As Turkey formally leaves the F-35 fighter jet program following US sanctions, its contribution to cheaper product parts will also cease to exist. This will shoot up the overall cost of the fighter jet, the US’ most expensive weapons program to date.
Matthew Bromberg, the head of the military engines division of Pratt & Whitney, the contractor for the F135 engine for Lockheed Martin F-35 jets, has said that the cost of the engine is bound to increase by 3% as a result of Turkey’s exit, Defense News reported.
“[Turkish products] are some of the most critical parts of the engine, and the Turkey suppliers were high-quality low cost,” Bromberg said during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on April 22.
