It's probably about missiles on Egyptian F16s. Air Force Slang, you pick them up once they are built.

The U. S. Army Missile Command has traditionally accepted production lots of small missiles through live firing of
production samples. Commonly known as "Fly-To-Buy (FTB)" testing, a multi-level sampling plan is used to determine lot
acceptability and provide benefits.

BENEFITS
Increases Confidence in Product Quality
Identifies Problems with Government Furnished Property
Allows Immediate Corrective Action
Results in Improvements In Hardware Quality and Reliability
Design/Process Deficiencies
Potential for Stockpile Purification

So, there will be 28 extra missiles, randomly selected from that particular production lot, specifically for life fire testing to determine acceptability (quality) of that production lot.
