@Aviation_Intel@RC135V A country doesn’t enrich uranium to 60% purity (which has no civilian purpose) and build one of the world’s most secretive and fortified nuclear facilities at the cost of billions of dollars unless it planned on secretive, non-civilian nuclear activity.
@IsraelWarRoom No country outside of the United States has done more to enhance the F-35 than Israel.
Its fucking heartbreaking that a potential sale to Turkey could force Israel into the unwanted role of world leader in defending against hostile F-35s.
@mahmoudkhalel You came to America to make waves.
Congratulations, you succeeded.
But the very waves you created are now carrying you out to sea.
Stop lecturing this country on what it must change.
Go find a place that actually suits your ideology.
@BarakRavid The American negotiating team is being thoroughly outmaneuvered by the Iranian side.
The Iranians aren’t seriously expecting or even wanting to impose tolls.
They are simply manufacturing a powerful imaginary bargaining chip to extract maximum value.
Wake up, America.
Allowing Turkey to rejoin the F-35 program would be a strategic catastrophe.
Ankara has repeatedly demonstrated open hostility toward several existing F-35 operators, most notably Greece and, at times, Israel. Once a NATO ally possesses the aircraft while actively threatening others in the program, partner nations would be forced to invest heavily in countermeasures and tactics specifically designed to defeat the F-35—capabilities they would otherwise never need to develop against a friendly operator. The result would be a profound erosion of the platform’s strategic value and a self-inflicted security nightmare for the entire program.
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”
Decades of relentless planning, grueling training, and uncompromising excellence,
forged by pilots held to the highest standards of any Air Force
created the perfect collision of preparation and opportunity.
transforming the improbable into the truly miraculous.
@REMBABE1@AmitSegal If the President of Syria orders his jihadist forces to cross the border into a neighboring sovereign country and they start chopping heads……
That is war.
There is no diplomatic language or legal technicality that can tiptoe around that reality.
@theFinnishSisu@MarioNawfal Yep.
Those Israeli extended-range fuel tank modifications they wouldn’t stop complaining about…..
Lockheed Martin and the Pentagon were so impressed by the results that they’re now evaluating them for potential integration into the F-35 Block 4 upgrade package.
@MarioNawfal Complete bullshit.
Israel is the only country in the world with special U.S. approval to legally modify the F-35. This is enabled through a unique customization arrangement under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.
