The US Air Force performs huge show of strength with 52 fully-armed F-35A Lightning II stealth fighters – the same number of Iranian targets President Trump has announced – taking off in a single wave into Middle East.
It should be noted that 52 represents the number of American diplomats and civilians seized by Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis, as well as, the number of targets that Trump has threatened to strike should the Iranian regime retaliate over Soleimani’s death against US.
The exercise was carried out by the active duty 388th and Reserve 419th Fighter Wings, which said it showed the Air Force’s ability to deploy a large force of the F-35As.
