WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:LMT - news) has won a contract worth $1 billion to build 23 more F-22 Raptor fighter aircraft plus one test aircraft, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.


The order, for the sixth production batch of the radar-evading fighters, is to be wrapped up by February 2010, the Pentagon said in its daily contract summary.

A total of 131 Raptors are now under contract, with 83 already delivered to the Air Force, said Joseph Quimby, Lockheed's spokesman for the F-22 program.

The F-22 is built by Lockheed in partnership with Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA - news) and Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX - news) unit that makes the engines.

Finally the companies are working together to create one beast for the USAF.

Does anyone have an idea where the most of the F/A-22 are located at? Are they being used in Iraq by any chance?

Hiya there webby

No F/A-22 are used in Iraq, From what I have heard they are still going through their Doctrinal Integration. There is a order placed for 181, now an additional 23, There are some reports after the resignation of Rumsfeld USAF maybe able to get 100 more.

Which would bring it up to 304, Nice, wish we could have some(if can afford that outrageous price tag)..lol
