According to the report on the website of today's Russian TV station on December 25, the Israel Defense Forces has decided to suspend 11 F-35A fighter jets on Sunday. In an accident in Texas last week, an F-35B Lightning II fighter plane of the US Air Force crashed while trying to land. A spokesman of the Israel Defense Forces told the media: "From the results of the investigation and the information transmitted, it is found that these aircraft need to be specially inspected to rule out the possibility of failure in the Israeli system." The Israel Defense Forces said that the preliminary assessment showed that this US made aircraft may have similar defects that led to the crash in Texas. Last Thursday, an American F-35B fighter plane crashed during a vertical landing at an air force base in northern Texas. The pilot almost ejected from the plane on the runway. This is the second time this year that Israel has suspended the flight of F-35 fighter jets. In July this year, Tel Aviv had grounded the F-35 fighter for a period of time after the ejection seat was found to be malfunctioning. At that time, the United States grounded all F-35 fighters.
