I also don't see why we have to pay for it.
Especially with gold-plated solutions.
Hey, you never know, Israel might be the only nation to use the jet to its JORD-requirement.
Weak threats, interdiction, a motor tuned for loiter at medium altitude groups. That is if it works.
Chew on this group-think...
Carter said, "For Israel, the current regional situation presents daily threats to the state, its economy, and its democracy. As we have since its founding, the United States stands with Israel, and we always will."
One of the main topics of discussion during Ya'alon's trip to Washington was the "compensation package" of military aid the U.S. is set to offer Israel in the wake of the Iran nuclear deal. According to Ya'alon, the purpose of the package is to "strengthen the power and capabilities of the IDF in a way that will enable it to maintain its significant qualitative advantage, in light of the security threats Israel faces."
The details of the package remain unknown, but, according to diplomatic sources, the main components include the provision of anti-missile equipment and munitions, greater cooperation on aerial defense projects (namely, Iron Dome and David's Sling) and a bolstered supply of aircraft to the Israeli Air Force, including the V-22 Osprey and the F-35 joint strike fighter.
Israel has already ordered 33 F-35s. The IAF is already set to receive its first F-35 next year, which will make Israel the only country in the Middle East to have the fifth-generation multirole stealth fighter.
The package will also likely include an increase in annual U.S. military financial aid to Israel, which currently stands around $3 billion.
Here is what Israel was told in 2007 about the Just So Failed.
