The reason is that Israel would save as much as 20-30 percent of the $3 bill- ion purchase price if the F-16 infra-structure and spare parts could be pro- duced at home.

Israel has or- dered 25 of the planes, three of which were deli- vered last year, but the Israel Air Force prefers to wait for the F-16s which are an advanced model.
