The Czech government has approved a plan to buy 24 F-35 stealth fighters from the United States in a deal worth $6.5 billion.
The purchase is the largest defense contract ever signed by the Czech Republic and is seen as a significant boost to the country's military capabilities.
The F-35 is a fifth-generation fighter jet that is considered to be one of the most advanced aircraft in the world.
The aircraft is capable of carrying out a wide range of missions, including air superiority, ground attack, and intelligence gathering.
