Then today, it appears the U.S. is planning to buy 30+ fewer F-35s and Lockheed stock is down over 6% on that U.S. news.
The US order always seemed overly bloated and at risk of reduction.
As good as it (and I do think it's a fantastic bit of kit) the US has always had better luck when you have multiple types from different manufacturers who can show they can make more lifecycle cost reductions.
