Israel has signed a $5.2 billion agreement with Boeing to purchase 25 advanced F-15 fighter jets, with the option to acquire an additional 25, financed by U.S. military aid. Deliveries are set to begin in 2031, with batches of four to six jets delivered annually. The F-15 jets will feature cutting-edge weapons systems and integrate Israeli technologies, enhancing Israel's strategic air power and reach. This acquisition is part of Israel's broader efforts to bolster its military capabilities amid ongoing conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. The deal is part of a larger U.S. aid package, but the U.S. has warned Israel about the need to improve aid deliveries to Gaza, which could affect military support. The new F-15 squadron, alongside a third F-35 squadron, represents a significant enhancement of Israel's air capabilities, deemed crucial in the current geopolitical climate.
