Israel to double attack range of F-35 Stealth fighter

The REAL question is:
Will Israel be able to complete these modifications and take delivery of the aircraft before 0bama's muzzie bros nuke them?

My guess Iran will object, the US being obligated to aid them in securing their nuclear facilities.

Hinting that the external fuel tanks would not benefit from the F-35's stealth capabilities, the sources said, "After you own the air space, you won’t have to worry about stealth. So then you can add external tanks because you won’t be worried about being detected.”

A lot of the time, it may take a while to get from your air base to where the enemy has his radars. When you get close to enemy lines, you drop the external tanks.

I almost like how most have been propagandized to believe the F-35 is such a dog. That will be helpful on its debut day of fire when it will be "misunderestimated" as Dubya might say.

As a purpose-built strike fighter, it likely has no equal on the planet...and that's before the Israelis have had a chance to mess with it.

It features a HUGE engine, LOTS of internal space, impressive combat radius, very POWERFUL integrated computing systems and a stealthy, and rather sexy I think, body built for business and the pleasure of its pilots and maintainers!

What's not to like?

Adding to that its mission flexibility of being able to load it up internally or externally and you have a very capable fighting machine that makes mission planners happy, too.

No wonder the propagandists who loathe the military and do their best to undermine our forces hate it so much.

Their only way to stop it has been to make it expensive and unpopular via the bureaucrazy bureaucracy and propaganda techniques they've become infamous at using.

Unfortunately, that has worked well enough on the F-35 just as it has on all the rest of our military, which a quick inventory of assets and opinion will confirm.

“It’s short-sighted to expect that all the smart people working here on conformal fuel tanks will not manage to make them stealthy," an IAF officer said.

"Short-sighted" - a Hebrew word meaning "pretty f'ing stupid."
