Israel Asks for F-22 Stealth Jets to Preserve Military Edge

Israel would be far better off waiting on NGAD, than trying to get the F-22 production line up and running for a handful of jets.

Or they could get used F22s we offload when NGAD gets delivered here

They would be worn out by then....Plus, even more capable and upgraded F-35's would be available by that time period!

The US could allow Israel to join one of the new 6th Generation Fighter Programs...

The early LRIP jets should only be through their first design life in the (early) NGAD timeframe.

Going by the ASIP conferences, the F-22 looks very solid (one of the most titanium intensive serial production fighters) out through 2.5 - 3 design lives.

There are many reasons why Block 10/20s won't end up with the Israelis but I don't think this is one of them.
