Watch: Lockheed Martin rolls out first Israeli F-35

Lockheed Martin unveiled the first Israeli F-35 Wednesday in a ceremony featuring flashing lights, stirring music and an Israeli singer-songwriter.

The name of Israeli F-35 is “Adir,” which loosely translates to “might” in Hebrew. Israel was the first country to procure the F-35A conventional takeoff and landing variant through the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program in 2010. The F-35 is “the latest symbol of a special relationship between Israel and the United States,” according to Lockheed Martin President and CEO Marillyn Hewson.
