Key developments:

Β· Delivery of Super Mushshak aircraft.
Β· Basic and advanced training for the BAF.
Β· Maintenance support for the BAF.
Β· Integration of air defense radar systems.
Β· Potential procurement of JF-17C aircraft.

Now, it all depends on the upcoming elections in Bangladesh.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ The total amount of F-35s made in FY-2025 reached 191 aircrafts. Approximately 36 of these F-35 Lightning IIs were delivered to the USAF; with 155 being shipped to foreign purchasers.

β€’ 85 F-35s were delivered to Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland and the final deliveries for Norway were made.
β€’ 40 F-35s were delivered to Asian & Indo-Pacific allies, specifically Japan, South Korea & Australia
β€’ 6 F-35Is were delivered to Israel.
β€’ The remaining 24 F-35s were delivered to Singapore, Finland, Greece, Romania & the Czech Republic.

The 191 F-35s manufactured in 2025 are currently the most made in a singular year, with nearly 5 nations signing on in 2025 and another 4 pending with as much as 200 more airframes, there is potential for the next few years to see even more of the Single-engined, multirole stealth fighter being made.

πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ Kawasaki EC-1 β€” The "Hunchback of Iruma"

β€” A rare and specialized asset of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), the Kawasaki EC-1 is a one-off electronic warfare (EW) platform. Converted from the C-1 transport, it serves as a critical training and jamming asset for the Electronic Warfare Squadron at Iruma Air Base.

πŸ”Ή Type: Electronic Warfare (EW) / Jamming Training Aircraft.

πŸ”Ή Performance:

Engines: Twin Mitsubishi-built Pratt & Whitney JT8D-M-9 turbofans.

Speed: Max speed of ~800 km/h.

Distinction: Instantly recognizable by its bulbous black nose, tail radome, and several fuselage bulges housing advanced sensors.

πŸ”Ή Mission Profile:

Radar Jamming: Equipped with the domestic XJ/ALQ-5 ECM suite and Toshiba ELINT systems to disrupt enemy signals.

πŸ”Ή Status: As the C-1 fleet nears total retirement by the end of FY2024, this legendary aircraft is being succeeded by the much larger and more capable RC-2 (based on the Kawasaki C-2).
