Trump administration approves sale of F-22 fighter jets to Israel - foreign press

In the foreign press, including the Greek and the Middle East, it is reported that the administration of the US President Donald Trump has approved the decision to sell the 5th generation F-22 fighters to Israel.

Recall that previously these US combat aircraft were not sold to foreign countries.

The Israeli edition of The Times of Israel, citing sources in the United States, as well as the media in Saudi Arabia, writes that US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper announced the approval of the sale of these "stealth fighters" to Israel.

From the material:

Israel previously expressed interest in buying not only the F-35, but the F-22, but the United States refused. The United States ceased production of the fighter in 2011, and legally prohibited its sale to foreign countries. However, in discussing the possibilities of strengthening security in the Middle East and confronting Iran, the Trump administration approved the possible sale of the F-22 to the Israeli Air Force.

The correspondent of AFP news agency writes about this. With reference to an unnamed source in the news agency, material is released, which refers to the negotiations between the heads of the US and Israeli military departments Mark Esper and Benny Gantz. The article reports on "the achievement of significant progress in improving the quality of military superiority, including in the air, Israel in the region."

Earlier, Israeli official sources did not publish messages about Israel's request to the United States to sell F-22 fighters. At the moment, the Israeli government has not provided any messages about the possible purchase of the F-22.

We will remind that earlier Israel purchased from the United States several batches of fifth-generation F-35 fighters. These fighters, according to some reports, have already been used by the Israeli Air Force in striking targets in neighboring Syria.

Iran is scary to attack.
Until something from the States goes to Israel, a lot of things can come to Iran from Russia and China.
And when Trump loses the election, everyone will unanimously restore the "Comprehensive Agreement" developed by Obama and lift the sanctions on Iran. The EU has colossal interests there. Especially against the background of the fact that it is necessary to pull somewhere production from China.
Yes, and Kedmi recently announced that from the point of view of the Israeli leadership, the main enemy has changed.
After the statement "Jerusalem is our city" now Erdogan is the main enemy.

[Charik]

While something from the States will go to Israel, you can use the fact that already in a huge, unknown quantity on the BV, in my opinion there is more than enough in that region to break Iran + Australia next to + AfriCom + Europe-Iran will not even have time to utter a peep, if it is serious will deal with

[URAL72]

Not only to Iran. After Egypt's purchase of the Su-35, Israel is unlikely to rely on the F-35. A contract with Algeria looms ahead. And the Russians do not fly in Syria on the MiG-21.

But I'm not sure if that's true.

[Fungus]

As always, they will bomb Syria out of sly. I would have knocked down a couple so as not to be impudent.

[NTD]

Russian air defense systems in Syria will definitely not shoot down Jewish equipment. Not that they cannot, no, but they will not KNOCK down. It feels like when Jews fly, call the base in Syria and say turn off the pliz for a couple of hours.

And so that Syria is bombed and f35 and f16 and f15 will go. And here is the Raptor. Looks like a long flight will be with refueling in the air.

F-16 will be sold to those who wish, and they will be replaced by F-35
The F-15 will presumably be replaced with the latest Boeing F-15IA (IA stands for "Israel Advanced"), where all the stuffing will be from Israeli manufacturers F-15IA can also carry more ammunition and, according to sources, will also be able to intercept cruise missiles that can target Israel.

Good afternoon!
You are correct in your reasoning. Croatia was forbidden to sell, and even in the current situation it is unlikely to be allowed to sell to Azerbaijan, perhaps when it calms down in a calm atmosphere and without advertising. In general, 40 F-16 aircraft are ready for sale.

For full-fledged domination in the Middle East in modern realities, the Israelis need not 20, but at least 200 pieces of F-22, but better 5 times more. But the United States does not have so many planes, and Israel does not have so many pilots, airfields, and missiles.

[voyaka uh]

The conversation about the F-22 was going on when the F-35 had not yet begun mass production.
Now the F-35 has been tested, it is being used, and we are satisfied with it.
And the F-22, although high-speed stealth, but with the electronics of the previous generation.

[kot423]

For God's sake Only you are not for me, but prove to Bene Gantz, I am purple

I think it's a matter of the amount of combat load. The f-22 has an order of magnitude higher than the 35th ...

