F-35I "Adir" ... ecco chi si occupa della manutenzione ...
The 140th ("Golden Eagle") Squadron's Technical Department is responsible for the entirety of the "Adir" (F-35I) fighter jet's maintenance process.
"The 'Adir' is unlike any aircraft we've ever heard of", said Maj. H', commander of the squadron's technical department.
"The 'Adir' is very advanced in the field of maintenance, capable of participating in a sort of 'discourse' with the technicians", elaborated Maj. H.
"The aircraft provides notifications whenever its parts need to be changed. It also has countless sensors constantly overviewing the aircraft, and we're immediately notified when any sign of wear is detected".

The British military acknowledged for the first time on Tuesday that its fighter jets carried out a joint excercise with their Israeli counterparts.
The United Kingdom's Permanent Joint Headquarters posted on Twitter about the F-35 training exercise, which also included American aircraft.
The announcement comes at a time of heightened military cooperation between the United Kingdom and Israel.
Israeli aircraft will, for the first time, participate in an exercise in the Combat Warrior exercise in Britain in September.

Dal momento che nel comunicato si parla, sia pur genericamente, anche di impiego degli F-35 ... penso si possa ipotizzare anche la presenza di un'aliquota di tali velivoli recanti la coccarda tricolore.
Non vi sono comunque, al momento, informazioni che la confermino ...

Un traguardo lusinghiero ...
Only six years have passed since the Israeli Air Force (IAF) received the first M-346s and in such a short time it achieved extraordinary milestones with the Italian-made jet like the 50,000 sorties flown.
At the beginning of July 2014 Leonardo delivered the first two M-346 aircraft to the Israeli air base in Hatzerim where they began to replace the old TA-4 fleet.
The jets were part of the contract signed 2 years earlier between the Israeli Ministry of Defense and Alenia Aermacchi (now Leonardo).
It involved the supply of 30 advanced M-346 trainer jets and related ground training systems.
All aircraft are currently in service, the order was completed in 2016.

Last week, the "Enduring Lightning 2" exercise took place.
A joint exercise between the IAF and USAF under the US Central Command (CENTCOM).
The exercise was held for the second time this year, as part of the two Force's exercise program.
In the exercise, the 421st Squadron of the US Air Force, which operates F-35 aircraft, trained alongside the IAF's 140th ("Golden Eagle") Squadron, which operates the "Adir" (F-35I) aircraft.
Additionally, the 122nd ("Nachshon") Squadron participated in the exercise.
The squadron operates "Nachshon" (Gulfstream G550) aircraft and was responsible for conducting aerial air traffic control.

Intanto ... lo "Arrow 2" dimostra la sua efficacia ...
Overnight (Wednesday), an Arrow 2 interception test was successfully completed.
The interception was carried out by combatants from the "Defensive Sword" Battalion in the IAF's Aerial Defense Division.
"It is not an automatic system – the exceptional connection between combatants and missiles is the key to success"
The "Arrow" weapons system is an integral part of the multi-layered air defense division, based on four operational levels of defense: "Iron Dome", "Magic Wand", "Arrow 2", and "Arrow 3".
Last night a successful test of the "Arrow 2" weapons system was completed.
The successful test demonstrated the astounding capability of the IAF's Aerial Defense Division.
The test was conducted from a testing field in central Israel and was led by the IAI (Israeli Aerospace Industry) with the cooperation of The Israel Missile Defense Organization (IMDO), of the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D) in the Israel Ministry of Defense, and with the American Missile Defense Agency (MDA).

Un avvenimento di portata storica ...
Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter jets have landed in Germany for the first time.
The deployment of six aircraft arrived at Nörvenich air base in the west of the country yesterday, and it is expected that the F-16s will participate in the BlueWings2020 and MAGDays exercises due to be held over the next two weeks.
The arrival marks a major milestone in Israeli-German relations.
A joint flypast is planned to commemorate the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics and honour the memory of the millions murdered during the Holocaust.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak this will be the only Israeli overseas deployment this year, making the event all the more significant.

