Ping.

[cripplecreek]

Israel, Great Britain, Australia, and Canada.

If anyone needs them Israel does

[null and void]

I doubt we’d sell them if we didn’t have a way to detect them.

[Born to Conserve]

Great Britain, Australia, and Canada.

[ChetNavVet]

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.

[GSP.FAN]

I have not figured how to post pics but that is one hot looking jet..

Could someone do the honour?

[dartuser]

If the F-22 is made available, we will bring it here as soon as possible, no matter what the price is

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? Last I knew, Britain was mad about us not allowing them access to proprietary computer codes or some such thing. I say the F-22 is ours and the F-35 is for our allies.

[Larry381]

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

[Marine_Uncle]

"Israel, Great Britain, Australia, and Canada."
And that is it. No one else. Period.

[oldbill]

Somehow American technology sold to Israel ends up in Israeli products sold to China.

The F-22 should stay at home. The only possible exceptions are the only two nations we can trust, Britain and Australia.

[ksm1]

It’s a good idea. We’re going to need our allies to watch our back when Obama’s in charge.

[OCC]

Isreal has been a little loose with sharing our technology in the past. They may have to wait a little while before we share the F-22.

[Carry_Okie]

Not after Israel sold Patriot missile technology to the Chinese.

Fool me once...

[gaijin]

why don’t we just sell them to CHINA also? same thing, right? Let’s get paid!

[MNSlim]

I’m skeptical that any air force would be eager at this juncture to take on the daunting operational challenges attendant to operating an F-22 squadron. The JSF is the platform of the future.

[SunkenCiv]

"If the F-22 is made available, we will bring it here as soon as possible, no matter what the price is," a top IAF officer said last week.

The Fairness Doctrine will be expanded, so that, to make things fair, all of Israel's not-too-neighborly neighbors, including Hamas and the Hizzies, also get F-22s.

I hate to say this, but I'm not 100% sure that I agree with the US exporting the F22 to Israel. While I'm a supporter of Israel, I'm an American first, and given the upcoming administration, I've got a feeling that we're going to see a hard shift in support or Israel's enemies. That just might make Israel "feel the need" for more friends, and that could lead to the transfer of technology to those countries who are NOT friendly to the US.
