Israel's Defense Ministry has officially signed a deal with the United States for it to procure a third F-35 fighter jet squadron.

The ministry says a delegation to the US signed on a letter of agreement (LOA) a short while ago, which includes 25 stealth fighters built by Lockheed Martin.

The planes will begin to be delivered starting in 2028, in batches of three to five per year, the ministry says.

The aircraft would bring the Israeli Air Force’s F-35i fleet to 75 in the coming years. Though only 36 of Israel's original order of 50 F-35s have so far been delivered.

The deal totals some $3 billion, financed by US military aid to Israel, the ministry says.
