IDF and US hold F-35 drill, delayed by virus, over southern Israel


(Worthy News) – The Israeli and American militaries conducted a joint exercise with their F-35 stealth fighter jets over southern Israel on Sunday, simulating in-air combat and attacks from the ground, following a delay needed to sort out how to hold such a drill during the coronavirus pandemic.

The drill — dubbed Enduring Lightning — was one of the Israel Defense Forces’ first international exercises for the F-35 fighter jet, which was declared operational in late 2017.

“In the exercise, which was held in southern Israel, the Israeli and American fifth-generation, advanced F-35 fighter jets simulated scenarios in which they had to deal with both aerial threats and varying strategic threats from the ground,” the IDF said, apparently referring to advanced air defense systems, like the Russian-made S-300 and S-400.
