KABUL: The United States has provided three new F-35 fighter jets to the Israeli military, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, according to The Israel Times newspaper.
Officials cited in the report stated that the move is based on the Zionist regime’s request and has no connection to the ongoing tensions with Iran.
With the arrival of these new jets, Israel’s air force will now have a total of 48 F-35 fighter jets. The Israeli military has indicated that the three aircraft flew from the United States to southern Israel and will join the Israeli Air Force’s 116th and 140th squadrons.
The report adds that these jets are part of Israel’s order for a total of 50 F-35s, with an additional six expected to be delivered in March and April of 2025.
Under procurement agreements between Israel and the U.S., a total of 74 F-35 fighter jets are expected to be delivered to Israel in the coming years.
The F-35 fighter jets, produced by Lockheed Martin, are considered among the most advanced military aircraft in the world, featuring cutting-edge technology under U.S. control.
