Qatar, the Pentagon and QAF capabilitiesnote

US secretary of Defense Mark Esper is said to have tasked his senior military adviser Lt-General Bryan Fenton with following up on the Qatar Air Force (QAF) file at this stage.

This comes following recent reports suggesting that Qatar has submitted a formal request to the United States to acquire F-35 fighter jets.

Tactical Report has prepared a 190-word report to shed more light on this subject and provide information on the Qatari reaction to Esper's decision.
