Sadat Expected to Ask $5 Billion to $7 Billion in Arms Aid
President Sadat arrives in Washington amid plans to seek a ten year arms program totaling five to seven billion dollars. Egypt aims for early warning radar and fighter support for its Soviet aircraft, with F 16s prioritized and at least some defense equipment from the United States and Western Europe. The objective is to reduce Soviet military dependence and strengthen regional influence against Israel, while balancing air power with future US and Allied systems.
