No Actual Dollar-Figures Provided
Lockheed Martin and the Pentagon have announced they’re succeeding in driving down the F-35’s sustainment costs. Neither Lockheed nor the U.S. military's F-35 Joint Program Office disclosed actual dollar-amounts, but they did assure American taxpayers that the average, annual, per-aircraft cost of operating the U.S. Air Force’s, Navy’s, and Marine Corps’ F-35s fell between 2020 and 2021.
