Scenarios
Emirati government sources stated that recent CENTCOM videos of F-35s at an undisclosed location actually show the VMFA-311 jets at Ovda rather than F-35Bs at Al-Dhafra. The aircraft will join F-35As from the US Air Force and US Air National Guard based at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia and will conduct combat air patrols over Jordan.
