Israel Receives Its First Two F-35 Fighter Jets



Times of Israel: First two F-35 jets en route to Israel

Stealth aircraft to touch down at Nevatim Air Base for reception ceremony to be attended by US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter

The first two F-35 jets purchased from the US are expected in Israel on Monday, and will land at the Nevatim Air Base in southern Israel where a reception ceremony will be held.

The two will be the first of 50 aircraft that Israel has agreed to purchase from US giant Lockheed-Martin.

The stealth fighters set out from one of the company’s Texas locations this week, making a stop near Portugal, and will land in Italy for the weekend before setting out for Israel on Monday morning, Ynet news reported Thursday.

Jay is right, Israel already did that with parts of the F-16. That's very sad from an allied.

& when did Israel do this.

Not saying the did not, but when did they?

The link was not especially convincing

I am reminded of Germany, France and Russia during the Vietnam War. All had ship at Haiphong

The U.S. mined Haiphong harbor. The Russians said nothing. They figured they would win anyway. The Germans and French were upset.

Nuff said.
