America's military crown jewel, the F-22A Raptor, will now be given to Israel. *link*

Don't you have a roadside bomb to plant or a market crowded with infidels to drop a backpack bomb in?

Puerto Rico is the unofficial 51st state dipshit. Then you have Canada, U.K, U.S. Virgin Islands, etc. At best, Israell is around 55 or so on the list.
 
what?

we sold israel de-fanged F-16's, the F-14's we sold iran the same.

they get a great airframe, and its engines. Its AGAINST THE LAW for us to sell the avionics and radar packages as they are treated as government secrets.

thats a FACT.

why the stupid face?
 
Yeah, F-22 gets special LO paint. On top of a bunch of other LO coatings. I think theres actually a half inch of coatings and crap on the edges
 
Why would they be sold at a discount to Isreal (or anyone)? If anything, I'd think that they would be sold for more to help recoup more of the R & D costs. It's only fair that the US get them for a better price since they are the biggest clients
 
That's what we were talking about, the 'lumps' on the side are removable conformal tanks, which can be put on earlier models but aren't common.
