面對來自伊朗及葉門胡塞組織頻繁的飛彈與無人機襲擊,沙烏地阿拉伯可說是忙於應付,也將其國內軍備消耗許多,美國政府本週宣布放行兩筆對沙烏地阿拉伯的重大軍售案,總價值超過57.5億美元(約合新台幣1,840億元)。這兩項採購計畫分別鎖定沙國陸軍與空軍的核心裝備,旨在全面翻新其現役戰車的機動力,並大幅補充精準空對地打擊彈藥。

美國國防部表示,這波軍售不僅能幫助沙烏地應對中東當前的區域威脅,更是美國落實以軍售案強化沙國整體防禦能力的重要關鍵。

陸軍防衛方面,美國同意出售價值7.5億美元(約合新台幣240億元)的AGT-1500燃氣渦輪引擎,數量共計60具。這款引擎是沙烏地陸軍主力「艾布蘭戰車」的動力心臟,能提供高達1500匹馬力的強大機動性。由於沙國過去在衝突中耗損不少地面裝備,這批新引擎將直接用於戰車的維修、翻新與後勤備料,讓沙國的裝甲部隊能隨時保持最佳戰備狀態。

除了地面裝備,空軍的火力補給更是本次軍售的重頭戲。美國國務院宣布放行一筆高達50億美元(約合新台幣1,600億元)的精準武器採購案。這筆由波音公司主導的訂單,包含10,004套「聯合直接攻擊彈藥-延程型」(JDAM-ER)精準導引套件,以及同等數量的500磅與2000磅通用炸彈。這批裝備能將傳統炸彈升級為智慧飛彈,讓沙國空軍具備極強的遠程精準打擊能力。

面對來自伊朗及葉門胡塞組織頻繁的飛彈與無人機襲擊,沙烏地阿拉伯的國防壓力面臨嚴峻挑戰。這次採購的JDAM-ER導引炸彈具備延伸射程功能,能讓沙國戰機在距離目標約72公里外的安全空域投彈。這種「遠距離精準擊殺」的特性,不僅能有效摧毀敵方威脅,更能保護沙國飛行員與戰機免於暴露在敵方防空火網中,是當前性價比極高的防衛投資。

整體而言,這兩筆總計57.5億美元(約合新台幣1,840億元)的軍售案,凸顯了美沙兩國在安全合作上的緊密關係。美國透過提供頂尖的戰車動力後勤與萬枚精準導引炸彈,在不改變區域軍事平衡的前提下,實質提升了沙烏地阿拉伯的國土防禦與嚇阻能力。面對變局不斷的中東情勢,這批美製先進武器的加入,無疑為沙國的國家安全注入了一劑強心針。

In order to track down the leak of secrets, the US military conducted polygraph tests on about 50 people in the Joint Chiefs of Staff in August.
