Israel's Ministry of Defense has secured a significant deal with Boeing, valued at $5.2 billion, for the procurement of 25 advanced F-15IA fighter jets. This strategic acquisition aims to bolster Israel's air defence capabilities. The contract also includes an option for purchasing an additional 25 aircraft, with deliveries scheduled to commence in 2031. The F-15 jets, developed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing), will play a crucial role in enhancing Israel's national security and military preparedness. This deal underscores the country's commitment to modernizing its defence infrastructure.
