Israel to Boost F-35 Capabilities After Iran Deal
- 9 years ago
Israel is actively working to double the range of its F-35 defense fighters, officials said Thursday, in an announcement made just before the Senate Congress vote on the Iran deal.
The development was specifically made with "an eye on Iran" and other Middle East developments.
"The Stealth and other advanced capabilities provided by this fifth-generation fighter are self-evident," an Israeli air force officer told Defense News.
The officer, who is deeply involved in the Adir program, noted that Iran is aware of the threat the F-35 poses.
