Approved: Israeli Systems Will Be Installed Onboard the F-35

A congressional report reveals that the US government approved the installation of advanced Israeli-produced radio and data transfer systems onboard the advanced fighter aircraft

The US government has agreed to allow the air force to install Israeli-produced radio and data link systems onboard the F-35 stealth fighter aircraft. As revealed in the report of the US Congressional Research Service, which IsraelDefense has obtained, this commitment represents the first significant US waiver with regards to the installation of Israeli systems onboard the advanced fighter aircraft.
The use of advanced radio and data link systems will provide the aircraft with greater immunity to deliberate jamming of its communication systems.
The report further reveals that if Israel were to procure more than 20 F-35s, the US government would consider allowing the country to add “black boxes” to the aircraft’s Electronic Warfare (EW) system, which would present unique Israeli-developed capabilities to the system.
The US has so far refused to allow the air force even partial access to the fighter's EW system. A key issue which has yet to be solved, and is not mentioned in the report, is the US demand that Israel send the aircraft to undergo heavy maintenance at a European maintenance center.
According to the aircraft directorate in the US, all the countries in the Middle East and in Europe that procure the aircraft will transfer the aircraft to undergo heavy maintenance (Grade D) at a European center. The Israeli Air Force has informed the US that this demand is unacceptable, and it will insist that all maintenance grades be carried out in Israel.
A source close to the issue said that the US understands Israel’s special needs regarding this issue; however, a formal decision has yet to be made. “We would be happy if the regional maintenance center were to be established here. However, we will not send aircraft beyond Israel's borders,” said the source.

Last month there were concerns over induction of F-35 in Israel Air force and now this news, it means US actually allowed Israel for modifications as per need not to lose a purchaser.

Think tank urges Israel to re-think purchase of ‘flawed’ F-35s | World Tribune

Your opinion?

TO even think that Israel was going to suffer because of some US Congressionmen trying to diversify their politics is foolish. It was going to happen eventually.

It will be israeli birds in hebrew.

So..how many of these birds are you acquiring again? 70 or 100 or how many?

F35 operate by israel can boosts the selling of the jet. Alot of airforce see IAF as a pre-text for good fighter-jets and USA acknowledge that. IAF always buy stuff that he need and if the f35 need to be upgrade to israeli standart it wll be upgrade. IAF want f35 to be integrate before he land in israel.

So..how many of these birds are you acquiring again? 70 or 100 or how many?

For time being ISRAEL order squadron of 20 f35
A squadron of another 20 f35 discussed right now.
Israel looking for 70-100 f35.

Its guerilla warfare, same as USSR was fighting in Afghanistan. Also called "De-centralized" warfare. A standing army like that of pakistan's can be wiped out within a few hours if US wishes.

Then why dont they wish to wipe pakistan??

Don't take favour, it's in your hand. Compromised nation can't make history but lives like slaves under fear of incompetence.

Bro, I agree with the 'it's in your hand' part.

Point is that if we will try to hurt US military in Afghanistan, their will be consequences in return. And it should be noted that Americans are not so forgiving. They will take revenge at any time of their choosing. Therefore, it is in our hand to not give US such an initiative in the first place.

Our objective should be stabilization of Afghanistan.

Then why dont they wish to wipe pakistan??

This is silly question. Pakistan and USA are not at war with each other.

Nobody was comfortable with Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, including the Soviets themselves.
