I'm not slamming the USA! look at the date of these posts! they are six months ago! Iv'e learned thing or two since than about designing and how hard it is and I think (and hope) that everyone alse knows that here.
The USA is Israel's best friend. without them I can guess that I was never borned, because Israel couldn't be, since our enemies were destroyng us to the ground. The Lavi is my favorite A/C and you can't find anyone that likes him better than me (beside the IAI and Moshe Arens), but even I admit that he was a mistake. as an aircaft. but not as for the technologies that we developed for him, with great and most friendly help from the US. In fact, we are selling these technologies all over world, including what even I see as an Israeli rudeness, selling most of the Lavi technology to China :-/.
remember that Israel is in difficult times, and we sure need the US aid. none of us wants this money, but we have to accept it because if we don't, we'll die.
And in fact, what have I said about the US that wasn't true? all I said is that the Lavi project was cancelled from two main reasons. both of them because of the US. the Congress stop the funding and the second one is that the US pressured Israel to buy F-16's or F-18's.
And we so good things with this aid. we stop terror, funding the IDF and developing new and some of the best weapons on earth, and a good example is the Merkava MBT. or you think he was a waste of money and time too and we should of buy American "Abrams"? HELL NO. and I'm truly sorry (for you) if you think that I'm rude (and I'm not, it's just me.) than it's your own problem.
I can't believe that I wrote that long speech in such short time
