The F-35 Lightning II is the most advanced node in the 21st Century Security architecture. A 5th Generation fighter aircraft, the F-35 is designed to detect and deter emerging threats. The F-35 collects, analyzes, and shares data to enhance all assets in the battlespace and drive faster decision-making. 

Many of the Czech Republic’s NATO allies and international partners are operating F-35s in the European theatre today. The global footprint of the F-35 continues to expand, forming the foundation of NATO’s next generation of air power and connected protection.
