I'm sure the Russians are quaking and quivering.The combined Nordic Air Force would feature ~135 F-35 II airframes across Norwegian, Finnish, & Danish squadrons.
The Swedish Gripen E would likely handle Strike and receive targeting from the F-35.
Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark struck a deal to run their 200+ advanced fighter jets as a single fleet, creating a new headache for Russia
They can’t build em fast enough. Line is around the block.$1.7 trillion.., no wonder congressmen are fighting over MIC contracts.
Military Contractors Square Off Over F-35 Jet Engine Program

The current engine design is already a decade old. They’re going to find a new engine for sure. And the F-35 will be the premier attack aircraft of all NATO countries. No wonder his jimmies are getting wadded up
They are going to be everywhere. We are going to need more engine suppliers.The current engine design is already a decade old. They’re going to find a new engine for sure. And the F-35 will be the premier attack aircraft of all NATO countries. No wonder his jimmies are getting wadded up
By new engine I meant either a new offering by GE (they’ve always stalked anyway) or major design update by P&W. Driven by the detailed post you provided. It is an aggressive design and they really did a decent job. The whole platform is game changing. But it’s already a decade old and just as they’re doing on sensors and computers they’re going to do the same on the power plant. It’s warranted.New 3 stream motor was cancelled in favor of new F-135 core which will not be ready until 2030.
