The Israeli army received two American F-35 fighter jets
as part of a deal to buy 50 jets over the next few years.
Israeli army spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said in a press
release: “Israel received two jets last night in an official ceremony.” Israel
now has seven F-35 jets.
“The two jets received yesterday will be added to the
five already owned by Israel. The operational preparation for these jets will
begin soon.”
“These F-35 jets are considered the most advanced in the
world, as they are highly advanced in formulating an image of the situation and
processing information immediately, making it a multi-functional weapon with
unprecedented capabilities.”
Israel had made a deal with the US to buy 50 of these
jets, at a cost of $100 million each. They are considered the most advanced
jets in terms of their ability to pass through radars undetected and fly long
distances without needing refueling.
