While Israel laid claim to being the first country ever to use the US-made F-35 fighter jet in combat, the US may follow suit soon, according to defense officials.
CNN reported the comments on Tuesday, citing several officials who said the fifth-generation stealth aircraft are currently aboard the USS Essex amphibious assault ship. They added that the jets will likely be in position to conduct airstrikes in Afghanistan in the coming days.
The vessel has already sailed to the North Arabian Sea and is on its way to the Persian Gulf, according to the report. The F-35s have been conducting intelligence and surveillance missions in Somalia.
Israel claimed that its F-35s conducted combat missions last May, marking a first for the aircraft, which has been plagued with production delays and other technical setbacks.
It is quite safe to use F35s in Afghanistan! As far as we know, the resistance there do not have radar nor surface to air defence missiles or planes.

So, Bejing insists that Taiwan is just a province of CommChi. And why is your province (able to buy sophisticated war paraphernalias ftom the US without your approval? You better be realistic. Soon CommChi would be the largest democratic country on earth under a Taiwanese Leadership. This was actually the mission of a democratic military general, Pareng Chiang Kai Chik had he not been defeated by Mao and forced to flee to Taiwan. Taiwan has an ax to grind actually.
