The military is forced to study the opportunity to continue the traditional maintenance structure, as it was before at least by the end of 2024. It is noted that the assistant of the Secretary of Defense for Security Christopher Lowman said they were working to obtain new logistics from F-35 fighters. It had to be based on the results, but Congress became the obstacle. Legislators require that the new agreement would increase the aircraft readiness or reduce the cost of maintenance F-35.
The Office of the Minister of Defense stated that the service program discussed with Lockheed Martin did not meet the requirements of Congress. "Accordingly, the Ministry suspends negotiations with Lockheed Martin regarding the F-35 PBL," the journalists received in the document. Logistics is currently as follows: Lockheed will receive payment for spare parts and a single basis. And the military proposes to attach payments for the results of the work performed.
