As always to take with a whole wheelbarrow of salt, but whorth some follow-up next year:
Israel has signed a Letter Of Request for 25 F-35s to be delivered in 2014. A formal contract should be signed in 2010.
(If all goes well, of course)
Right now the Israeli OOB includes the
F-22 as of 2018 as unit #328.
In my opinion it would be a safe bet to replace this unit with a version of the F-35 with radio code 91 starting 2015-2016,
as the F-22 doesn't have much export opportunities as things stand now.
Israeli OOB Update: F-35 JSF?
Hybrid Mode
