3 sources · first reported 159d ago

Lockheed Martin delivered a record 191 F-35s, surpassing the previous record of 142 F-35s in 2021. The delivery was delayed due to the government refusing to accept new F-35s for a year between 2023 and 2024.

Why it matters

This record delivery is significant for the F-35 program, which is a critical component of the US military's airpower capabilities.
