Yesterday I blogged about about Iran’s plan to buy new fighter jets from China and today it’s interesting to find that the USA is planning to sell F-35 Warplanes to Israel. What I find intriguing is the fact that Israel has an advanced technology called Lavi which is being used in their J-10 fighter jets and wonder why they chose F-35 instead.
It’s the Pentagon that will supply the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter to Israel in early 2012. Israel is one of the 8 nations that has partnered with the USA to manufacture those radar-evading jets.
“This plane can fly into downtown Tehran without anyone even knowing about it since it can’t be detected on radar,” the conservative daily quoted a defense official as saying.
