Why am I seeing videos and MS articles saying F35is left Israel and flew around Iran without needed air refueling. All the research I've done it's impossible. I was just a grunt. Need your help, lol
A4 Skyhawk - we bolted on an exaust pipe extention to reduce the thermal signiture and act as a sacrificial part if hit by heat seeking air to air missiles. This simple improvisation saved many pilots.
F-4E Kurnass - IAI developed an upgrade to the Kurnass-2000, the most capable Phantom to fly. We had over 2 operational squadrons.
F-15C/D Baz - Modified and upgraded beyond recognition.
Kfir was effectivly a beefed up Mirrage with a J-79 bolted on
F-16i - Viper on sterroids
F-15i - Can't really comment
Most of thimgs you said are also in us f35 not unieq to israle , Contact me if you wnat real unieq knowlge ,would be happy
Could you say "essentially" more?
Young man everyone knows that the f-35 is nowhere near the capabilities of the F-22 and I am aware that Israel has placed their own upgrades on the f-35 it still doesn't touch the F-22 that's why the United States will not give it to any of their allies including their absolute closest Ally which is Israel
Shalom from Malaysia and that's all I'm permitted to say

Malaysia is a great country. Very soon Malaysia people would recognize the greatness of Israel. You will make peace with Israel and benefit of the wisdom and generosity of Israel.

Israel has a long history of being the first country to get kills in American equipment. This was true with the F-15, whose first kill was not a missile kill but a gun kill. Israelis like their guns. It is widely believed that the first air vector of an f-35 was an f-35i taking down Houthi cruise missiles and drones. The F-35I is lightly currently operating over Lebanon and possibly Southern Syria taking on Hezbollah in an environment where they have to deal with Syria and tracking by Russia. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders have been killed in their apartments in Syria and Lebanon with no substantial damage or casualties in adjoining apartments. That suggests a short-range weapon with a small warhead, as a long-range weapon would be carrying fuel and set fire to the apartment. Israel might be using a selfie drone, but I think it's more likely that it's been dropping some weapon often F-35i. Likewise, Israel has been taking out Hezbollah missile launchers in Lebanon, often before they can fire. It helps to have a system like this overhead. And finally, Israel has been taking out Iranian and Hezbollah drones and missiles in the north.
"Israel has a long history of being the first country to get kills in American equipment" They have had over 35K "kills" with "American Equipment" in the last hundred days
Moshe Melnik used the Israeli Python 3 missile, not a cannon.

Let's not forget Israel is the only country to given permission to rewrite some of the codes that make the plane operable. They perform updates as needed without overlooking their shoulder. The code allows the plane to work tailor made to Israels specifications.
…and if you don’t know, Israeli pilots are the best in the world. More training and experience than anyone. Certain parts of the world and for certain missions, Israeli pilots train and consult American pilots and instruct American pilots on flying American planes.
They took out the kill switch
Technically what Israel did was layer their own systems on top of the old digital architecture.
No ya wrong. We takeout all US technology n replace it with ours. And dats all imma say 🤫
Wrong, UK also.
Only Isreal has been given permission to modify the software for the F35.

There were a few years during the 50’s and late 40’s that America help Israel with technical equipment that was estimated at 50 million dollars (which is nothing at a county scale)
At 2019 the congress published a document that says that the American aid to Israel overall was 142 billion dollars…

When your stock F-35A isn't just enough, specs-wise...you upgrade it even more in your ways!
When your stock F-35A is not just enough, you looking for better options. Or pay Uncle Sam for updates.
Noone has no rights to modify or upgrade this planes, other than the Lockheed Martin and PW (the engine maker)

Same with their F-15I and F-16I. F-15I more capable than the F-15E. F-16I with conformal fuel tanks. I used to work with the pilot's who delivered some of the F-15Is.
Wrong. The F-16E/F Block 60 as well as the F-16V Block 72 are much more advanced than the F-16I.
@@traviswalker8933You're probably correct however I was talking about as originally delivered "I" models from years ago.
@@my-yt-inputs2580 those weren't any better than normal F-16As that had been in service with the USAF. Infact they were actually intended to be delivered to Iran when the revolution stopped the deliveries from taking place.
@@ARSAMES007 Iran never ordered the F15. They evaluated the F14 and F15 in 1975 and chose the F14. However, Iran did order the F16 to replace its F-5s. The F16 deal was cancelled by the Reagan administration in the US after the attack on the US embassy in Iran.
@@ARSAMES007 majority of those F16s went to Israel and the rest were sold to Pakistan. Also, the Shah himself chose the F14 over F15 after observing the Iranian pilots' trials in the US and calling it a better fighter for Iran's needs so I don't believe this notion that Iran had intentions to purchase the F15. They had some plans to purchase the F18 to replace the F-4 Phantoms but that deal also fell through after the revolution. I don't have evidence that Iran cancelled the deal for the fighter jets. They needed them in order to fend off Iraq. What I have as evidence of the arms deals being cancelled from the US side is the last of the 80 F14s ordered by Iran being held by the US from being shipped when the revolution happened.
IDF has the best air force in the world, especially their pilots

