Three F-35i “Adir” fighter jets produced by Lockheed Martin arrived in Israel on Sunday, touching down at Nevatim Air Base.
The newly delivered aircraft are slated to enter service with the 116th Squadron and the 140th Squadron, and have already been marked with the insignia of the Israeli Air Force.
Since the war began, the “Adir” aircraft have been in constant use, carrying out a broad spectrum of missions, both defensive and offensive, across all active theaters.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the addition of these jets further strengthens the “Adir” array and enhances the overall operational effectiveness of the Israeli Air Force.
Israel also emphasized the strategic importance of its defense relationship with the United States, describing it as part of a shared commitment to reinforcing stability throughout the Middle East.
