Israel Helped the U.S. Solve Scores of F-35 Glitches


(Algemeiner) Yoram Ettinger - Israel is a cost-effective laboratory for the U.S. defense and aerospace industries and armed forces. In 2016, Israel became the first country to use the highly-computerized F-35 operationally. Israel soon became successful in solving most of the operational and maintenance glitches which had caused concern among prospective buyers. Scores of Israeli solutions to F-35 glitches in data gathering and processing, electronic warfare, and firing control accuracy have been shared with U.S manufacturer Lockheed-Martin and the U.S. Air Force. The enhanced performance of the F-35 demonstrates Israel's role as an important source of modernization, reduction of unit cost, and expanding job creation in the U.S. Israel shares with the U.S. more intelligence than many countries, and Israel's battle experience has been shared with the U.S., saving American lives.
