Israel Orders 20 Fighter Jets; U.S. Picks Up The Tab
Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak approved an order for 20
F-35 Joint Strike Fighters in a deal valued at around $2.75
billion, according to Haaretz. The Israeli Air Force expects
to take delivery of the first aircraft in 2015. The article
quotes Barak saying the F-35 costs $96 million a copy. The
entire deal will be funded by American military aid.
The F-35 deal had dragged for more than two years as the IAF
wanted access to the planes hardware and software; they
also wanted to install Israeli electronic warfare and
configure it to carry Israeli-made missiles. The JSF program
folks said no, that the deal was a closed package.
Although, if the Israelis place a larger order down the
road, the JSF program said more Israeli-sourced components
could be installed. To sweeten terms of the deal, Lockheed
Martin agreed to buy more component parts for the JSF from
Israeli firms; at a price of around $4 billion.
So, the IAF gets a squadron of F-35s, Israeli industry gets
more orders for JSF components, and its all paid for by
American taxpayers; certainly a win-win for the Israelis.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
