“When countries transact in complex weapons systems like fighter jets, they aren’t just trading cash for hardware. The recipient will require spare parts, maintenance assistance, and training from the seller nation—not to mention the weapons that make each aircraft effective—over the three-decade-plus lifetime of the aircraft. When the U.S. sells extremely capable fighter jets like the F-15 to another nation, it is establishing a long-term relationship and signaling trust. The recipient in turn makes itself dependent on U.S. industry and arms exports for years to come.”
