Germany to receive first F-35s in 2026 to rejuvenate air force
14-12-2022
Germany is set to receive the first batch of its F-35 fighter jets in 2026, though the initial eight units will remain stationed in the U.S. for training purposes, creating a tight schedule to build up more advanced air-defense capabilities before the aging Tornado models are retired in 2030.

Probably a typo, as BF-148 doesn't match the BuNo.
