via the Jerusalem Post.
The Israel Air Force plans to purchase a second squadron of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters during the upcoming IDF multi-year procurement plan that is currently under review within the General Staff.Read the whole thing, but as I've been saying for the past year. This program is gaining momentum...the US Marines, Israeli's and several others are fully committed to the program.
Last October, Israel purchased its first squadron of 20 F-35s in a $2.75 billion deal. The aircraft are manufactured by Lockheed Martin and are expected to begin arriving in Israel in late 2016- early 2017.
The critics have failed.
I must say i am not excited for isreal to get these. isreal has shown it will share military technology with anyone, including china, it scares me what we put in their hands may go somewhere else.
