US SELLS UAE BETTER F-16's THAN ISRAEL'S

U.S. Sells World's Best F-16s to United Arab Emirates - Arieh O'Sullivan (Jerusalem Post)
The United Arab Emirates this week took delivery of the most advanced F-16 warplane ever produced - the "Block 60" version. The planes are more advanced than the newest Israeli F-16 I "Block 50+." It is one of the few weapon systems in the hands of an Arab state qualitatively superior to that in the Israeli arsenal. The UAE is paying $6.4 billion for the 80 jets.
