Description
Description | The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is a costly and controversial defense project involving the production and modernization of the F-35 fighter jet, the most expensive weapons platform in US history. The program has faced criticism for cost overruns, late deliveries, delays in software upgrades, and parts wearing out earlier than expected. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) annually reviews the program, but for the first time in over 20 years, the Pentagon has blocked the public release of the latest report due to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) concerns. |
