The contingent of F-35A Lightning II stealth fighters at Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan continues to grow, with the deployment projected to reach 30 airframes. Combined with 24 F-15E Strike Eagles and A-10 Thunderbolt IIs already in place, the base now hosts more than 60 advanced combat aircraft. Satellite imagery confirms expanded ramp space and hardened shelter usage consistent with preparations for contested-state operations.
