On a Sunday in early May 2026, a panel of senior Israeli ministers signed off on a plan that had been gathering urgency for the better part of a year: buy two more squadrons of American fighters, and buy them now. One squadron of stealthy F-35I \u201cAdir\u201d jets from Lockheed Martin. One squadron of new-build F-15IA Eagles from Boeing. Together, a deliberate doubling-down on the kind of airpower that had just spent a war flying to the edge of the map and back.<\/p>\r\n<p>For Israel, this is less a shopping list than a statement of intent. The country had emerged from a punishing 2025\u20132026 campaign against Iran \u2014 an operation its government variously called Rising Lion and Lion\u2019s Roar \u2014 with a hard-won lesson written across its flight logs: reach matters, and so does the ability to keep reaching, mission after mission, for years on end. The new jets are the answer Israel has chosen.<\/p>\r\n<p>What does adding two squadrons actually buy a country the size of New Jersey? More than the obvious arithmetic of extra airframes. It buys redundancy, deeper magazines, longer legs, and the political signal that Israel intends to hold its aerial edge well into the 2030s. Here is what the deal contains, and why each half of it was chosen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f5f6f8; border: 1px solid #e2e5ea; border-radius: 10px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 26px 0;\">\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 12px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17px; color: #222;\">Quick Facts<\/p>\r\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 18px; line-height: 1.75; color: #333;\">\r\n<li><strong>Approved:<\/strong> Israel\u2019s Ministerial Committee on Procurement, announced 3 May 2026<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>What:<\/strong> A 4th F-35I \u201cAdir\u201d squadron (Lockheed Martin) + a 2nd F-15IA squadron (Boeing)<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Numbers:<\/strong> Not officially stated; reporters estimate ~25 of each (~50 jets), based on recent Israeli squadron buys<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>End state:<\/strong> Reportedly toward 100 F-35I and 50 F-15IA \u201cover the coming years\u201d<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> \u201cTens of billions of shekels\u201d for the two squadrons; part of the ~350bn-shekel (~$120bn) decade-long \u201cMagen Israel\u201d buildup<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>F-15IA engines:<\/strong> Two General Electric F110-GE-129 (per GE\/Boeing\/specialist sources)<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Driver:<\/strong> Officials cite operational lessons from the 2025\u20132026 Iran campaign<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">What Two More Squadrons Really Add<\/h2>\r\n<p>An air force does not measure power only in aircraft. It measures it in sorties \u2014 how many missions it can launch, sustain, and repeat before the machines and the maintainers run out. The Iran campaign, by every Israeli account, ran the existing fleet hard. Some of the older <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-15-eagle\">F-15<\/a> Baz airframes still in service are decades old, a few tracing their combat histories back to the 1970s. Two new squadrons relieve that strain in the most direct way possible: fresh airframes, modern systems, and crews who can spread the load.<\/p>\r\n<p>The approval, the Israeli Ministry of Defense said, would eventually bring the air force to four F-35I squadrons and a second F-15IA unit \u2014 a fleet trending toward roughly 100 stealth jets and 50 new Eagles over the coming years. The ministry did not put a precise aircraft count on the order; defense reporters inferred around 25 of each, in line with how Israel has structured recent purchases. Treat the \u201c~50 jets\u201d figure as an educated estimate, not an official number.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width: 550px; margin: 0 auto 28px;\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 560px; border: none; border-radius: 12px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2050825994827645397&amp;theme=light\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>There is also a deterrence logic that has nothing to do with day-to-day operations. Announcing a major buy in the immediate wake of a war tells adversaries that Israel does not intend to draw down, recover, and hope for quiet. It intends to come out of the conflict with a larger, more modern force than it went in with. That message is aimed at Tehran, but it is heard across the region.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #1565c0; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; display: flex; gap: 20px; align-items: flex-start;\">\r\n<div><em>\u201cThe operational lessons learned from this campaign compel us to continue accelerating our force development to ensure the Air Force\u2019s superiority in the decades to come.