The Israeli Air Force has taken delivery of the first two of 30 M-346 jet trainers ordered from Italy’s Alenia Aermacchi in 2012.
The jets arrived on July 9 at Israel’s Hatzerim Air Force base, where they will replace TA-4 aircraft.
Another six aircraft are completing assembly at Alenia's Venegono facility near Milan and a further five are undergoing structural part assembly. All 30 aircraft will be delivered by the end of 2016.
