Yeah Qatar is going to have a training facility for their F-15 pilots to work with American pilots in Idaho (along with Singapore's Air Force facility there in the same base). It is a facility in a US base not a Qatar base.
That said absolutely in my opinion the gifted jet was part of this deal.
Big icky. Do not like. No thank yooouu. Even if it weren't a questionable time in American history, feels like it offers too many opportunities for bad shit to happen.
I say this knowing damn well that's hypocritical as an American, but also knowing damn well that it's why the US does it too.
You want to export weapons all over the world, but are annoyed that the buyers need some place to train their people?
Me? Not particularly. I'm more of a 'wow war as a whole is kinda dumb' type person but 🤷🏽♂️
