WASHINGTON - The Pentagon on Tuesday announced pricing details for its agreement with Lockheed Martin Co that lowers by 12.7% the cost of the F-35 jets it plans to purchase through 2022, which may encourage other nations to buy warplanes.
The F-35A, the most common version of the aircraft, will each cost $82.4 million in 2020, $79.17 million in 2021 and $77.9 million in 2022, the Pentagon told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday. The June agreement did not contain finalized pricing for the Pentagon’s purchase options for the jets in 2021 and 2022, because Congress has yet to approve budgets for those years.
“This puts the cost per unit below our earlier forecasts,” Norwegian Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen said in a statement. More U.S. allies have been eyeing a purchase of the stealthy jet including Finland, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.
