This week Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told government ministers that he may wait for the next US president before signing a new military assistance deal with America. Israel’s current military assistance package is set to expire in 2018 and the new package is supposed to include supplemental aid to compensate Israel for President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. But to date, the administration has rejected Israel’s requests for additional systems it could use to defend against Iran attacks.
Last October, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon asked US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to provide Israel with a new squadron of F-15s that Israel would outfit with its own electronics systems. Carter reportedly rejected that request as well as one for bunker buster bombs.
Carter instead insisted that Israel use the supplemental aid to purchase more F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, US-made missile defense systems, and the Osprey V-22 helicopter, which Ya’alon didn’t want.

ReplyDeletewE ARE dOOmed
Couldn't make this crap up.
DeleteNo doubt some Congressional asshat insisted that the F-35 be loaded up with systems beyond the original design scope. Just like was done to both the F-16 and F-15. Slowed them down, reduced their speed and maneuverability. Primary reasons the Israelis strip them down and put their own systems in them. The internet thing is just obscene. Drawing and quartering would be to good for what ever idiot put that system in the software.
