Le 23 avril, l'armée de l'air israélienne a réceptionné 3 Lockheed Martin F-35I « Adir » sur la base aérienne de Nevatim. Ils rejoignent les deux premiers F-35I reçu le 12 décembre 2016.

« L'intégration de 3 avions supplémentaires représente une nouvelle étape dans le renforcement des capacités de l'armée de l'air israélienne », a déclaré le Brigadier Général Eyal Grinboim, commandant de la base aérienne de Nevatim.

Les « Adir » appartiennent à l'escadron Golden Eagle (ou Aigle Royal). La livraison de 3 F-35I supplémentaires lui permettent de se rapprocher de son objectif final : atteindre la capacité opérationnelle initiale fin 2017.

Dans cet objectif, depuis décembre 2016, les F-35I ont effectué une douzaine d'heures de vols afin d'entraîner les pilotes et de les familiariser avec les capacités et technologies des aéronefs.

L'armée israélienne devrait réceptionner 3 « Adir » supplémentaires au cours de l'année, pour un contrat portant au total sur 50 F-35I de Lockheed Martin.

First flight Israeli Air Force AW119M

The first AW119M Koala helicopter for the Heyl Ha'Avir (IAF, Israeli Air Force) made its first flight at its new homebase Hatzerim Air Base (Israel) on 26 May 2024.

The Koala, a MkII model, carried full Israeli markings and serial number 301. It still carried test registration N183SH (c/n 15001). It is not known yet when the training helicopter will be formally handed over.

In Israeli service, the helicopter is named Ofer and will be operated by the Flight Training School (FTS) Vihiys Latisah, part of the IAF Flight Academy at Hatzerim Air Base, where it will replace the Bell OH-58B Saifan helicopters.

In December 2019, Leonardo Helicopters received a USD 38 million Foreign Military Sale (FMS) contract for the first seven helicopters. In September 2020, five more AW119Ms were ordered under a reciprocal agreement with Italy.

However, it took untill April 2022 when Leonardo Helicopters received a USD 29 million modification contract from the US Army Contracting Command for additional work on the AW119M Koala contract for Israel.
