The Israel Air Force is hopeful that a new Pentagon plan to buy 60 F-22 stealth fighter jets will include a push to end a congressional ban on exporting the stealth aircraft, senior defense officials have told The Jerusalem Post. The F-22 can avoid radar...

Ping.
Israel, Great Britain, Australia, and Canada.
If anyone needs them Israel does
I doubt we’d sell them if we didn’t have a way to detect them.
I'll go with that.
Great Britain, Australia, and Canada.
We’ve got other friends but they’ll have to wait a while to prove it can last.
The IAF wants them, but really dosen’t need them as much as they portend. The deal is if they want them they have till Jan 20 to get them.
I have not figured how to post pics but that is one hot looking jet..
Could someone do the honour?
Lockheed Martin ping ...

I thought the F-35 was for export and the F-22 was ours. What was the point of developing the F-35 if we’re going to export the F-22?

I have no problem selling almost any weapons system to Israel.
As to the F-22, rumors are that Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Japan, Australia and a few others, (Poland, Belgium?) have inquired about buying them
