US quickly updated Israeli F-35s after the Hamas attack

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/15/2023 - 12:00 in Military, War Zones

The United States accelerated capacity updates for Israel's F-35I Adir fighters after the Hamas attack on October 7, the main officer in charge of the Joint Strike Fighter program said this week.

Lieutenant General Michael Schmidt, executive officer of the F-35 program, refused to identify to reporters the capabilities sent to Israel in the more than two months after the attack, noting that the program strives to keep all nations flying the jet supplied with spare parts and capabilities.

But speaking to reporters after a hearing before the House Air and Land Tactical Forces Subcommittee, Schmidt confirmed that the improvements made to Israel occurred after the deadly Hamas attack that killed at least 1,200 people. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that more than 18,000 people died as a result of subsequent Israeli air and ground attacks in the Gaza Strip.

Bill LaPlante, U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Support, said at the hearing that the F-35 program was recently able to quickly send updated mission data files to a country in a week or a week and a half. Schmidt confirmed after the hearing that LaPlante was referring to Israel.

The mission data files are a "brich", as LaPlante described them, containing the jet's memory about the threats it can encounter in an operation and other information necessary for combat.

The F-35 program “is not yet where it should be in these mission data files,” LaPlante said. But the recent rapid update of these files is a good sign, he added, and the lessons learned from it will be used throughout the program.

LaPlante said in written comments that Israel has 35 of its 39 F-35s operating and carrying out missions, with the help of an increase in support support to maximize the readiness of the country's aircraft.

The chairman of the subcommittee, Rep. Rob Wittman, a Republican from Virginia, said at Tuesday's hearing that the F-35 Joint Program Office "moved at a dizzying speed" to support Israel, accelerating the weapon capabilities of its jets and increasing the flow of spare parts.

Schmidt told lawmakers that Israel's F-35s had an "absolutely remarkable" performance in the war to eliminate Hamas, with high rates of aircraft capable of carrying out their missions.

"We added some capabilities to this plane in a very short period of time," he said. "Our team is doing everything they can to keep moving forward with the product."

Israeli Air Force F-35I Adir Fighter Intercepted Houthi Cruise Missile

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) successfully intercepted a Houthi cruise missile aimed at Israel on October 31. This extraordinary feat was accomplished through a close and effective cooperation between an IAF special mission aircraft and ground-based radars, which ultimately led to the F-35I Adir fighter aircraft neutralizing the threat. The Houthi rebels in Yemen launched a barrage of missiles,…

And Ukraine doesn’t even get an F-16, even though it’s fighting a hellish war. That’s so pathetic!

Lockheed Martin completes assembly of the first F-35A Lightning II for Belgium

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/11/2023 - 14:50in Military

Lockheed Martin announced the completion of the final assembly of Belgium's first F-35A Lightning II multifunctional combat aircraft. The announcement, made on November 10, is a significant milestone in the F-35 program for Belgium, a new customer in the expanding global network of F-35 operators.

The aircraft, designated AY-01, is currently in the process of painting application, ground testing and is scheduled for a technical flight. According to Lockheed Martin's schedule, an official presentation of the completed aircraft is scheduled for the end of this year. Belgium, through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) procedure, ordered 34 F-35A Lightning II jets to upgrade its military aviation capabilities.

Initially, these state-of-the-art aircraft will be stationed in the United States and should be relocated to Florennes Air Base in Belgium in 2025. In addition, Belgium plans to operate the F-35A from two bases, with the second base being Kleine-Brogel, which is expected to be operational in 2027.

Belgium's decision in 2018 to opt for the F-35A Lightning II was significantly influenced by the need for cooperation with allies, including the Netherlands, to jointly protect the airspace over the Benelux countries. The Belgian Air Force currently operates Lockheed Martin F-16AM/BM Fighting Falcons, which have been widely used for local and allied missions.

Lockheed Martin has so far delivered almost 1,000 F-35 Lightning II fighters in various versions, accumulating about 750,000 flight hours. The focus now also includes Israel, whose F-35I Adir jets are being actively used in operational combat.

This development not only represents a major update for Belgium's military aviation, but also reinforces the growing global network of F-35 users. With this cutting-edge technology, Belgium should improve its defense capabilities and maintain strong cooperation ties with its NATO allies.
