US Announces $9 Billion Boeing Contract for Israeli F-15 Fighters

The Pentagon announced a new $9 billion contract with Boeing for the construction of 25 new F-15IA fighter jets for the Israeli Air Force, with an option for another 25. The contract includes the design, integration, instrumentation, testing, production, and delivery of the aircraft, with deliveries expected to be completed by December 31, 2035. The US remains Israel's primary arms supplier for decades, despite pressure from protesters and Palestinian activists to halt military support. This agreement signifies the continuation of strong military cooperation between the two countries, regardless of political developments and humanitarian concerns.