Hey thanks!
do a deep dive into the Lavi fighter jet and you will understand why the US can afford Israel to only upgrade jets and not compete in the jet market.
The ability to make your enemy deff, dumb, and blind; is where this platform shines.
The IDF has a track record of taking US weapon systems and making them even better.
The IDF has a track record of stealing US systems and making them crap.
Also French, Soviet, and British. Pretty much anything they buy or capture in quantity, Israel improves.
@@ronmaximilian6953 Sud Aviation Vautaur - Israel was the only forign airforce to operate the medium jet bomber, with a good operational reckord. The Kfir is a beefed up Mirage-5 converted to multirole. The British Centurion tank got a new larger barrle to great effect.

Isrsle dint buy frech aircarfts
But the lore is after France stopped selling to , we stole thire desigian, and made it our own
@RUclips Thank you You Tube nanny-state for deleting my informative comment. Care to share why ? What "community rules" did it break ? Did I use a hurty word ?
Yes. My Israel has the RIGHT to exist. God bless Israel.
We probably going to see what this plane is really about in a couple days maybe hours
Awesome aircraft. Israel has a history of beefing up equipment. It's what they did in the 6 day war
Israel also created the regular f35 helmet. Israel actually uses this technology before in f16, f15 and now in merkava tanks.
In a similar rationale...if the Philippines is going to settle for 2nd hand F-16s...might as well go for the Israeli offer of F-16C block 40s. ...
Yes, the Philippine's could upgrade old US weapons like Ukraine has. You can buy used older versions cheap, and then upgrade to make them better. Ukraine, Turkey, Thailand have all done this with US systems.
Israel is like a nation of US Marines. They react violently to being attacked.

It’s called survival!
@@barryklarman2720 Its called DEFENCE and survival.
According to Amnesty International, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice and most of the planet, it's called GENOCIDE.

May God be with them as they take down their enemy’s!May the Angels of the sky be at their backs and on their wing when they go into battle.
The F-16I & F-15I have have been tweaked pretty heavily over the years.
The friend of mine served a technician in IDF air force, he told me , American pilots weren't able to fly F16 after this modification, so different it became 😂

Long live Israel!
Raphael is the name of one of Israel”# largest defense manufacturers.

"the indifferent things they ve bolted on and strapped on like a lego set " love that line .
Love the Adir
Actually, long time ago, Israel had plans to build its own fighter jet, which probably, would have become pretty much the best fighter jet in the world (The Lavi) but they were pressured by the US to abandon it, I guess they didn't want the competition.
So, make no mistake - Israel is a VERY capable nation, even with all its relative disadvantages. Especially when pushed to the edge.
ironic that Chinese J10 their own light mobile fighter is heavily based on the levi
May GOD keep Israel safe.

Should Israel have that much power? Yes. Yes. Yes!!!
With great power comes great responsibility. Our IDF doctrine, mode of operation, avoidance of collateral when possible, officers and commanders all feel the weight of such responsibility.

Great content. Has won a subscriber
The Houthis experienced Israeli might 1800km away via the Adir
actually no, it was F15I's that blew up hudaydah port in July. (they did have F35I's surveying and defending the formation and the air tanker though)
they used F35I's when they blew up Houthi oil facilities two weeks ago.
the F35 platform does not have the same bombing carrying capability as the F15 platform, F15 can carry a lot more weight which means more bombs or bigger bombs
You forget write about the pilot helmet that can focus on enemy jet or enemy vehichle just from look on it, and the all other jets in the fleet focus on him also
Israel was very keen on using their own headgear. 🙂

Great video, Max! Just a tiny correction: "Adir" means "great" or "mighty" in Hebrew, not "strong."
USA is the backbone of everything, it's crazy how advanced it is compared to any other country.
Israel embraced the US culture long time ago, and it paid off immensely, and the world is jealous of their strong relationship.

