    Israel’s F-35 Stealth Jets Are Sending a Message to Iran

    Yes, that they can fly around Iran at will and Iran won't know it. This article is about Israel training with its partners and honing the use of their F-35s.

    Israel’s F-35 Stealth Jets Are Sending a Message to Iran

    Israel sending its F-35 jets abroad represents a turning point for the country.
    For the first time, Israeli Air Force F-35s practiced alongside the Italians, the United States and the U.K. in a joint exercise dubbed Falcon Strike. The F-35 jets flew to Italy. “Together with our allies, we soar higher every day,” said the Israeli Defense Forces.


    The important drill took place on June 6. It involved elements of the U.S. Air Force, the Royal Air Force, the Italian Air Force and the Israeli Air Force. Six F-35s flew to Italy to participate in the two-week exercise. It was the furthest the Israeli F-35s have flown for a drill, according to various reports. Israel’s F-35 jets have increasingly taken part in F-35 joint drills. The F-35 jet is a unique fifth-generation aircraft and Israel’s Adir version has special qualities. Israel initially sought to acquire fifty of the aircraft, but may eventually procure seventy-five of them. It has had two squadrons since early 2020. It continues to receive several of the advanced Lockheed Martin airplanes every year.


    In 2020 the United States and Israel did three joint drills with F-35 jets, called Enduring Lightning. These were regional exercises in which the U.S. planes flew from Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates to Israel. These were important and unprecedented drills because they took place during the coronavirus under difficult circumstances where pilots often couldn’t meet face-to-face with their counterparts from other countries. Now, with the Israel Defense Forces completely vaccinated and the rest of Israel doing well in relation to the coronavirus, exercises can return with more international partners.

    I believe, those particular F-35's sold to Israel, come with just about all the goodies. All F-35's are not created equal.

    Perhaps to stupid people. Lockheed is planning on selling around 197 of the planes this year.

    Israel proves it with its operations over Iran. Iran has Russia's best air defense radar and they can't see it.

    That's debatable , actually . It was first reported in a Kuwaiti newspaper article , but not a great deal of attention was payed to it........but someone picked it up and ran with it......no doubt it would be excellent for sales if it were true , but it is debatable .....even unlikely considering the planes had only recently been delivered to Israel at that time.

    Iran did see the F-35s leaving because Israel took them out of stealth mode. So Iran would know they had been flown over.
