Quote: from obvious child at 6:52 pm on Sep. 23, 2008And if you read that article, you'd notice that the US co-funded and provided much of the technology for the arrow missile system. Furthermore the Arrow is directly derived from the Patriot Missile system, the PAC-1 (not the 2nd or 3rd). The Arrow has so much US tech that the US has the right to deny Israeli sales of the arrow to other countries. Inventing their own shit my ass. The wikipedia link for the Merkava details the numerous parts that the Isrealis bought from other countries. The gun system for the Mk4 is German. The engine is german as well! General Dynamics Land Systems is the largest contractor and guess where they are incorporated?
Do you not know what the difference between 2000 and 1990 are?

Really. I have the internet too.
Just because the Lavi wasn't finished doesn't mean they invented it.
Good job for not knowing your facts.
Better luck next time.
Care to discuss why Israel constantly spies on the US and its weapons programs?
Avoiding that eh?
If the US was giving israel its defense tech, then they would have given israel the laser missile defense system, but alas they did not.
Just because they are similar, does not mean they are the same.
i know israel bought the essentials from other countries. Many NOT being the United States. I also know they have improved just about everything they have received.
Did you read the article I gave you on the lavi?
I didn't think so.
They did invent it.
" Care to discuss why Israel constantly spies on the US and its weapons programs?

No. Im not avoiding it. I just don't know the answer. The Israeli secret service hasn't told me their intentions.
