The F-35i, a variant customized for Israel’s strategic needs, enhances the IAF’s capabilities with unmatched stealth, sensor fusion, and precision-strike technology. The Adir fleet has been pivotal in executing high-stakes defensive and offensive operations across multiple fronts, maintaining Israel’s qualitative military edge.
