That means 360 million dollars a piece.
That is a lot especially when you think it is a sale to the US’s number one ally. It surely must include a lot of new tech, new Aesa radars, ancillaries and missiles etc. Even then, it is as high a figure as the 23 billion dollar Turkish f16 deal we were all discussing earlier.
Quite interseting news they are geting 50 new F 15 EX Eagle II and upgrading 25 F 15I to F15 EX for 18 billion... currently they have 50 F 15 in various older blocks + 25 F 15I ....i.e 75 F 15s in total so it seems that they are upgrading their whole F 15 fleet to a common conguration i.e F 15 EX and in addition to that they are geting 25 more F 35I with a separate deal soon they will have 75 F 35I + 75 F 15 EX + 50 older F 15 models + 102 F16I and 73 F 16 variants
For some reason Israel loves them unlike other Western countries.