\u201d<\/em>\r\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #555;\"><strong>Israel Katz<\/strong> \u2014 Israeli Minister of Defense (statement, 3 May 2026, via The War Zone)<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">The F-35I \u201cAdir\u201d: A Stealth Jet Israel Made Its Own<\/h2>\r\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-35-lightning-ii\">F-35<\/a> is the most-produced stealth fighter in the world, flown by more than a dozen nations. But the Israeli version is unusual. When Israel signed on as a customer, it secured something most F-35 operators do not get: permission to bolt its own systems onto the jet. The result carries a Hebrew name, \u201cAdir\u201d \u2014 roughly, \u201cMighty\u201d \u2014 and a degree of national fingerprinting that sets it apart from every American, British or Japanese F-35.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin: 0 0 24px;\"><img data-opt-id=668249985  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 6px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/iaf-f-35i-adir-901-flight.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli Air Force F-35I Adir in flight\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/>\r\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #777; text-align: center; margin-top: 6px; font-style: italic;\">An Israeli Air Force F-35I \u201cAdir\u201d with the Hebrew name painted along the fuselage and the IAF Star of David roundel on the wing. Photo: Israeli Air Force \/ Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>The most consequential Israeli additions are unglamorous and largely invisible: command, control, communications and computing systems developed domestically, primarily by Israel Aerospace Industries, that let Israel load its own mission data, threat libraries and weapon interfaces without depending on an outside vendor for every update. Israeli electronic-warfare components, much of it Elbit Systems work, supplement the standard suite. And the Adir can carry Israeli-made munitions \u2014 from the Python-5 air-to-air missile to SPICE precision-guided bombs \u2014 alongside the American weapons in the F-35 catalogue. The pilot\u2019s helmet, too, leans on Israeli display technology, Elbit being a co-developer of the broader F-35 helmet program.<\/p>\r\n<p>This matters because sovereignty in software is sovereignty in war. An air force that can reprogram its own jets overnight, against threats it discovered that afternoon, fights differently from one waiting on a foreign release cycle. That is the capability Israel paid extra to secure \u2014 and the reason a fourth Adir squadron is treated as a strategic priority rather than a line item.<\/p>\r\n<p>Israel already operates two Adir squadrons, including the famous 140 \u201cGolden Eagle\u201d Squadron at Nevatim, and had a third squadron on order before this announcement; reporting puts the delivered fleet at roughly 45 to 48 jets out of 75 already contracted. In recent combat the type has done things no F-35 had done before, including, by Israeli account, the first air-to-air kill of a crewed aircraft by an F-35 \u2014 a claim Israel attributes to its own pilots and one worth flagging as Israel\u2019s, not an independently confirmed fact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; margin: 24px 0;\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0; border-radius: 8px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1k3PSmHCHvk\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #777; font-style: italic; text-align: center; margin-top: -8px;\">Official Israeli Air Force footage of an F-35I \u201cAdir\u201d flying over Israel.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">The F-15IA: Not Your Father\u2019s Ra\u2019am<\/h2>\r\n<p>If the F-35 is the scalpel, the F-15 is the sledgehammer \u2014 and Israel has loved the sledgehammer for a long time.

Those jets, powered by Pratt &amp; Whitney F100-PW-229 engines, are now well into middle age.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin: 0 0 24px;\"><img data-opt-id=236758658  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 6px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/iaf-f-15i-raam-69-squadron.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli Air Force F-15I Raam of 69 Squadron\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/>\r\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #777; text-align: center; margin-top: 6px; font-style: italic;\">An Israeli Air Force F-15I \u201cRa\u2019am\u201d of 69 \u201cHammers\u201d Squadron, the type the new F-15IA builds upon. Photo: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>The new F-15IA is a different animal. It is Israel\u2019s version of Boeing\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/f-15e-strike-eagle\">F-15EX<\/a> Eagle II \u2014 the first brand-new Eagles Israel will have received since 1999, not refurbished hand-me-downs. Where the Ra\u2019am carries 1990s avionics, the IA is built around an APG-82(V)1 active electronically scanned array radar, fly-by-wire flight controls, a digital cockpit with large-area displays, and the structural muscle to haul more weapons \u2014 including outsize standoff and air-launched ballistic weapons that Israel increasingly relies on. Specialist sources, including GE Aerospace and Boeing, identify its engines as two General Electric F110-GE-129s \u2014 a switch in engine family from the older Ra\u2019am, and a detail worth attributing rather than stating from memory.