion, US General Greg Guillot, commander of 9th Air Force, lauded the unveiling of the first batch of new F-15QA fighter jets with advanced next-gen systems for the Gulf State of Qatar, Al Jazeera reported.

Produced by the United States and Boeing, the rollout took place on Wednesday in a ceremony at Boeing’s headquarters in the US state of Missouri, with the Qatari Minister of State for Defense Affairs Khalid bin Mohamed Al Attiyah in attendance.
