(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - The Pentagon's decision to stop the delivery of F-35 stealth fighter jet equipment to Turkey due to Ankara's decision to purchase the Russian-made S-400 air defense system will allow Israel to keep its aerial superiority in the Middle East. Israel currently has 14 F-35 jets and is expected to have 50 planes by 2024.

As a partner in the F-35 program, Turkey invested over $1 billion on the jet, with several local companies producing fuselages and cockpit screens. Turkish defense companies also produce high-end SOM-J missiles for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program and Turkey is Europe's maintenance and repair center for the F-35.2019-04-04 00:00:00Full Article