<\/p>\r\n<p>The first F-15IA squadron is already under contract. Israel signed a deal in late 2025 \u2014 a Boeing contract with a ceiling reported around $8.6 billion \u2014 for 25 of the jets, with an option for 25 more. This new ministerial approval, in plain terms, is Israel reaching for that option. Deliveries of the first batch are not expected to begin until around 2031, at a modest four to six aircraft a year, with work slated to run into the mid-2030s. The 2024 U.S. clearance had already authorized Israel to buy as many as 50 F-15IAs. So the May 2026 decision is the second tranche of a plan years in the making \u2014 not a sudden new purchase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background: #f8f9fa; border-left: 4px solid #5C91FF; padding: 20px 22px; margin: 18px 0 24px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; display: flex; gap: 20px; align-items: flex-start;\">\r\n<div><em>\u201cThe combination of the two squadrons\u2019 distinct capabilities will provide the Air Force with full flexibility to address a wide range of combat scenarios.\u201d<\/em>\r\n<div style=\"margin-top: 10px; font-size: 14px; color: #555;\"><strong>Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram<\/strong> \u2014 Director General, Israeli Ministry of Defense (statement, 3 May 2026, via Breaking Defense)<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top: 22px;\">Two Jets, One Strategy<\/h2>\r\n<p>Why buy both at once? The conventional analysis \u2014 and it is analysis, not gospel \u2014 holds that the two aircraft do complementary jobs. The F-35I, with its stealth and sensor fusion, is the platform for kicking down the door against modern air defenses: penetrating, finding, and surviving in contested airspace. The F-15IA, with its enormous payload and long range, is the platform for following through \u2014 carrying the heavy ordnance, the standoff missiles, and serving as an airborne command-and-control node that ties a long-range operation together. Stealth opens the path; the Eagle delivers the weight.<\/p>\r\n<p>That division of labor is exactly what a country planning for repeated long-range campaigns would want. Israel\u2019s purchase also lands at a moment when the F-15\u2019s new lease on life is being validated elsewhere: the U.S. Air Force itself recently expanded its own F-15EX plans, a vote of confidence in the airframe Israel is buying.<\/p>\r\n<p>None of this is cheap, and none of it is fast. The jets will arrive over years, not months, and much of the funding is wrapped inside the decade-long \u201cMagen Israel\u201d program \u2014 a roughly $120 billion bet on the next ten years of Israeli defense, of which these two squadrons are only the opening move. But the direction is unmistakable. A country that just fought a war at the limit of its reach has decided the answer is to reach further, and to make sure it never has to choose between the scalpel and the sledgehammer again.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-style: italic; font-size: 14px; color: #666; margin-top: 26px;\">Sources: The War Zone; Breaking Defense; Times of Israel; Reuters; Army Recognition; Jerusalem Post; GE Aerospace.<\/p>\r\n<!-- mf-faq -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"mf-faq-block\"><style>.mf-faq-block{margin:34px 0}.mf-faq-item:not([open]) .mf-faq-answer{display:none !important}.mf-faq-block h2.mf-faq-h{padding-top:22px;margin-bottom:14px}.mf-faq-item{border:1px solid #e2e8f5;border-radius:8px;margin:0 0 10px;background:#fff}.mf-faq-item summary{list-style:none;cursor:pointer;padding:15px 50px 15px 18px;font-weight:600;color:#1a1a1a;position:relative;line-height:1.45;user-select:none}.mf-faq-item summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mf-faq-item summary::after{content:\"+\";position:absolute;right:18px;top:50%;transform:translateY(-50%);font-size:1.5em;font-weight:400;color:#5C91FF;line-height:1}.mf-faq-item[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mf-faq-item[open] summary{border-bottom:1px solid #eef1f8}.mf-faq-item summary:hover{background:#f5f8ff}.mf-faq-answer{padding:14px 18px;color:#333;line-height:1.6}.mf-faq-answer p{margin:0}.mf-faq-answer a{color:#5C91FF}<\/style>\r\n<h2 class=\"mf-faq-h\">Related Questions<\/h2>\r\n<details class=\"mf-faq-item\">\r\n<summary>What fighter jets is Israel buying?<\/summary>\r\n<div class=\"mf-faq-answer\">\r\n<p>In May 2026 Israel's Ministerial Committee on Procurement approved buying two more squadrons of American fighters: a fourth squadron of stealthy F-35I \"Adir\" jets from Lockheed Martin and a second squadron of new-build <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/267-eagles-the-air-forces-big-bet\/\">F-15IA Eagles<\/a> from Boeing.
