Just hours after US CENTCOM Commander Gen. Kurilla landed in Tel Aviv, a new delivery of at least 3 F-35i ADIR FIGHTER JETS arrived in Israel from the US.
They were escorted over the Mediterranean by 2 USAF KC-135R tankers, before reaching their destination at Nevatim Air Base in Israel ๐ฎ๐ฑ
Israel ๐ฎ๐ฑ received 3 additional new F-35 (#968, #969, #977), bringing the grand total of Israeli F-35s to 45 aircraft. Soon will be 50 before the next batch of 25 to be delivered in the next few years.
In a future escalation, BALLISTIC MISSILE interceptions originating from Iran ๐ฎ๐ท may also be carried out by ๐ฎ๐ฑ fighter jets. This capability has been theoretically assessed by the U.S. military, and is expected to be operational in the NEAR future using F-35 aircraft during the initial launch phases of ballistic missiles.
