Perhaps old news for some of you...

The first purchase of these aircraft was made in 2010 and the first planes are expected to land in Israel in 2017.
Nice one!
(EDITOR’S NOTE: It is very disappointing to see the Israel Defense Force, which over the years has acquired a very flattering reputation for operational effectiveness and engineering inventiveness, reduced to spouting meaningless marketing-speak.
