Gen. Michael Schmidt, program executive officer for the F-35, declined to identify to reporters the capabilities sent to Israel in the two-plus months following the attack, noting the program strives to keep all nations flying the jet supplied with spare parts and capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But speaking with reporters after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2023\/12\/13\/newest-f-35s-stalled-by-slow-production-of-key-parts\/\" target=\"_blank\">hearing before the House Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces<\/a>, Schmidt confirmed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/11\/30\/poll-finds-strong-support-for-arming-ukraine-israel-and-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\">improvements rushed to Israel<\/a> occurred after Hamas\u2019 deadly attack that killed at least 1,200 people. The Palestinian Health Ministry said more than 18,000 people have died as a result of subsequent Israeli air and ground attacks in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bill LaPlante, the U.S. undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, said at the hearing the F-35 program was recently able to hurry updated mission data files to a nation in a week or week and a half. Schmidt confirmed after the hearing that LaPlante was referring to Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mission data files are a \u201cbrick,\u201d as LaPlante described them, containing the jet\u2019s memory of threats it might encounter on an operation and other information needed for combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The F-35 program \u201cis still not where it needs to be on these mission data files,\u201d LaPlante said. But the recent rapid updating of these files is a good sign, he added, and the lessons learned from doing so will be used across the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LaPlante said in written remarks that Israel has 35 of its 39 F-35s operating and carrying out missions, with the help of a surge in sustainment support to maximize the nation\u2019s aircraft readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subcommittee\u2019s chairman, Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., said at Tuesday\u2019s hearing the F-35 Joint Program Office \u201cmoved at a breakneck speed\u201d to support Israel by accelerating its jets\u2019 weapons capabilities and increasing the flow of spare parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schmidt told lawmakers Israel\u2019s F-35s have performed \u201cabsolutely outstanding\u201d in its war to eliminate Hamas, with high rates of aircraft able to carry out their missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have added some capabilities to that airplane in a very short period of time,\u201d he said. \u201cOur team is doing everything we can to continue to move the ball forward there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
