WTF, we build planes for petes sake. We give billions to Israel in foreign aid, the least they could do is to buy from us. This must be a result of the piss poor treatment Israel has received from Obummer administration. What do you think? [/quote] OP..,am not a supporter of Israel,but i think israel got a really good deal and Italy has agreed to buy $1 billion in Israeli defense equipment. (Israel got jets for defense equipment).u need to appreciate Israel for spending their purse in a nice balanced way. OP since u r USAF retired u would be knowing much about jets and i dont know anything,but i guess Lockheed Martin gave a quote of $1.6 billion dollars for T-50s and Italians finally settled for $1 billion for M-346 and also agreed to buy the Iron Dome anti-missile system worth $1 billion.(looks as if Joe girard's went representing Israel...lol!). [/quote] Thank you very much for posting this info. I am not a fanatic Israeli supporter, but I support their right to exist. The big difference in price between the U.S, and Italy has to be the outrageous union wages we have to pay the workers. This makes us not able to compete in the world. This, as you know, is why so much of our products and services are being sent to your country. We are an importing nation now because of it. [/quote] Am an Indian Muslim and oppose Israel's atrocities against palestines..,but at the same Israel like any other nation is got the right to exist. now coming back to point i guess this deal was a marketing strategy by Italians to push their product by giving for such low price,most of the countries normally follow Israel in buying defense equips..as they are known to buy the best in the market and Alenia Aermacchi got much publicity with this deal and are sure to attract bidders. As u said Op,outrageous union wages is giving hard time to American products to compete in global market,only thing that stand out these days is Innovative.Anything that is different and reliable will make it big. Just take the example of 1970s and 1980s US automobile surge. [/quote]
