Earlier this month, the Israeli Air Force took delivery of three additional F-35I Adir stealth fighters from Lockheed Martin, bringing their fleet to 48 aircraft.

These fifth-generation jets are Israel's most advanced combat aircraft designed to slip past sophisticated air defenses, gather intelligence, and strike high-value targets deep inside hostile territory.

The fighters are a cornerstone of Israel's deterrence posture, signaling that any attack on the Jewish state would carry significant retaliatory consequences.

Those same aircraft played a decisive role during the 12-day war.

The F-35s helped Israel operate inside contested airspace, track threats, and feed real-time intelligence across the military.

They helped make Israel's broader air and missile defense network work as a single coordinated system.

Now, the Israeli preparations are taking place alongside a growing American military presence in the region.

All right, coming up next, Beijing intensifies its shadow war against Taiwan as Chinese intelligence operations penetrate the island's armed forces.

I'll be right back.

Hey, Mike Baker here.

Now, I've spent years working in difficult and challenging environments.

Long hours, tough terrain, no room for gear that can't keep up.

And that's why I trust Brunt Workwear.

I'm talking about Brunt.

It's spelled B-R-U-N-T, just like you would imagine.

As an example, Brunt's Marin boots are rugged, waterproof, and comfortable right out of the box, and that's important because you don't have any break-in period.

And Brunt builds more than just boots, right?

They build work pants, jackets, all of it crafted to perform.

It's durable, reliable, mission-ready.

For those who get after it, Brunt's got your back.
