The United States operates multiple bases with more than 100 fighter jets typically stationed there.

British forces have shot down drones across the Middle East over the past day as Iran continues to strike.

The F-35 will also serve as a test bed for technologies that will become commonplace in the next generation of jets. Flying in coordination with AI-enabled drones will become a staple of any sixth-generation fighter, and those new fighter tricks will likely first arrive in the form of the F-35.
