By strengthening military cooperation with countries such as Croatia, it further consolidates its influence in the European region.

Regarding this arms sale transaction, the Croatian side said that the new military equipment will help improve the modernization level of the country's military and better deal with various security challenges. At the same time, Croatia also emphasized that it will use these equipment reasonably and maintain regional peace and stability.

The international community will continue to pay attention to the follow-up progress of this arms sale transaction and its impact on regional security and international relations. In addition, the US arms sales policy and behavior have always been one of the focuses of attention of the international community.
