The United States agrees to sell F-22 to Israel?
Recently, according to Israeli media reports, the US Secretary of Defense Esper said during a visit to Israel that the White House has agreed to sell F-22 fighters to Israel. This is the first F-22 fighter jet that has appeared in the United States. Ci Songguchi expressed willingness to sell. According to sources, in addition to selling F-22 fighters to Israel this time, the United States will also sell a batch of US-made precision-guided bombs to help Israel strengthen its air force so that Israel will always maintain absolute military superiority in the Middle East.
U.S.-Arab cooperation to appease Israel
The U.S. has been protecting the F-22 fighter jets quite well. What makes the U.S. willing to sell to Israel? It is understood that sources previously revealed that the United States plans to sell 50 F-35 fighters worth 10.4 billion U.S. dollars to the UAE. This approach of the United States makes Israel quite dissatisfied. The Israeli president has repeatedly expressed his opposition to the United States selling F-35 fighters to the UAE. However, after the United States agreed to sell F-22 fighters to Israel, Israel no longer had any objections to the arms sales cooperation between the United States and the UAE.
Sixth generation machine is coming soon?
Secondly, there are also speculations that the United States will agree to sell F-22 fighter jets may be because more powerful fighter jets are coming out soon. It has been circulated online before that the US military has completed the first flight of the sixth-generation aircraft verification aircraft, but other relevant information is still in a state of confidentiality, so this may also be one of the reasons why the United States shot the F-22 fighter.
Israel can really get what it wants?
Whatever the reason, Israel seems to have got what it wanted this time. All along, Israel has made no secret of its coveting for the F-22 fighter. Earlier, Israel had repeatedly proposed to the United States that it hoped that the other side could sell F-22 fighters, but they did not get consent. This time the US will agree to it is quite surprising. Z1z
US media: the possibility of sale is very small
However, the US media generally stated that things may not be as simple as imagined. The possibility of the US selling F-22 fighters to Israel is quite small. The production line of the F-22 fighter has long been discontinued, and it is still quite difficult to resume production. And in terms of air supremacy, the U.S. Air Force also needs the F-22 fighter to maintain its superiority. Unless the United States is crazy about money, not many people believe that the United States will really sell F-22 fighters to Israel.
