Israel Places Order For 20 F-35s; U.S. Picks Up The Tab

poorrichard's blog: Israel Places Order For 20 F-35s; 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.

Gee, I can't figure out why those Muslims hate us!  Hmmm...
