The Sauds and Sisi and Abdullah should learn from the Israelis who have made truly awesome machines out of their already awesome F-15s.
Turkey helped finance the F-35. They are not mentioned in the article. They will get some of the first. Evidence suggests they’ll sell access to Iran.
Turkey is a member of NATO, but it stopped being an ally some time ago. It is now an enemy we refuse to recognize as such.
not for sale to our muslim enemies? that’s when you know it’s got serious problems
meanwhile, the f-22 was given to china... which they’ve since modified and are mass producing.
Of course, the Saudisl find something reasonably comparable.....elseware
Obama's spit in the sky...
“President Obama’s Camp David summit with the Gulf Arab states on Thursday will seek to boost arms sales to the Gulf neighbors but the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has been taken off their wish list.”
In other words, the muzzies are getting F35’s. They won’t be “sold” to them.
Just what “is” is?
White House Says F-35s Not For Sale to Gulf Arab States...
But the blue prints are for a small donation...Saz Hillary Clinton.
Let ‘em have the ‘35 - we could make enough from maintenance and downtime repairs to wipe out the deficit.
No, but we'll give 'em some when we think nobody's lookin'!
