Germany receives first F-35A, marking Luftwaffe's shift to stealth era

Germany's Defense Minister Pistorius accepted the first of 35 F-35A jets in Texas, a milestone in the Bundeswehr's modernization. The delivery signals a generational capability leap for the Luftwaffe, replacing aging Tornadoes. This is a routine procurement milestone, not a sudden shift, but it underscores NATO's ongoing stealth modernization.
