arms aid to israel is really a internal subsidy for the american mil-industrial complex. all aid must be spent by buying american goods and services, so the money never leaves US shores…it goes to lockheed , grumann et al.

same for aid to other needy elements.

but a notar helo has no tail rotor by definition.it uses a blast
of air from the main engine fired to the side instead. a few bullet holes in the tail boom wont hurt this puppy much.

UAE F16s will get APG80 “Agile Beam” AESA radar.

I always wonder why many scientists wear white lab coats?

if working with chemicals it might detect spills but for electronics?

the armed version will hopefully get a kevlar + titanium bathtub.

10 feet longer throws out the similar in size right there!

also coming to weight isnt the all-up weight of F22 around 21t
while SU27 around 30t ?

F22 has a boxy and capacious frame but overall not all that
big compared to Su27 as your figures point out.
