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 on the subject came from the Pentagon, the United States Department of Defense. What is the latest situation in F-35 orders? Which countries ordered F-35? Here are the details…
Pentagon: F-35 deliveries continue where they left off!
The expected announcement regarding F-35 deliveries has finally arrived. The US Department of Defense broke its silence regarding the deliveries of Pentagon F-35 Lightning II fighter jets. According to the statement on the subject, the orders of the countries that ordered the F-35 will begin to be delivered sequentially.
Countries such as Greece, Japan, Poland and Norway were queuing for orders. In fact, our old readers may remember that following the F-35 and F-16 decision taken by the USA regarding Turkey in the past months, the decision to sell 40 F-35 aircraft to Greece was also approved by the Senate.
In the 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.
Thanks to this new version, production speed and capacity would be increased and the opportunity to reach more customers would be provided. However, technical problems experienced during the integration process slowed down the production of the aircraft and caused the company to fall behind schedule.
This new technological warbird, which has a very low radar signature, will be in an even better position with the TR-3 integration. With F-35 Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) package:
- Software and hardware upgrades
- Sensor and weapon systems
- Network-centric warfare capabilities
- Improved electronic warfare (EW) capabilities
- High speed data communication,
Such add-ons will be integrated into F-35 models.