[voyaka uh]

The difference is in speed.
F-22 - a fighter for gaining air superiority. And the interceptor.
Can fight alone
with any fighter.
F-35 - fighter-bomber.
Can air combat in a group, taking advantage of network communication.

GBU-57 can be dropped from "Hercules" with a special platform for this.

And as in the old joke, "dad could, but the bull is better"

It is clear what the deal between Israel and the UAE was based on, why the Jews remained silent on the purchase of the F-35 by Saudi Arabia. The USA simply sold them a more advanced version, and not this ersatz

The F-22 is still one of the most expensive aircraft. It's time to recoup it, otherwise a few more years - and analogues will appear in marketable quantities, and then you won't sell it at a high price.

[FRoman1984]

Duck. The conveyor has been disassembled and redesigned for the F-35. Physically they will not be able to build them and the Congress should give the go-ahead.

[Revolver]

I wonder if this is out of stock, or will Lockheed restart production? And if new, then with the same electronics of the last century, or with an upgrade?
In general, this is good news for Israel. And there is no need to compare with the F-35, they have different niches. The F-35 is more striking, while the F-22 is an air superiority vehicle.

[Danila46]

Israel in general is changing all avionics in aircraft to domestic. And in the 35th they even got access to his software ...

[rotmistr60]

strengthening security in the Middle East and confrontation with Iran

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Why not sell. But about "strengthening security in the Middle East" is a controversial statement.

[Operator]

"Sale" of F-22 from stock - in exchange for previously "sold" F-35. But "Raptors" will not last long, since their production has long been liquidated.

And how the "Chosen of God" burned when they were told about the complete crap of the "Penguins"

[Avior]

There can be no question of supplying new ones, production has been stopped, and it is nonsense to re-create it for the sake of 20 pieces. A separate topic is the overwhelmingly high price of F-22 and before that, with the production of only 20 units, it will skyrocket.
We can only talk about the transfer from the existing ones, which is hard to believe, there are not so many of them in the United States.
So most likely this is just a duck, possibly an election one.

[Pete mitchell]

Quote: Avior

So most likely this is just a duck, possibly an election one.

There is no other way - a curtsey to the Jewish lobby. Even if the production equipment was retained, 20 aircraft will cost as spacecraft. They cannot sell theirs. Too many buts and too much money. Definitely someone's joke

[Alex_You]

It looks like some fairy tales, the last F-22 was rolled out in 2012, I doubt that production can be resumed. Unless to sell from those already produced.

[askort154]

Alex_You ..... It looks like a fairy tale, the last F-22 was rolled out in 2012, I doubt that production can be resumed. Unless to sell from those already produced.

From time to time, you need to put things in order in the garage. In the USA, hundreds of billions of "scrap metal" have accumulated in the confrontation with the USSR. Conservation and disposal requires huge resources. The US Congress adopted a special resolution - to allow the Pentagon to sell unused, surplus, or obsolete military products to countries allied to the United States. Moreover, in a purely American way, they give loans or "free aid" for this. So to Israel they
most recently allocated 38 billion dl. for 10 years, specifically for defense. Now, some of these funds will return to the United States for the sale of the F-22 to them. Nothing new - circuit
of American business on planet Earth.

Since the "Greek media", then yes ... So far from the unofficial from Hebrew: after the "frank" negotiations of the Israeli Defense Ministry Benny Gantz in the United States, his Amer. a colleague immediately flew to Israel. The list of top-priority purchases in the United States was formulated by Israel's permanent procurement mission in Washington, "reinforced" by the general director of the Ministry of Defense, the former commander of Izr. Air Force Amir Eshel, (there may be a lot of things, including those already known from the sound plans for procurement and modernization ...) but this is not the main thing ... Full Israel access (online) to satellite. global attack warning system - SBIRS, joint integration in the development of 6th generation aviation, continuation and financing of work under the Hez-4 program (after completion of the conceptual phase), participation of the Israeli military-industrial complex in the Amer. the UAV SKYBORG program, financing by the states of Israeli developments, incl. high energy lasers, etc. etc. As for hypotheses. squadron F-22, then at the beginning of the year the F22 fleet consisted of 165 operating and 20 more for training and modernization. Due to complaints about the low SDK, when 30-50 aircraft are available at once (in case of emergency, more ...), it was decided to convert trainer aircraft into combat aircraft, and this was produced in June last year. If (and when) the planes are delivered to Israel, they will be live planes from the existing SDK.

