Exactly right. And the Lavi wasn't the first time US technology meant for Israel somehow wound up in the hands of the Chinese.
I find it abit obcene that we give Isreal $11 Bilion a year and they pull sh** like this.
And why do the Israelis need the F-22? Its an air superiority fighter its not like Hamas has state of the art-air defense and its AtG is very limited.
Its an offensive weapon, designed to penetrate the air defense of say... Iran.
Never mind, I now know what they need it for...
