Quote:
84 new F-15 fighters, upgrade 70 more, and purchase three types of helicopters—70 Apaches, 72 Black Hawks and 36 Little Birds, officials said.

Had to read the article a couple times but i understand why the US is doing this. They're surrounding Iran with Allies. That's why we're so persistent on upgrading Saudi's air defense with this deal, surrounding Iran with SAM sites so they can't launch a missile.

Actually makes perfect sense
