A Closer Look At Key Issues With The US F-35 Program

Lockheed Martin looks set to exceed expected F-35 deliveries as it clears its backlog and irons out production wrinkles.

Turkey was expelled from the F-35 program for purchasing the Russian S-400 air defense system.

Besides crashes, a poor radar cross-section, and zero exports, it seems the Su-57 Felon’s many woes include declining production rates in 2024.

Israel has purchased 75 F-35s from the US, of which around 40 have been delivered.

While around six missiles struck hangars, admin buildings, and maintenance hangars, it was not possible to see any destroyed or damaged aircraft.

The Marines are gradually taking possession of more and more of their 67 planned F-35Cs.

The short answer is “Yes!” So, what makes the F-14 Tomcat stand out amongst 4th Generation fighter jets?

At least 3,000 F-35s are expected to eventually be produced, although many factors could increase or decrease the overall number.

The United States goes to great lengths to protect its allies and the technology in its prized F-35 fighter jets.

Turkey seems to have cognitive dissonance about its Russian S-400 purchase and wants to be readmitted to the F-35 program.
