Quote

Ieri 11 novembre 2020, il primo velivolo F-35I (“Adir”) sperimentale utilizzato al di fuori degli Stati Uniti è arrivato all’Israeli Air Force Flight Testing Center (FTC) di Tel-Nof AFB . 
Questa data, segna l’inizio di una nuova era nello squadrone dello IAF Flight Testing Center (FTC): per la prima volta in 14 anni, un  jet da combattimento dotato di capacità sperimentali avanzate è stato preso in carico dallo squadrone.
L’arrivo dell’Adir (F-35I), sviluppato per la sperimentazione, arricchirà notevolmente l’indipendenza della Israeli Air Force nel migliorare la sua flotta di velivoli di quinta generazione.

Il compleanno degli "Scorpioni" ...

Over the years, the 105th ("Scorpion") Squadron has taken part in some of Israel's most important and decisive moments. 
In honor of its 70th anniversary, we looked back at the squadron's remarkable history
The 105th ("Scorpion") Squadron, which currently operates the "Barak" (F-16C/D) fighter jet, began its journey in August 1950 as an advanced training department within the 101st ("First Fighter") Squadron and became independent just a few months later. 
Over its many years of operational activity, the squadron took part in Israel's wars, performed countless operations, and largely contributed to Israel's national security.

"Oron" ...

Quote

The 122nd ("Nachshon") Squadron, known as the IAF's ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) squadron, operates two "Nachshon" aircraft models: "Shavit" (Gulfstream G500) and "Eitam" (Gulfstream G550). 
Today, the squadron received the newest member of the Nachshon family: the "Oron". 
"The 'Oron' is yet another manifestation of the IAF's increasing effectiveness", says IAF Commander, Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin. 
"The aircraft adds another layer to the IAF's current operational and strategic capabilities, which allow for continued air superiority in the Middle East and an ability to defend Israel's skies and ensure its security".
"The aircraft combines several capabilities including aerial imaging, control and radar, and maritime intelligence gathering for the Navy", explains Maj. I, Deputy Commander of the 122nd Squadron. 
"The majority of these capabilities already exist in our squadron and the 'Maof Rahav' unit, however, with the new aircraft, we managed to condense them all onto a single flight platform".

Competizione interna per stabilire quale sia il miglior squadrone ...

Quote

Which is the best fighter squadron in the IAF? 
The number of answers to that question is equal to the number of fighter squadrons. 
Nevertheless, each year, the squadrons have the opportunity to prove their capabilities in the "Champions League" tournament that begins with the "Skewer" competition
The "Skewer" competition - there isn't a single fighter squadron unfamiliar with the event. 
As part of the IAF's "Champions League", all of its fighter squadrons participate in a head-to-head competition to decide which is number one.

Un "muro laser" proteggerà Israele ... 

Cita

Israel will surround itself with a defensive “laser wall,” with new missile interception technology to be ready within a year, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced in a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
The IDF will begin using the laser interception system in the next year, first experimentally and later operationally, starting in the South.
“This will allow us, in the medium- to long-term, to surround Israel with a laser wall that will defend us from missiles, rockets, UAVs and other threats that will essentially take away the strongest card our enemies have against us,” Bennett said.

The second one, which was flying in from the East, was identified at 1:46 a.m. and downed at 2:16 a.m.

Le Forze Aeree di Israele si addestrano ad attaccare obiettivi nucleari in Iran ...

Cita

Dans un contexte de tensions géopolitiques internationales, Israël montre les muscles. 
Mardi 31 mai, la force aérienne israélienne pratiquait un exercice à grande échelle en Méditerranée, lors d'un exercice mené sur une distance totale d’environ 10 000 kilomètres. 
Ce chiffre correspond à une probable accumulation de trajectoires, certaines manoeuvres se déroulant au-dessus d’Israël et de Chypre. 
L’objectif : expérimenter et démontrer ses capacités de frappe de l'armée sur de potentiels sites de production nucléaire iraniens. 
À cette fin, une centaine d’aéronefs étaient mobilisés, menant des frappes de traitement simulées, tout en testant les aptitudes de vol et du ravitaillement des appareils (refuelling en anglais, transfert du carburant d’un tanker à un avion). 
Quelques navires et des sous-marins de la marine auraient participé à l’exercice.
