"Break-up" somewhat too prophetic, please don't use such negative terms in this forum

The four IAF F-35As 933, 935, 937 & 924 (in landing order) duly arrived at Nevatim 14.25Z on Tuesday 4th August. 924 will be allocated to the flight test center (manat) and has an extra blade aerial on the rear upper fuselage, apparently for data transmission. It may well have / gain other modifications.

Not sure what is going on at Lockheed. They must have run out of tail number paint. Yesterday saw a F-35A without marking as well as a F-35B.
Today however they found some paint prior to the first flight of AF-251, 18-5360, but only for the nose wheel door. No other markings are present.

I think these departed from Fort Worth, and were thought to be Korean?.
