Although, if the Israelis place a larger order down the road, the JSF program said more Israeli-sourced components could be installed. To sweeten terms of the deal, Lockheed Martin agreed to buy more component parts for the JSF from Israeli firms; at a price of around $4 billion.

Okay. That's terribly exciting. It doesn't have anything to do with the deal, but it is filling me with joy. Keep us posted.
