A: Order additional Typhoons
B: Go ahead with the French Rafael deal.

End result is the Boeing loses out on a lot of cash

Its always nice when Israel demands more money. Too bad they never pay back the loans we give em


They'd lose out on some of the strike capability they'd get with the F-15sg but both the Typhoon and Rafeal have decent enough strike capability.
Either way I don't think the Saudi's give their pilots enough flight time to hone their skills enough to be competitive with the Israeli's.

rafale is a sexy bitch. then again, dassault always has had good looking designs