@@MrIrrepressible
It's the same God. Just different languages/names. Proof is that they are all the same God of Abraham.
@cjheaford no, the God of Islam is called Lah. Al = god, Lah = the name. A transliteration is the God Lah. The God of Islam is not the God of the Jews. The God of Islam hates Jews thats why the koran is so anti semitic. The God of Islam says the sun sets in a pool of water. The God of bible knows how his creations work, but allah says a lot of stupid things in the koran. For example, allah says the sky is blue because of blue mountains in heaven. Allah also says in in islamic writings that mountains were PLACED on earth to keep the earth steady and also that the earth is carried on the back of whale called Nun.
Wow , an F-35 with a STRAPON!
Someone is going to get a royal shafting.
Good job ! Intersting analysis.
Great video!! - For me, it seems similar to what the Swedish Air Force has done with the Gripen models, the Erieye and the new Globaleye CAEW aircraft. The networked ground system known as DCIS along with the BAS 90 doctrine but on a budget... As a suggestion it would make a great video.
Gripen’s an awesome multirole fighter. The Swedes (wisely!) design pretty much all of their kit with Russia in mind as their primary adversary.
Israel were to develop their own fighter jet called Lavi but then US told them to buy from the US instead
All of the featured "improvements" sound pretty standard for advanced modern fighters like the Rafael and Gripen so I assume the F-35 is similar. Advanced sensors, data processing and networking, as well has EWF suites are central to modern fighters. I am aware that Israel likes to install a lot of their indigenous avionics and has home grown, often U.S. financed weapons.
The difference is the pilots. We protect not only our home, but the whole free world. As for “payment”, we pay with lives of our children, so you could practice liberty ( until the Islamic Death merchants take your countries away from you). See what’s happening now in England and France…
Watching this after the IAF strike 😂

A little off the topic but apparantly Ukraine has some extra unique abilities to hit Russian jets anywhere west of Krasnodar, Russia. It's been reported Ukraine shot down 10 in the last week including that A-50

@@MaxAfterburnerusa Patriot batteries aren't fully operational yet at this time.
Um yeah they are and have been in fact they have used the system so much they'll run out of missels next month. That's how they been shooting down Russia's hypersonic kenzals.
@@michaelbartley9572all ballistic missiles are hypersonic. Russia sold a lie that they had some sort of next generation hypersonic missile, but the Kinhzal missile is just an Iskander (basically a upgraded SCUD missile) that is air launched. So they're easy(relatively...) to target and take down.
Now Russia ....might have one of these advanced next gen missiles in their Avengard missile but they're not using them in Ukraine which is highly suspicious.
Hey Max, you just should remember that all those technologies could integrated in 1st place to the great Lavi Fighter.
Besides the war in Ukraine just proves that G-G missiles are much more effective than Fighter jets, also because Russia keeps away her jets from the battles area.
Ukraine’s fighting in a very different physical environment. Israel’s about the same size as New Jersey. Ukraine’s the size of Texas.
Great video
i assume there are other classified things in it.

A nice presentation !!!
Israel did have their own fighter jet. The American stop the project at the end. It was the best fighter jet instead Israel get Americans fighter jets. It was American interest that was the deal
Returning to this video now in November after Israel’s retaliatory strikes in Iran.
Israel now claims to “be able to fly freely in Iranian airspace”.
Just made me wonder if they feel they have pretty much fully battle tested the “Adir” and they must be super comfortable with its capabilities to make such a statement.
Very cool video. Always love REAL FACTUAL INFORMATION and content in today’s world 👌.
The F-001 in the video is the 1st F-35 of the Netherlands
Israel makes the impossible possible ,and always has .
i dont know if this was mentioned or not,... but, israel has a very long history of improving American tech. in fact the F16 was a terible fighter plane until israel develped the "Lavi" in 84 and america got spooked to the point of threatening embargo's and pulling out of all finantial support to israel. they didnt even allow israel to build it as pure israeli fighter (not to be exported) .. so ofcourse israel stopped the develpment and scrapped the jet but only after the US agreed to supply israel with lots of f16's and allow israel to rebuild the plane as they see fit.
thats how the f16i Barak and Sufa were created and ofcourse most of the improvments were exported to the US that helped the F16 to become a success internationaly after that.

Pretty sure the first thing that happens when we buy an aircraft from the US is having it stripped down and then installing proprietary systems on it. I asume some of the tech is shared between the countries because the planes' software has to be "unlocked" for modifications and what not
God bless Israel❤

Doesn't the F35 have the capability, of communication between all jets on deck, that can fire missiles coordinate to hit targets all at once?

