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

Extra fuel tanks.

Indirect ftl. j/k

I'm on F-22.

 

[Heidi Lamoureux]

JSF is so lucky, it gets all this new technology instead of crap from the 80s and 90s.

 

[hechicera_de_la_alma]

I wonder what the Air Force Thunderbirds are going to go to next... the F-22 or F-35.

 

[Adelwolf]

yep they do... cause we dont give them our real good stuff.... same reason they kick our ass in wargames, we turn all our real good shit off so no-one knows what our acual capability is

 

[$dollars$]

money laundering FTW

 

[nbriebrie]

Whoa, noice.

 

[s a m a n t h a]

that helmet looks like some starship troopers shit

 

[Adriana S]

[No message]

 

[Blake Silva]

same shit we did in WWII before we got involved

 

[The Inc]

You can expect that something is being developed or already completed that will blow the F-22 away. Hell, the stealth bomber was developed in the late 60's, early 70's. Imagine what is getting developed now... actually, we probably can't imagine it.

 

[Green Yogurt taste funny]

Didn't one F-22 take out 5 F-15's during training? I remember one of the F-15 pilots claiming that he was actaully scared and demoralized

 

[Princess Cyria~]

dude, they come like that from lockheed.

 

[Kenzie Babie]

We sell plenty of weapons to the arab states. They are much more likely to bite our hand.

 

[vishka vishkoski]

i can't help but think the women in your AV had a very large picnic on that flag before standing on it.

 

[Kunmui]

this is incredible


proof that ISRAEL HAS AMERICA BY THE BALLS!

 

[iPodlover]

conformal tanks, better engine, better avionics, all kinds of other upgrades I have no idea about.

 

[Badboy6]

yeah, the pilot can look down and see through the plane

 

[...::: Tzapu14 :::...]

F-16I
Block 50/52 Plus for Israeli Defense Force - Air Force, with significant Israeli avionics replacing that of American firms (Such as Israeli Aerial Towed Decoy replacing the ALE-50). The addition of Israeli built autonomous aerial combat maneuvering instrumentation systems enables the training exercises to be conducted without the dependence on the ground instrumentation systems, and the helmet mounted sight is also a standard equipment.

The F-16I also has the Israeli built removable conformal fuel tanks added.
