Don't worry, the Chinese government will find a way to steal America's defense secrets as usual lol.

As Erdogan now is accusing USA on daily basis, will USA suspend the delivery of F35 to TAF?

Trump is a good boy for Turkey, so it won't. Problem was Democrats.

WASHINGTON

The U.S. and aerospace giant Lockheed Martin announced Friday that they have reduced the cost of the F-35A substantially, bringing its price tag below the $100 million mark for the first time.

The A model will now run $94.6 million, down 7.3 percent from the previous order.

The F-35A is the conventional takeoff and landing variant of the stealth jet fighter used by the Air Force. It represents 85 percent of all crafted F-35's, according to the Pentagon.

The short takeoff and vertical landing B model used by the Marines and the U.K. will run $122.8 million per unit. And the F-35C used on aircraft carriers will cost $121.8 million.

F-35 Program Executive Officer Lt. Gen. Chris Bogdan said in a statement the new contract "is a good and fair deal for the taxpayers, the U.S. Government, allies, and Industry".

In total, the agreement saves $728 million, Lockheed Martin and the Pentagon said in a statement.

Lockheed said it was able to lower costs based on an increased number of requested planes, which allowed it to take "advantage of economies of scale and production efficiencies".

The new order consists of 76 F-35A's for the U.S. and its allies, 12 F-35B's for the U.S. and UK, and 2 F-35C's for the U.S. Navy.

President Donald Trump's "personal involvement" in the negotiations "accelerated" the talks and "sharpened our focus on driving down the price", Lockheed said.

In all, the F-35 program currently plans to produce more than 3,000 aircraft, with greater than 600 to be delivered to Washington's international allies, including Turkey.

The Pentagon said the new order includes 55 jets for the U.S. and 35 planes for international partners. Turkey is set to receive 2 F-35A's.