@@ericmartini2980 Now, I presume from my own time in the AH-64 that networking and tracking (presumably radar)? If not, the tracking alone makes the F-35 a better A2A platform than the F-22.
great video
Haven't see or heard of a lion prowling on the " prairie " before !!!!
Everything mentioned in this video is a standard feature of the F-35A Block 2 and later in USAF service.
The electronic warfare systems in the F-35I are custom for Israel... but the US and NATO version have similar electronic warfare capabilities. While Israel is very well regarded in EW systems, it is important to note that the F-35I's capabilities are not technically superior ... at least not in a general sense. Instead they are CUSTOMIZED to Israeli needs.
In fact with the arrival of the Block 4 F-35A, the USAF version is technically superior overall to the F-35I - but still not customized to Israeli needs.
A really cool thing about the F-35 is that it can accept "drivers" for new weapons. So, any weapon integrated by any F-35 user is available to any F-35.
So, if a USAF F-35 lands in Germany, and needs to rearm from German munitions stores ... it can download the "driver" and be able to fire ASRAAM and Meteor. Israel has its own missiles and its own F-35 drivers, which they keep closely guarded - but a USAF F-35 could just download the drivers and use Israeli weapons.
A lot of the changes are for example chaff and flare dispensers - Israel wants to use their own systems. They use a lot more of that stuff (for reasons), and they want to be able to rapidly control their own supply.
They have also made some user interface tweaks to improve F-35's capability as a CAS fighter. (Remember they don't have A-10!)
Israel keeps most of its changes to the F-35 secret - but its a ton of little things that fit their special situation, not big game changing capabilities.
Soooo ... if I am flying to war with Russia or China, I prefer a USAF F-35A to get the mission done and get me home.
If we have another low-medium intensity conflict against ISIS or the Taliban ... I want F-35I to help me support the troops.
The IAF would know how to adapt. Don’t forget Israel is in the top 10 weapons exporter around the world for a reason. On top of that there is no nation around the world that has a missile defense system as combat proven abused and tested as the Israelis. And Chinese air to air missiles are based on Israeli python. at the end of the day I would want Israeli combat proven fighters with decades of endless combat experience against the best Russia has to offer.
Israel rules the sky God bless Israel 😂
Thank you
Glad to see you’re a fan boy but what are the differences between the i and the standard f35
Yes, that is nice, but since it has been manufactured and made to their spec in the us, we have that tech to play with, but they still don't have the best stealth fighter ever made.. the f22, that is getting a complete suite of upgrades to bring it near par to a f35, but more leathal.
If you have the finances, and know who to call on making anything from anywhere, you can expect a solid product.
Israel always improves things. I don't know why we don't bring them in for a joint fighter program. Although we don't know what American f35s have. No way they're selling the same one to other countries. I know Israel increased fuel consumption.So far though it sounds like a standard f35. Wait till block 4.
Adir means mighty, not strong . ( even more fitting tbh)
Israel has ALWAYS taken an American design and improved on it; so much the US adopted the new designs as it own in subsequent refurbishments (see the movie production, "The Pentagon Wars", where the Bradley was adopted by Israel, but not before design changes that were eventually accepted by the US Military Brass)!
Interesting topic but the commentary is really vague. Check out Alex Hollings for a great example of entertainment plus details.
What’s up Max Afta Burna? New sub here , I love how you deliver the information in your videos very Enthusiastic, informative content that is very engaging to watch. WOW, Israel has really made “ Fat Amy” F35i much better than our US spect versions! I’m still warming up to the F35.

Nice video, informative. Israel needs air superiority - if you don't understand - you don't get the middle east. The f35- I is central to this and Israel recently ordered another 25 from Lockheed Martin
Israel was also the only country to accept the F 15 into service without the USA block 1 export electronics. What they had then already exceeded the USA block 2 specifications.
How does this version of F-35 stack up against the F-22? As a casual observer I prefer the F-22 due to its higher altitude and a higher top speed as well as two engines. What’s your take?
Didn't they also fit a bigger fuel tank inside, meaning the F35 is rather based on the F35C and not the F35A.
These are all awesome features. However, they are all standard issue on our F-35. So what is the hype about the ADIR?
Exactly! Seems it was a chance to place an ad. I stopped half way through.
When your stock F-35A isn't just enough, specs-wise...you upgrade it even more in your ways!
@@jonkvh agreed.
Because their F35’s are no longer standard. They have made substantial modifications to their units.
@@oneflyline96 What he talked about is standard on all F35's 🤔
Father in Jesus name I decree absolute dominion for Israel on land, sea and air!!
Has the US air force adapted all the IAF upgrades?
FUBAR-35i most advanced ever? Dream on Max.
one ( crucial ) thing you did not mention (maybe you don;t know about it ) the pilot;s helmet , costing 400,000 US $ for a reason
