Hvordan kan F-35I nå mål i Iran? - The Aviationist har svaret

 

 In light of the recent Iran strikes, remember that the F-35 is plumbed to carry fuel tanks right 

off the production line. In 2019, Lockheed Martin designed a 600-gal external fuel tank. Earlier, 

460-gal designs were canceled ~2010 after showing little utility. In 2021, Israeli newspapers 

reported the 600-gal tanks were being developed by a company called Cyclone (Israeli

that builds F-15 fuel tanks). In 2022, IAF was advertising they had increased the range of F-

35s....to strike Iran targets without aerial refueling. In 2024... There's good historical reporting by
