Foreign Military Sales

Some old history.

F-22 FMS for a trusted Middle-East ally.

Guess which one.

The use of the word "coalition" in this image is suspect. Replace that with 'joint operations'...inside the Israeli Air Force. Where, the F-22 clears away any big threats and legacy aircraft can run-riot.



Turning toward Israel, Clinton pledged continued strong U.S. military and diplomatic support, including offering Israel first option at purchasing the new U.S. advanced fighter jet, the F-22.

"I have expanded our special strategic relationship and helped protect and enhance your security," Clinton wrote. "As part of that continuing effort, I am recommending that when our most advanced fighter aircraft, the F-22, becomes available for sale, Israel, if it so chooses, will be among the first, if not the first, foreign customer."

Looks like after Clinton left, Israel (except for the money of course) got short-changed.
