Sounds like the IDF has a security problem.
To be honest, massive theft is widespread in Israel’s military. Every single item down to a clothes and tableware left unattanded gets “liberated” by fellow soldiers. They call it “sper” - a cross word between Russian “spyor” - heist and English “spare”.
I heard once Israel’s military has declared an amnesty for soldiers&former soldiers to give stolen property back and they were barely able to handle all the stuff they got back including expensive communication equipment, vehicle parts and even firearms with ammo. One person turned in a speedboat.
It was common knowledge during WWII equipment would be “liberated” by members of line units for their use from units way behind the lines. That may be the case here.
Arab metal thieves? Terror-related agents? Such pure unadulterated hogwash! So, Arab metal thieves managed to get entire engines from an Israeli military installation?
This is what happened. A corrupt Israeli official sold them to contacts working for the Chinese. Not to 'Arab metal dealers' or 'terrorists.' Chinese.
My support for Israel is absolute. 100% pro Israel. But I am not stupid. There are some areas that are not water tight, and in the past there has been some clear leakage of technology (eg the Lavi fighter prototype that is one of the fathers of the Chinese J-10).
it was I . I am hot rodding a stearman and almost settled for a chevy small block.
Insider help??
Yes: and a lot of it.
Help at the gate, help loading the things,help in knowing where to find them.
Sounds more like Israel was involved in the “theft”
Sold to CHINA, for sure. To be used against OUR very own pilots.
Same with the Lavi; thrown into the laps of our enemies.
Thanks, Israel.
Damn scrappers, looks like Israel has them too.....
F-16 engines disappear, but if one goes down in a bombing raid on Syria or Iran, or both, plausible deniability?
I suggest they check out the Bonneville salt flats in the next week or two.....I think there is a crew trying to set the land speed record for a Winnebago.

What's Hebrew for "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!" ?
I bought it one piece at a time and it didn’t cost me a dime.

Can they sell it or can they only get scrap value from it. My guess is the latter.
