The F-35 issue, which has been occupying the world defense industry agenda for a long time, has come to the agenda again. New statements have come from the Pentagon, the United States Department of Defense, on the subject. What is the latest status of F-35 orders? Which countries have ordered F-35s? Here are the details…
Pentagon: F-35 deliveries continue where they left off!
The long-awaited announcement regarding F-35 deliveries has finally arrived. The US Department of Defense has broken its silence regarding Pentagon F-35 Lightning II fighter jet deliveries. According to the statement made on the subject, the orders of the countries that ordered F-35s will begin to be delivered in order.
Countries like Greece, Japan, Poland and Norway were queuing up to order. In fact, our old readers will recall that following the US decision regarding Turkey regarding the F-35s and F-16s in the past months, the decision to sell 40 F-35s to Greece was also approved by the Senate.
In a statement made today regarding the issue, it was reported that the technical problems experienced in the F-35 Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) version have been resolved. In recent months, Lockheed Martin introduced the Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) version in order to further accelerate the F-35 program and production.
This new version would increase production speed and capacity, allowing it to reach more customers. However, technical problems during the integration process slowed down the production of the aircraft and caused the company to fall behind schedule.
