Israel overhauls air force with rapid-response 'Thunder' unit to prevent future border invasions.
The Israeli Air Force has launched a major defense overhaul following the October 7, 2023, attack, introducing a new rapid-response unit and operational strategy called 'Thunder' to prevent future ground invasions.
The unit activates automatically during wartime, deploying helicopters, drones, and aircraft within an hour to disrupt threats along borders.
Fighter jets now carry 12–15 bombs on alert, and pre-planned strikes can be launched without ground coordination if command systems fail.
The reforms, driven by lessons from past conflicts, include enhanced readiness, expanded helicopter fleets—reversing prior cuts—and improved coordination with ground forces.
The changes aim to intercept invaders before they breach territory, with a focus on speed, autonomy, and preemptive action across all border regions.
