via Defence Blog

Germany's first F-35A, designated MG-01, is receiving a stealth coating at Lockheed Martin's production facility in Texas. The aircraft is nearing delivery to the Luftwaffe after entering final assembly in March. The F-35A is a key component of Germany's military modernization efforts.

Why it matters

The F-35A's stealth capabilities will enhance Germany's airpower, and its delivery marks a significant milestone in the country's military modernization. The introduction of the F-35A will also strengthen NATO's collective defense capabilities.