[Constanty]

How would it look technically? After all, the Raptor's production line has long been closed, so at stake will be the aircraft used by the US Air Force, which are also quite complex.

[Oleg Olkha]

About a hundred F-22s of the US Air Force cannot be used immediately and take off on orders without more or less technical training and repairs. The supply optimists believe that the squadron of the modified -F22I will always be in "Israeli" combat readiness and this is good for the United States, but who has it, it doesn't matter. So far, such fantasies ...

[Charik]

Who told - that the line is closed - Trump or the heads of the Lockheads - Boeing

[Constanty]

The Raptorów production line was closed shortly after the end of production in 2011, when the program was finally discontinued and its “conservation” was deemed too costly at around $ 200 million a year.

There have been several attempts to return to production of the F-22, the last of which was in 2016, but in a report to the United States Congress, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson indicated that the idea would be too expensive.
Rebuilding the assembly line for 194 F-22s will cost 50 billion dollars a fifth of which will go to indirect costs. In case of resumption of production, the price of the fighter (in 2016!) Will be from 206 to 216 million dollars per copy.

Oleg, do not pump it, otherwise many may have a heart attack). The sale of American nuclear submarines in general, even in the yellow press, was not discussed, especially in the Israeli one. As for the sale, this is all from the words of the Arabic-language London newspaper Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, to which all the messages refer. Also, there are two things to keep in mind. First, Congress passed a law prohibiting the export of this fighter to foreign customers. To export it, you need to change legislation. Second, the US Department of Defense has ordered manufacturers to destroy and dispose of all of the aircraft's production lines, which cost about $ 250 million. Upgrading production costs billions of dollars.

A source close to buying fighters from Israel told the Israeli Defense Ministry that “it doesn't seem practical. To deliver the F-22s to Israel, it will be necessary to disassemble the US Air Force squadron, since the Raptor has not been produced for several years. This is for example reported at https://www.israeldefense.co.il/he/node/46208 in Hebrew. Although, I have looked at a lot of Israeli sites. Everywhere there is a reference to the same source, with the addition of only the fact that there will be deliveries of smart bombs, including a 12 ton, which they are even going to hang on the F-22.

First, Congress passed a law prohibiting the export of this fighter to foreign customers.

With regard to arms sales as part of its military assistance to Israel, Congress is acting in accordance with a law designed to enhance Israel's military advantage and protect it from perceived Iranian hostility.
Two bipartisan MPs introduced a bill to Congress this week that would require the US Department of Defense to consider selling bombs to Israel to destroy bunkers capable of penetrating heavily fortified underground facilities. There is no such information about the F-22, but there is from various sources that Trump signed before the elections, but this did not reach Congress.

This is not entirely true.
Investigation of the resumption of production of the F-22, US Air Force kept secret for over a year
The Air Force also noted approximately 95 percent of the F-22-related production tooling is still available.
(The Air Force also noted that roughly 95 percent of the production equipment associated with the F-22 is still available.)
The report indicated that if another country, Japan Israel, and possibly Australia, could also be interested in buying one or two squadrons of new production F-22s, it would be willing to pay the one-time costs of restarting production, but this would be at the expense of the production of F- 35 that at this stage it is not profitable.
The most cost-effective way to increase the power of the F-22 is to upgrade the 33 old 20 F-22 units used for training and testing to full operational readiness.

[Others]

Vitalik, I am not at all opposed to Israel having F-22s. But, as you know, at this stage it can only be at the level of rumors. There have already been such conversations, and now, against the background of the sale of the UAE 50 F-35, they are even more active. So far, the plans are to purchase F-35A and F-15i. It will be clearer further.

Without objections.
I hope you know that Israel has long wanted to acquire the GBU-57 bomb and Congress will pass a sale law, this is not a rumor, two senators from different parties have submitted this bill, which increases the chance of this law being passed.
The Israeli Air Force has no means of delivering this bomb, except for the Hercules, which is not safe and the question arises of how to safely deliver it.
In the United States, there are 33 non-combat F-22s for training, old modifications that they want to modify. Israel needs no more than one squadron of 12.
It is logical to assume that this modification will be carried out by Israel and this will be the first basing of the F-22 in the Middle East, which should also suit the United States.
