No offense taken, It is easy to overlook others who many not be there in large numbers or from more distant places, but still play part part like many others

So, the IAF gets a squadron of F-35s, Israeli industry gets more orders for JSF components, and its all paid for by American taxpayers; certainly a win-win for the Israelis.

Don't forget Egypt also gets about $1.3 Billion of FREE U.S. military aid every year, a little bonus Israel and Egypt receive for having signed a peace treaty in 1979.

It looks like Australia is getting a better deal than Israel, but I guess we are buying them with our own money!

I wonder how mutch would Israel earn by selling some military technology on free market instead of sharing it with US.
