Israel to Take Delivery of Two More F-35 Fighter Jets
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Israel will take delivery of two more stealth F-35 fighter jets by the end of the month, joining the five already at Israel Air Force bases. The all-weather, multirole fighter has an extremely low radar signature and can operate undetected deep inside enemy territory. It can evade advanced missile defenses like Iran's Russian-made S-300 system. Former Israel Air Force chief Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amir Eshel said that Israel gathered new intelligence during a single flight by an F-35 earlier this year that other reconnaissance systems would take weeks to gather.
