The U.S. Pentagon and Lockheed Martin have reached a 10-year agreement to produce 850 F-35 fighter jets. The specific value of the agreement was not disclosed, but Lockheed President Jim Taiclet stated that the move solidifies the F-35's position as "the critical front-line fighter for the free world." F-35 fighter jets have been widely used in the U.S.-Israel war against Iran, with each aircraft costing over $100 million.
