Israel is set to receive the world’s most advanced fighter jet, F-35,  amid a celebration that will be held in the United States and which will be attended by Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

The F-35 plane is capable of evading radar signals and operates in all weathers.

The groundbreaking jet will take part in exercises in the United States, then the Israeli Air Force will install high-tech Israeli systems onto it, before it will be eventually be brought to Israel’s Nevatim base in mid-December.

This plane is the first in a series of its kind which the Israeli Air Force will receive over the coming years.
