I know they do, on both counts, but they buy a lot of our shit too.
You don't think f-16's and F-15's are free, do you?
Especially not the fuel or the ordinance.
All of which is extremely expensive.
I bet we equal out on money given each other.
1 F-16 is about 20 M, one F-15 (depending on model and if it is an Eagle or Strike Eagle) is about 30 to 35 M, and I know we didn't just give those to them.
But yes, a lot of our money goes to their military, I've said that before, the top 4 fighting groups on the Earth are (in no order) Navy SEALS, US SpecOpsSOCOM, Israeli SP.FCS. and maybe the German SO Bundeswehr Heer or the Green Berets (which do a lot more than what is asked and operate as single entities.) But the only people the SEALS train with as a subsidiary unit is the Israeli (Some Hebrew Shit Here, because I forget.)
So not only is it obvious to me that we have a partnership, but it is obvious that we have a running partnership in the war economy.
