Lebanon's army receives 8 Bradley fighting vehicles from U.S.

BEIRUT, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- The Lebanese army received on Sunday the fourth batch of eight Bradley fighting vehicles from the United States, local media reported.

"The Lebanese army received eight Bradley vehicles within the framework of the U.S. military assistance program for Lebanon," according to Lebanon Files, a Lebanese news website.

On June 13, the United States delivered four A-29 Super Tucano aircrafts to the Lebanese army. The four aircrafts were the remaining of the six the U.S. had delivered in its latest military aid package to Lebanon. The first two were delivered in October 2017.

Over the last decade, the United States has invested more than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars in training and equipping over 32,000 Lebanese troops.