UAE sees Israeli peace deal making it 'easier' to buy F-35 stealth fighter ...

By Garrett Reim - 21 August 2020

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) sees broad benefits flowing from its recent peace deal with Israel, including an easier path to buying the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter, as well as other US-made military products.
Israel and the UAE signed an agreement on 13 August, ending a state of hostility and clearing the way for the normalisation of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
The USA was involved in brokering the deal.
However, while the UAE sees an F-35 deal as viable, Israel does not.
“The historic peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates did not include Israel’s consent to any arms deal whatsoever between the United States and the UAE,” says Israel’s prime minister’s office.
“The peace agreement with the United Arab Emirates does not include any reference to arms sales and the US has made it clear that it will always take strict care to maintain Israel’s qualitative edge.”
Anwar Gargash, UAE minister of state for foreign affairs, says the USA is well aware of its interest in the F-35.
“The UAE has already indicated that it wants this F-35. I think the first time was six years ago. This is something that is on the table. We have legitimate requests that are there. We ought to get them,” he says in an Atlantic Council interview on 20 August (*).
“And now, the whole idea of a state of belligerency or war with Israel will no longer exist. So I think it should be easier.”
Abu Dhabi is not an ally of the USA, but is instead described as a “key partner” by the US State Department.
The country believes its deal with Israel will draw it closer to the USA’s security blanket.
“We expect that because of this three-way agreement and peace treaty with Israel our strategic relationship with the United States, which is our most important relationship, will actually develop much further,” says Gargash.
The UAE is widely believed to be interested in the F-35 to counter Iran – a mutual enemy of Israel.
However, the country denies that the peace deal with Israel is aimed at deterring Tehran.
“It is in our interest that this deal is not targeted against Iran. It’s not because of Iran,” says Gargash.
“Iran perhaps contributed to the general climate in the Arab world that made the deal with Israel more and more possible because of its own regional policy.”
President Donald Trump said that a sale of the F-35 to the UAE is “under review”.
“They have the money and they would like to order quite a few F-35s,” Trump told the White House press corps on 19 August.
“It’s the greatest fighter jet in the world, as you know, by stealth, totally stealth.”
A deal to sell the F-35 to UAE is far from assured, however.
If the country was to obtain the F-35, it would be the first non-democracy, Arab state or Muslim-majority nation – after Turkey’s 2019 ejection from the programme – to fly the stealth fighter.
In addition to Israeli opposition, US lawmakers, and perhaps a future President Joe Biden, might oppose selling the sophisticated technology to the emirate.

Novità da Israele ...
Ieri 11 novembre 2020, il primo velivolo F-35I (“Adir”) sperimentale utilizzato al di fuori degli Stati Uniti è arrivato all’Israeli Air Force Flight Testing Center (FTC) di Tel-Nof AFB .
Questa data, segna l’inizio di una nuova era nello squadrone dello IAF Flight Testing Center (FTC): per la prima volta in 14 anni, un jet da combattimento dotato di capacità sperimentali avanzate è stato preso in carico dallo squadrone.
L’arrivo dell’Adir (F-35I), sviluppato per la sperimentazione, arricchirà notevolmente l’indipendenza della Israeli Air Force nel migliorare la sua flotta di velivoli di quinta generazione.

Il compleanno degli "Scorpioni" ...
Over the years, the 105th ("Scorpion") Squadron has taken part in some of Israel's most important and decisive moments.
In honor of its 70th anniversary, we looked back at the squadron's remarkable history
The 105th ("Scorpion") Squadron, which currently operates the "Barak" (F-16C/D) fighter jet, began its journey in August 1950 as an advanced training department within the 101st ("First Fighter") Squadron and became independent just a few months later.
Over its many years of operational activity, the squadron took part in Israel's wars, performed countless operations, and largely contributed to Israel's national security.

