Jerusalem Seeks Clarity On Allied Access To US Sixth Generation Fighter
Israel is considering the potential acquisition of Boeing’s F-47 sixth-generation fighter, with plans to request information from the US about the aircraft. The review is still in its preliminary stages, and no procurement decision has been made. Israel’s Defense Ministry and military are also seeking clarity on US policy toward foreign sales of the F-47, following indications that Japan may be allowed to join the program. The F-47 is being developed under tight secrecy, with expected features including advanced artificial intelligence and a new engine. According to The Jerusalem Post, the program is expected to begin flight testing in 2028.
