https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait_Air_Force

i guess they want to sell off their old stuff since they are getting newer super hornet and typhoon

No surprise if India want it, they have the know how to carry put a full overhaul

I was also told our mig29 is relative low hour compared to india whose use it more intensively

P3-C

another million dollar question.. will they also transfer their missiles and ammunition to us if the deal goes through

they wont...it can be used for the new SH

why would we want their ammo too?

beat us buying a new one to resupply

The missile got shelf life. Not worth the maintenance. Can buy from Us new one

Israeli Air Force to host 7 nations in its largest-ever air drill

TEL AVIV, Israel — The Israeli Air Force will host flying forces from seven nations later this year in the largest and most complex air exercise in its history.

Nearly 100 aircraft and several hundreds of air warriors and support crews from the United States, Greece, Poland, France, Germany, India and Italy will converge here in the autumn for Blue Flag, a biennial, two-week drill aimed at honing the type of planning, targeting and coordinated command and control demanded by coalitions operating in high-threat theaters.

“It will be a massive exercise; the biggest ever for the IAF. Seven nations plus Israel,” said Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, the Israeli Air Force's chief of international affairs.

Of the seven confirmed participants, four have never before actively participated in Blue Flag, which began in 2013 and continued in 2015 as a four-way exercise involving Israel, the U.S., Greece and Poland. This year, however, four new nations are participating, along with officers and attaches from nearly 40 countries who are expected to attend as observers.

“Everybody wants to engage and cooperate with the IAF. It’s a privilege,” said Hecht, who spent four years on the Israel Defense Forces’ J5 planning staff, primarily coordinating bilateral issues between the U.S. and Israel.
