Now it makes sense !
The Left and the Enemedia are all bent out of shape and screaming to high heaven because the U.S. is selling a number of F-35 fighter jets to the Arabs as part of the recent Middle East peace agreement.
Could it be that this secret brand new fighter jet revealed in the article above has made all others "obsolete" in comparison?
Looks like Trump knew exactly what he was doing in the sale.
I just love the Art of the Deal !

According to Defense News, the Air Force developed the new fighter in about a yearJust like the heyday of modern flight when Kelly Johnson could actually do his magic.

I wonder if these New Fighters are already in Squadron Service. Something like the F-117 was during the early 90’s when it was first used to penetrate Iraqi airspace and attack targets.
The Iraqi’s got one hell of a surprise.

IIRC, it was first used in the Noriega removal job in Panama.

I fully expected the next ‘new’ plane to be a full sized UAV flown by Gen Z kids

No one knows what this plane is: manned or drone; test bed or prototype. Or whats it cost by unknown manufacture.

The Iraqis got one hell of a surprise.Any intelligence service paying attention to Panama in 1989 would not have been surprised.

We’ll know the answer to that if the F-35 orders get severely curtailed in the next few years. But the F-35 does have other capabilities that will keep it relavent in any combat theatre for many years to come. Also, get ready to find out about more secret programs along these lines to be made public in the next few years.