Israel and the United States have begun developing the Arrow-4 missile defense system that includes next-generation interceptors and will replace the Arrow-2 over the next decades, according to a statement from Israel’s Defense Ministry.
“The Arrow weapon system, which was one of the first in the world to intercept ballistic missiles, will be upgraded with a significant capability, produced by Israel Aerospace Industries, in the form of the Arrow-4 interceptor. The interceptor will be the most advanced of its kind in the world and will provide a new layer of defense to the State of Israel and its citizens,” said Jacob Galifat, general manager IAI’s MLM Division.

The Israel Air Force has chosen Lockheed Martin’s CH-53K as its new transport helicopter, according to an announcement made by the Defense Ministry on Thursday.
The new helicopter will replace the CH-53 Yas’ur helicopters which have been serving the Air Force since the late 1960s.
After a delay lasting several years, and as the current fleet became increasingly outdated, Defense Minister Benny Gantz accepted the recommendations of IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi, Air Force commander Amikam Norkin, and the Director-General of the Defense Ministry, Amir Eshel, choosing this helicopter as the one which will lead IDF missions over the coming decades.

Israel’s Ministry of Defence (IMOD) has signed a Letter of Acceptance covering the purchase of two Boeing KC-46 tanker/transports, becoming the type's second export customer after Japan.
The announcement follows recent parliamentary approval for the acquisition of a number of new aircraft for the Israeli Air Force (IAF).
In the same announcement, the IMOD confirmed that it is now pursuing the purchase of further Lockheed Martin F-35I Adir fighters - in addition to the 50 it has currently ordered - to equip a third squadron ...
There was no mention of the Boeing F-15EX fighter, in which Israel is also believed to have an interest.

"Oron" ...
The 122nd ("Nachshon") Squadron, known as the IAF's ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) squadron, operates two "Nachshon" aircraft models: "Shavit" (Gulfstream G500) and "Eitam" (Gulfstream G550).
Today, the squadron received the newest member of the Nachshon family: the "Oron".
"The 'Oron' is yet another manifestation of the IAF's increasing effectiveness", says IAF Commander, Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin.
"The aircraft adds another layer to the IAF's current operational and strategic capabilities, which allow for continued air superiority in the Middle East and an ability to defend Israel's skies and ensure its security".
"The aircraft combines several capabilities including aerial imaging, control and radar, and maritime intelligence gathering for the Navy", explains Maj. I, Deputy Commander of the 122nd Squadron.
"The majority of these capabilities already exist in our squadron and the 'Maof Rahav' unit, however, with the new aircraft, we managed to condense them all onto a single flight platform".

Competizione interna per stabilire quale sia il miglior squadrone ...
Which is the best fighter squadron in the IAF?
The number of answers to that question is equal to the number of fighter squadrons.
Nevertheless, each year, the squadrons have the opportunity to prove their capabilities in the "Champions League" tournament that begins with the "Skewer" competition
The "Skewer" competition - there isn't a single fighter squadron unfamiliar with the event.
As part of the IAF's "Champions League", all of its fighter squadrons participate in a head-to-head competition to decide which is number one.

Due aviocisterne Boeing KC-46A per Israele ... e non solo ...
Israel’s Defense Ministry has agreed to purchase two Boeing KC-46A tankers and 12 Lockheed Martin CH-53K helicopters in a long-expected deal.
“These procurement agreements are significant milestones in the [Israel Defense Forces’] buildup processes. We continue to strengthen our capabilities and to change and adapt our Air Force to face future challenges both near and far,” Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said when then Dec. 30 agreement was signed.
The KC-46 deal is worth about $1.1 billion, and the helicopter deal is worth another $2 billion.
The agreement includes an option for six more helicopters, the ministry said, adding that the first will arrive by 2026.
It’s unclear when the KC-46s will arrive, and the ministry did not provide a timeline.

Un "muro laser" proteggerà Israele ...
Israel will surround itself with a defensive “laser wall,” with new missile interception technology to be ready within a year, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced in a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
The IDF will begin using the laser interception system in the next year, first experimentally and later operationally, starting in the South.
“This will allow us, in the medium- to long-term, to surround Israel with a laser wall that will defend us from missiles, rockets, UAVs and other threats that will essentially take away the strongest card our enemies have against us,” Bennett said.
