The Pentagon announced a ten-year framework agreement with Lockheed Martin for at least 850 F-35 stealth fighter jets, pending Congressional approval. This deal aims to modernize the U.S. fleet of multi-role F-35 Lightning II aircraft and includes maintenance and spare parts. Lockheed Martin will invest at least $7 billion to enhance industrial and logistical capabilities for the F-35 program. This agreement is expected to stabilize the U.S. defense industrial base and ensure a continuous production rate of 156 aircraft per year.
