Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo F-35 fighter jets land in Israel’s Nevatim air base from the United States, after making a short stop in Italy, according to the army.
With their reception, Israel’s fleet of the fifth-generation stealth fighter, known in Israel as the Adir, grows to nine aircraft. The first of the planes reached Israel in December of last year, and are in the process of becoming fully integrated into the Israeli Air Force.
Israel has agreed to purchase 50 F-35 fighter jets from the US firm Lockheed Martin. They are due to be delivered over the course of the next few years.
