The list of defense-related and other gifts the U.S. administration is willing to offer Israel in exchange for construction freeze in the settlements, includes 20 F-35 fighter jets.
Price per unit..$130 million each.
Those jets are sitting ready for an attack ? Well maybe they are there, definitely not sitting on the runway waiting for clearance to take off. Maybe taken out of storage.
They will fly many missions/exercises before they are on any sort of alert for attack !
