These Are The Countries The US Has Banned From Buying The F-35

The US has rebuffed the requests of at least eight countries to purchase the F-35 stealth fighter.

Export of the F-22 was banned before it entered service, putting more pressure on the program’s early cancellation.

The US clandestinely acquired and flew MiG-17s, MiG-21s, and MiG-23s for aggressor training in the Cold War.

Fighter pilots get base pay along with several benefits and bonuses.

The F-35B is the most advanced STOVL fighter jet and is ‘the’ 5th-gen fighter of warships smaller than US Navy supercarriers.

The F-15 Eagle holds this unique distinction.

The deal was confirmed at the recent NATO Summit.

The US Air Force has over 400 and perhaps closer to 500 F-35s in inventory, while Lockheed has delivered over 1,000 F-35s in total.

The UK has acknowledged that it is entering a new era of heightened threats.

Almost 1,200 F-35s have likely been delivered, with thousands more expected to be built in the years ahead.
