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

[BrannRed]

They're not known to be ricers

 

[UNexplored Territory]

just sayin'

 

[luvvey_00001]

is this the normal raptor or the king raptor in Zero Hour?

 

[Jackson L]

They get 22's we get saucers with plasma weapons.

 

[England_Rules]

what do you mean by everything covered? If a part goes bad, you open the respective panel and change it out, or is it more complicated than that?
I'm curious if it has a system similar to the hornet that spit out maitenence codes that tell you exactly what's wrong w/ the aircraft, all the way down to specific wires on the cannon plug.

 

[Dance<3]

can someone explain to me how the israeli f16 is modified? that looks like the ones i see every day at work

 

[RebelQueen]

yeah, but we still install all that stuff. its not like we send them over there, they rip our shit out and put in their own

 

[shoosh_b]

at people over this

 

[Sheepy.....]

The US sold the F-16 to Israel a couple of years after making it. Who cares? Israel will, just like with the F-16, let us know how it works in combat before we have to.

i don't see a link where it says they're buying F-22's with "aid"

 

[fllady61]

being the JSF, couldn't the Blue Angels end up using the F-35 as well?

 

[Rhianna P]

they get the airframe. BIG WHOOP. They dont get our avionics packages, radar, or weapons platforms.

They get a fake rolex. rolex outsides, seiko insides.

 

[Tyga]

I don't think your "proof" would hold up very well in a courtroom.

[chileanbabe]

looks like annapolis

 

[Japanese]

They get a de-tuned version of it if they go with it at all

 

[coldsw13]

And they're gonna buy it with your tax dollars

Yes because you pretty much have to remove all the panels to do anything since everything is covered. You can pop the engines out pretty easily though so everything is accessible its just a bitch to remove everything and put it back on.

The composites structures also make it a bitch to fix since you cant simply apply new sheetmetal.
