The US Department of War on Monday revealed that Boeing had been awarded a nearly $8.6bn contract to make F-15 fighter jets for Israel.

The deal was announced shortly after US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded a joint press conference in Palm Beach, Florida.

The contract involves the "design, integration, instrumentation, test, production and delivery of 25 new F-15IA aircraft for the Israeli Air Force, with an option for an additional 25 F-15IA aircraft," according to a routine statement that lists the Pentagon's new contracts.

Since 7 October 2023, Israel has used US aircraft and weapons to kill more than 71,000 people in Gaza. Trump, however, said he was not worried about what decisions Israel may take.

"I'm not concerned about anything that Israel is doing. I'm concerned about what other people are doing, or maybe aren't doing," he said in response to a question about whether Israel was moving fast enough to implement his so-called "peace plan".

On the plus side, as it's the current Boeing building them, they may kill more pilots than children.

You're Boeing to die

The US is currently this weird thing where it's got the size and power of Nazi Germany, but it's more like Mussolini's Italy.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Appropriate, given that Mussolini was Trump's childhood idol

He obviously didn't read to the end of the biography.

Heavy speculation as to how literate Trump actually is.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Fuck. For real?!

Boeing: It's a War Criminal thing, you wouldn't understand.

Joke's on Israel. Boeing isn't going to deliver those planes in our lifetime

[–] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Nah, I'm sure they're digging through the trash for parts as we speak!

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Likely true, but they'll still take the money.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Israel is inevitably paying the Boeing bill with US taxpayer money.

Fuck you, Kelly Ortberg, you piece of shit.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

F15s? According to Top Gun Maverick, this aircraft is ancient. Why not sell them P51 Mustangs?
