En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, les Isra\u00e9liens discutaient avec les Am\u00e9ricains depuis 1996-97 sur la possibilit\u00e9 d&rsquo;un achat de cet avion de combat.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tVoici quelques extraits de <a href=\"http:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/story.php?F=2421469&#038;C=thisweek\" class=\"gen\">l&rsquo;article de Defense News<\/a> (acc\u00e8s r\u00e9glement\u00e9).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00ab <em>Israel will not purchase America&rsquo;s newest strike fighter, the F\/A-22 Raptor, and instead will base its future front-line fleet on the planned multirole Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) and existing F-16 and F-15 jets.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb <em>Maj. Gen. Dani Haloutz, who commands the Israel Air Force, said the service concluded it simply could not afford the stealthy aircraft, whose flyaway costs  according to conservative U.S. Air Force estimates  will exceed $100 million per copy.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb <em>At one point, the Israel Air Force had hoped to buy 50 F\/A-22s for use by decade&rsquo;s end. The decision to abandon the Raptor caps years of internal evaluations and discussions with prime contractor Lockheed Martin and Pentagon representatives over costs, operational capabilities and the service&rsquo;s desire to integrate myriad Israeli subsystems into the U.S. platform. The F\/A-22 is a great airplane, but now, any way we try to look at it, it&rsquo;s too expensive for us, Haloutz said.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb <em>Severe cuts in Israeli defense spending for 2004 and later years have frozen, delayed or killed modernization programs in all branches of the Israel Defense Forces.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb <em>Amos Yaron, the retired major general who directs Israel&rsquo;s Ministry of Defense, confirmed Haloutz&rsquo;s conclusion. We all know the Air Force had high hopes for this aircraft, but I don&rsquo;t think it ever was a formal item on our procurement agenda, Yaron said. And now, with the budget situation the way it is, there&rsquo;s no way that we&rsquo;ll be purchasing the F\/A-22. The next new aircraft to be introduced to the Israel Air Force will be the JSF and even that is at least 10 years down the road.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tPar ailleurs, les Isra\u00e9liens annoncent l&rsquo;arriv\u00e9e d&rsquo;une nouvelle version du F-16, le F-16I (premier des 200 exemplaires command\u00e9s remis aux Isra\u00e9liens le 14 novembre), qu&rsquo;ils pr\u00e9sentent de la fa\u00e7on la plus flatteuse possible (d\u00e9claration du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Haloutz, qui dirige la force a\u00e9rienne) : \u00ab <em>I believe this will be one of the best fighters flying in the 21st century, the general said. We have included all our operational experience and all of our technological expertise in this aircraft. It is designed from the very beginning to host a wide range of our own sensors and weapon systems, and it will be a main part of the Israel Air Force net, through which all our flying platforms are connected to one and to systems on the ground.<\/em> \u00bb <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tLa d\u00e9cision isra\u00e9lienne de refus du F\/A-22 est exceptionnelle \u00e0 plus d&rsquo;un \u00e9gard. C&rsquo;est, depuis que des liens strat\u00e9giques d&rsquo;une force consid\u00e9rable se sont \u00e9tablis avec les USA (\u00e0 partir de 1967-73), la premi\u00e8re fois qu&rsquo;Isra\u00ebl ne suit pas sa politique d&rsquo;acquisition automatique des mat\u00e9riels am\u00e9ricains les plus avanc\u00e9s. On peut avancer deux hypoth\u00e8ses, qui seraient, si elles se confirment, deux raisons extr\u00eamement importantes expliquant cette d\u00e9cision, derri\u00e8re les seules raisons d&rsquo;intendance (le prix du F\/A-22).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t Le refus d&rsquo;Isra\u00ebl pourrait appara\u00eetre comme le premier refus significatif du d\u00e9veloppement maximal des technologies. Le F\/A-22 est un monstre \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, et le seul avion de ce type, tant en capacit\u00e9s qu&rsquo;en int\u00e9gration de technologies. Sa puissance et son statut en font un v\u00e9ritable chasseur strat\u00e9gique, sans aucun \u00e9quivalent. Le refus isra\u00e9lien, accompagn\u00e9 de l&rsquo;affirmation que la flotte actuelle renforc\u00e9e du F-16I (nouvelle version d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e pour Isra\u00ebl) et, dans une dizaine d&rsquo;ann\u00e9es, \u00e9ventuellement du JSF, devrait suffire pour les besoins a\u00e9riens, pourrait bien signifier que les Isra\u00e9liens ne voient plus l&rsquo;int\u00e9r\u00eat de disposer des capacit\u00e9s d&rsquo;un F\/A-22. Fondamentalement, cette d\u00e9cision pourrait figurer comme le premier refus significatif, par une force a\u00e9rienne d&rsquo;un poids significatif, de la formule du d\u00e9veloppement maximal, sans contr\u00f4le ni limite, des syst\u00e8mes de hautes technologies. La d\u00e9cision tendrait alors aussi bien \u00e0 isoler de plus en plus l&rsquo;Am\u00e9rique dans sa recherche du progr\u00e8s technologique \u00e0 tout prix et sans contr\u00f4le, en m\u00eame temps qu&rsquo;elle contribuerait \u00e0 poser d&rsquo;une fa\u00e7on pratique la question du d\u00e9veloppement des \u00e9quipements face \u00e0 des conflits de moins en moins caract\u00e9ris\u00e9s par le besoin de syst\u00e8mes de tr\u00e8s haute technologie.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t Le refus isra\u00e9lien peut aussi \u00eatre interpr\u00e9t\u00e9 d&rsquo;une autre fa\u00e7on (laquelle pourrait \u00e9galement compl\u00e9ter la pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente), comme une certaine \u00e9volution tendant \u00e0 envisager une int\u00e9gration moindre d&rsquo;Isra\u00ebl dans le dispositif strat\u00e9gique US. On peut rapprocher alors la position isra\u00e9lienne sur le F\/A-22 d&rsquo;une autre position, l&rsquo;int\u00e9r\u00eat montr\u00e9 par les Isra\u00e9liens pour une \u00e9ventuelle participation au syst\u00e8me europ\u00e9en Galileo, de pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence au GPS am\u00e9ricain. A cette lumi\u00e8re, on peut proposer effectivement une interpr\u00e9tation strat\u00e9gique de la position isra\u00e9lienne.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Une d\u00e9cision qui fera date : Isra\u00ebl dit non au F\/A-22 27 novembre 2003 L&rsquo;hebdomadaire Defense News du 24 novembre publie un article annon\u00e7ant qu&rsquo;Isra\u00ebl d\u00e9cline l&rsquo;offre am\u00e9ricaine d&rsquo;acqu\u00e9rir des Lockheed Martin F\/A-22 Raptor.
