My first thought upon seeing this yesterday was: "It's 100% full of cameras and mics probably sending to the Saudis over starlink" let's see how close I was. Haven't read yet.

(My 2nd thought: "Holy shit Saudi Arabia! I bet they deliver it September¡!)

After reading it gets better. The retrofits would take until 2030 at the earliest and cost more than the two new Boeing planes being built to replace airforce one.

Why would the Qataris install surveillance equipment for the Saudis? They are not friends.
