Naravno zbog oštećenja aerodroma. Izrael nema veliku dubinu teritorija i svakako im je potreban u slučaju da dođe do oštećenja piste. Vjerojatno strah od Irana.

Opet F-35B mora da poleti sa neke piste ili parčeta pravog puta/ulice kao i svaki drugi avion da bi mogao da ponese svo naoružanje za CAS ulogu jer ne vidim drugog razloga da kupuju B verziju. A da vertikalno sleti onako debeo i sa pokojim UBS ako ga nije odbacio veoma teško. Više im se isplati avion poput Gripen NG da poleti i sleti na parče ulice i da ga tu i popune sa gorivom i novim UBS.

Radije bih uzeo 100 Gripena nego 12 ili 24 F-35, ovde je ipak kvantitet u preimućstvu.

Zaboravljas jednu bitnu stavku, a to je da Gripen nije americki, nego svedski, a Izrael dobija pare od amera za naoruzanje

Samo sto F-35B treba dosta manje piste nego Gripen NG. A Gripen NG tesko da kosta 4 do 8 puta manje od F-35B.

I nije stelt, pa ako ne leti nisko iznad Izreala ima S-400 u Siriji da ga nanisani bez mnogo muke

Luke F-35 Competes for First Time in Load Crew Competition

12/17/2015 - LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Arizona -- A Luke Air Force Base F-35 Lightning II crew competed today for the first time in a load crew competition here against legacy F-16 Fighting Falcon crews.
Quarterly load crew competitions showcase the combat readiness and effectiveness of load crew teams to safely and properly arm an aircraft within time constraints to meet mission challenges.
Three-man crews from the 61st Aircraft Maintenance Unit, 309th AMU, 310th AMU, and the 425th AMU went head to head to earn the fourth quarter win.
The competition provided an opportunity for the crews to demonstrate their ammo-loading skills on both the F-35 and F-16.

"The weapons load competition is a healthy rivalry amongst the aircraft maintenance units to seek out the best of the best within the AMUs," said Master Sgt. James Byers, 61st AMU F-35 weapons section chief.

For the 61st AMU team, loading the F-35 is a skill they have been developing since the arrival of the jet, but their skills had not yet been tested against F-16 crews, many of whom have been working on their airframes for years.

"Today, the F-35 load team raised the ante by showing off their skills," Byers said. "It shows how we, as an Air Force, can evolve from the legacy F-16 program to the advanced F-35 program without missing a beat."

The competition proved that both airframes at Luke, the F-35 and F-16, have capable crewmembers.

"Every day I watch the F-35 program moving further and further ahead," Byers said. "Being featured in this competition is one more step forward to show the community the F-35 is a technological marvel."

Involvement in this contest was significant for the F-35 program at Luke.

"It was great to see the F-35 included in a Luke AFB weapons load competition for the first time," said Lt. Col. Mike Gette, 61st Fighter Squadron commander. "The 61st AMU has put in a lot of hard work and overcome many obstacles to get to this point, and it was awesome to see them in action."

The winning teams from each of the previous quarters will compete on January 22.
The winning crew will represent Luke and take on the load crew team from the 49th Maintenance Group at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Only one team can take the title and be crowned champions as Weapons Load Crew of the year.
The final competition will be held January 29, 2016 against Holloman. The hard work of the F-35 weapons load crews will be seen during their first weapons drop scheduled to occur early 2016.

"We hope to be dropping weapons here at the Barry M. Goldwater Range a few months from now," Gette said. "Having the F-35 in this competition means we are getting close to achieving that goal. It is also a critical milestone as we help push the F-35 toward Air Force initial operational capability and train pilots for the first operational squadron."

BAE Systems siri kapacitete u Engleskoj gde se proizvodi zadnju deo trupa



Citat:According to BAE Systems, when the newly expanded facility is complete in January 2017 it will be capable of manufacturing 160 aircraft sets per year (an increase of around 250% from current levels).

Citat:BAE Systems, which with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman is a primary partner in the F-35 programme, is embarking upon a 4,500m² expansion of Samlesbury following the UK government's recent announcement that it is to commit to the country's full 138-aircraft programme-of-record, while fast-tracking initial deliveries to have the first 24 aircraft available for operations on the new Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales aircraft carriers by 2023 (plus a further 18 for training).

The planned expansion will provide more space for the aircraft tail assembly lines, test facilities, and facilities to marry up the two halves of each rear fuselage, the company said. It will also see redevelopment of around 1,500m² of existing floor space to provide more capacity, including bigger areas for the paint shop and sub-assembly activity
