以色列政府近日批准一項數十億美元軍購案，將向美國採購兩個戰機中隊，包括F-35 Lightning II匿蹤多用途戰機，以及F-15IA戰機，藉此進一步強化其空中優勢。
Israel has approved a multi-billion-dollar deal to acquire two squadrons of fighter jets from the United States, including the stealth multirole F-35 Lightning II and the advanced F-15IA, aiming to further strengthen its air superiority.

以色列國防部指出，此項採購將確保未來數十年的制空優勢，並作為整體防衛戰略的重要一環。
According to Israel’s Ministry of Defense, the acquisition is designed to ensure air superiority for decades and forms a core pillar of its broader defense strategy.

Part of “Shield of Israel” Plan to Maintain Qualitative Edge

國防部長表示，F-35與F-15IA的採購，是「以色列之盾」（Shield of Israel）計畫核心內容，旨在確保以色列國防軍在區域衝突中維持「質量優勢」。
Defense officials stated that the acquisition of F-35 and F-15IA aircraft is central to the “Shield of Israel” plan, aimed at preserving the Israel Defense Forces’ qualitative military edge in regional conflicts.

目前以色列已操作數十架F-35戰機，此次增購將進一步提升其匿蹤打擊與遠程作戰能力。
Israel already operates dozens of F-35 jets, and the additional purchase will further enhance its stealth strike and long-range operational capabilities.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the deal would reinforce Israel’s “overwhelming air superiority,” highlighting the military’s ability to strike distant targets if required.

此外，以色列也計畫在未來十年投入約1180億美元（約新臺幣3.8兆元）提升國防預算，並推動國產武器與戰機研發，以降低對外依賴。
Israel also plans to invest approximately $118 billion over the next decade to boost defense spending and develop domestically produced weapons and aircraft, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers.

空軍戰力頻繁運用 實戰經驗累積

Frequent Operational Use Strengthens Combat Experience

近年來，以色列空軍在區域衝突中扮演關鍵角色，包括在加薩戰事中執行大規模空襲任務，並多次對伊朗相關目標進行遠程打擊。
In recent years, the Israeli Air Force has played a central role in regional conflicts, conducting large-scale airstrike campaigns in Gaza and executing long-range strikes against Iranian-related targets.

相關行動顯示其高度依賴空中戰力作為戰略核心，也凸顯持續升級戰機與技術的重要性。
These operations underscore Israel’s reliance on airpower as a strategic cornerstone and highlight the importance of continued fighter modernization.

軍費持續攀升 應對多線威脅

Rising Defense Budget to Address Multi-Front Threats

隨著區域安全情勢升溫，以色列軍費自2023年以來持續增加，除應對加薩衝突外，也需面對來自黎巴嫩與伊朗等多方威脅。
Amid rising regional tensions, Israel’s defense spending has steadily increased since 2023, driven by ongoing conflicts in Gaza and threats from Lebanon and Iran.

分析指出，此次戰機採購與軍費擴張，顯示以色列正加速強化整體軍事實力，以確保未來戰場的主導地位。
Analysts note that the fighter acquisition and increased defense spending reflect Israel’s efforts to rapidly strengthen its military capabilities and maintain dominance in future conflicts.
