Upgraded Israeli F-35s Can Hit Targets 1,300 Miles Away

Israel has transformed the U.S.-built F-35, doubling its range while keeping the jet virtually invisible to radar.

It has given Israeli pilots the ability to strike targets more than 1,300 miles away.

The upgraded fighters carry heavier payloads, fuse data from advanced sensors, and link with each other and accompanying drones to create a real-time battlefield picture.

Israeli engineers have added their own classified systems and combat-honed enhancements, many shaped by the F-35’s decisive performance in June’s 12-day war with Iran, when its stealth and targeting capabilities shattered Iran’s air defenses and secured air superiority.
