“This contract provides for the design, integration, instrumentation, test, production, and delivery of 25 new F-15IA aircraft for the Israeli Air Force with an option for an additional 25 F-15IA aircraft,” the Pentagon said.
50 F-15s to speed up the genocide of Palestinians?
First, the US gives billions to Israel in aid, then they spend it on US military equipment. Why not just buy the jets directly and hand them over?
The defense companies make way more money if the government gives them taxpayer money and tax breaks, then give taxpayer money to allies to buy weapons that were already paid for by taxpayer dollars. They are, at a minimum, triple dippin’.
Amazing, this capitalism thing :)
