(Al Monitor) Hanan Greenberg - According to Steve O'Bryan, Lockheed Martin's vice president for F-35 business development, 20 F-35 fighter planes will be handed over to Israeli air force pilots at Eglin Air Force Base in south Florida in the second half of 2016. Israeli airmen will train in the U.S. and will return to Israel at the beginning of 2017. The transaction will cost approximately $2.7 billion. Due to the different shape of the Stealth, it will be "parked" in custom-designed underground shelters different from those that currently house fighter planes. IDF top brass feel that the Stealth is advantageous not only for deterrence purposes. Many believe the reason for acquisition of Stealths is to achieve real air superiority. Quite a few defense industries in Israel are benefiting from the development of the new fighter plane, since they are involved in production of some of its components. Israel Aerospace Industries is in charge of producing wing-parts; Elbit - helmet-mounted display systems and airframe parts. 2012-07-06 00:00:00Full Article
