This away interest factor for me for one things could have brought around follow Arie reason Israel did build main timeline is that USA welling sell Israel their own advance planes. No funds left for the Arie. One Iran revolution delay maybe few years so Israel bought F-16 early. Second Israel air force command was interest more indigestion fighter build Israel lower number F-15 and F-16 get. Third just Israel air force had more funds available for air force.
What interest about this that way Israel brag about effective own design aircaft would allow congress to sell more F-15 to the Arab states. Leading much bigger arms deal Saudi Arabia Kawait and Egypt.
