Why does the IDF put 30 gajillion fuel tanks on the F-16 instead of just asking for the XL to finally be finished?

>>65223088>F-16XLjust delta wing my shit up senpai
>>65223088Why not an XL with NCT?
>>65223088She was too pure for this gay world.
>>65223115>Why not an XL with NCT?You can be a cat or you can be a bat.
>>65223088>>65223156one day pandramodo will draw thiqque f16 wife, and the DoD will have no choice but to finish their great work after witnessing such perfection
>>65223088Because they're cheap kikes? I mean come on, this shit writes itself.
>>65223088>Why does the IDFBecause the US pays for everything, so do what ever they want. Money is not an issue
>>65223088You may not like it, but this is definitively, beyond a shadow of a doubt the best looking delta ever, or at least since the Saab Draken. The cranked delta wing without any gay looking canards combined with the clean look of the f-16 is pure sexo, it looks way cooler than a stock f-16. The only think better would be a delta f-15
>>65223088Because they've already got the F-15 for long-range operations.
>>65223088Because the point is increasing the capabilities of assets they already have or are already being produced at scale thus easier to get.They want to make their small and cheap jet better for their needs, not spend money to do what a big jet they can already buy does. The Strike Eagle won the program the XL was built for and Israel can buy them, so why commission the loser?
Since I have severe mental and cognitive disabilities, I dont understand why they put control surfaces on the front of the wing. It would still work with only flaps on the back?
>>65223994>pays for everythingWhat percentage of Israel's military budget is covered by US aid?
>>65224453>control surfaces on the front of the wingIt's to prevent or modify stalls usually.
>>652244585-10%.
>>65224458About 20%. Israel defense budget prior to current shit show in Gaza and Iran was bit over 20 billion a year, wars have raised that to around 45 billion. Baseline peace time US military aid to has been around 4 billion a year and current wars have raised that to 12 billion a year.
>>65224571>and current wars have raised that to 12 billion a year.That was a one-time thing: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1625044/us-military-aid-to-israel/
>>65223088Imagine the XL with gajilion fuel tanks.
>>65223095>>65223088I wish to do unprotected missionary intercourse with a double-delta 16.
>>65223088Because "finishing" the XL would've cost billions of dollars that were instead spent on making F-16 CFTs and then buying a whole fleet of F-15I's.
>>65224458>What percentage of Israel's military budget is covered by US aid?350%
>>65224458https://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article7.htmlMost of their F16s were brought using US aid
>>65224060Funny, I was just thinking of making almost this exact post the other day, before this thread was even up.
>>65223088Are you talking about conformal tanks? Everyone uses them.
