I’m having a hard time believing Israel would actually sign a deal for F-35’s from the U.S. when they can get exponentially better fighter aircraft from the U.K. or even India. I’m going to watch for a response from the Israeli government on this, to the tune of “Do what?”

Considering most of the money Israel receives from the USA is predicated on them buying our weaponry, buying from another country would be real bad form...

Only Obama would do something like that...

UK is partnering with the US on the F-35 — they have no fifth generation fighter in the works.

India is developing theirs in a side-by-side development project with Russia and is five years behind the US and their allies for deployment.
