IAF chief procurement officer: F35 will replace F16
The Israeli Air Force's chief procurement officer Brig. Gen. Zeev Snir said plans to buy to replace its fleet of combat jets, transport planes, and helicopters are being completed.

Buying 100 F-35s is a key part of the plan and Snir added that IAF is willing to buy 24 F-22s as well but is not successful due to the high cost and Washington's refusal to sell it.

The IAF is considering buying six C-130Js and will test out the model soon.
