The Italian government has budgeted  7 billion euros ($7.79 billion) for the acquisition of 25 additional F-35 fighter jets in 2024.

If approved by the parliament, the procurement will expand the Italian Air Force’s F-35 fleet to 115.

Also included is the purchase of engines, equipment and logistics support until 2035, il Giornale reported, citing a defense budget document.

Italian F-35 Fleet

A total of 90 F-35s are already on order by Rome, including 60 conventional takeoff F-35As for the Italian Air Force and 15 short takeoff vertical landing F-35Bs each for the Italian Air Force and the Italian Navy. 

The additional batch includes 15 F-35As for the Italian Air Force and five F-35Bs each for the two services.

The overall defense procurement of 9.3 billion euros ($10.3 billion) includes an investment of 506 million euros ($563 million) for the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), an increase over the 271 million euros ($301 million) invested in 2023, according to Defense News.

The GCAP is a next-generation fighter jet program, comprising Italy, the UK, and Japan.

Additional Spending

Additionally, 50 million euros ($55 million) has been budgeted to adapt Italy’s new Landing Helicopter Dock, the Trieste, to host F-35Bs.

It also reveals that Italy has added 690 million euros ($767 million) to the ongoing Eurofighter program fund for the purchase of 24 fourth-tranche jets to replace 26 first-tranche aircraft, which are set to retire by 2029.

Overall, the country’s 2024 defense spending will increase to 20.85 billion euros ($23 billion), up from 19.56 billion euros ($22 billion) in 2023.

The US State Department on Friday said it had approved the sale of dozens of F-35 fighter jets to its NATO ally Romania, a deal worth $7.2 billion.

The contract, which must still be approved by the US Congress, covers Bucharest’s purchase of 32 F-35A aircraft and related equipment, produced by the US aerospace and defense giant Lockheed Martin.

“This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that is an important force for political and economic stability in Europe,” a State Department statement said.

The contract announcement comes as Ukrainian pilots began training this week at a special center in Romania on F-16s, US-made fighter jets that Washington has approved Kyiv to use to repel Russia’s invasion.

Romania occupies a strategic position at the gateway to Ukraine and the Black Sea, and aims to become an international hub for F-16 training.

It inaugurated an F-16 training center at its Fetesti air base in November 2023, pledging to also train Ukrainians there.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met his Romanian counterpart Luminita Odobescu on Thursday, thanking Bucharest for delivering a Patriot missile defense system to Ukraine.

The State Department also announced the approval on Friday of a $4.1 billion sale to Japan of a KC-46A aerial refueling tanker.

Lockheed Martin recently rolled out the first F-35A Lightning II fighter jet for the Polish Air Force.

An unveiling ceremony was held at a company facility in Texas, with Polish deputy national defense ministers Paweł Bejda and Cezary Tomczyk in attendance.

According to Lockheed, this “significant milestone” for Warsaw will further strengthen the alliance between the two NATO countries.

It will also boost the European nation’s ability to defend its borders amid the increased tensions in the region.

“I am proud to be part of history today, introducing the F-35 as the next generation, which will protect and defend Poland’s future for many years,” Polish Air Force official Major General Ireneusz Nowak said.

In 2019, Poland ordered 32 F-35 combat jets from the US in a $4.6 billion deal.

‘Powerful Force Multiplier’

A fifth-generation aircraft, the F-35A is the US Air Force’s replacement for the legacy F-16 Fighting Falcon and A-10 Thunderbolt.

It features state-of-the-art sensors, tactical data links, and armaments that make it a “powerful force multiplier” for militaries worldwide.

According to Lockheed Martin official Greg Ulmer, the F-35 will be critical in ensuring that Warsaw is able to effectively deter and defeat threats to its national security.

Tomczyk also highlighted the important role the new warplanes will play, as Poland is the only country in the world with a common border with Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.

“In order to keep these borders as they are, we need the best equipment, the best capabilities, and the best friends,” he said. “And as my American friends often say: ‘A true friend is the one who arrives when the rest of the world walks away.’”

Once delivered, Poland will become the first F-35 operator in Eastern Europe.

The Canadian Department of Defence has begun construction of a Quick Reaction Alert facility at the Bagotville base in Quebec.

The site will house Ottawa’s future F-35A combat aircraft fleet and support North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) operations in partnership with the US military.

The 7,400-square-meter (24,278 square feet) center will incorporate hangar bays, administrative spaces, and staff quarters. Surrounding the hub is a 17,000-square-meter (55,774 square feet) protected field for additional capabilities.

Work on the facility is valued at 120 million Canadian dollars ($87.3 million) and is expected to sustain approximately 600 jobs in the region.

The construction is led by Saint-Georges firm Pomerleau Inc. and will conclude in 2027.

“For decades, NORAD has ensured the defence of North American aerospace,” Defence Minister Parliamentary Secretary Marie-France Lalonde said.

“Today, we are reaffirming our commitment to this unique binational command, and investing in new infrastructure so that Canadian Armed Forces members can effectively deploy fifth-generation fighter jets in support of NORAD’s mission.”

“Our government will continue to invest in new military infrastructure that supports the combat power of the Canadian Armed Forces.”

NORAD Modernization Plan

The Bagotville project is part of Ottawa’s broader 38.6-billion Canadian dollar ($28.1-billion) NORAD Modernization Plan announced by the government in 2022.

Construction of the center is funded by the initiative’s Defence of Canada Infrastructure Project, which oversees large infrastructure upgrades benefitting the nation’s fighter jets, NORAD alliance, and overall continental defense.

Meanwhile, the Royal Canadian Air Force’s incoming F-35As will consist of up to 88 units. The fleet was purchased from Lockheed Martin through a $14.2-billion US foreign military sale in 2023.

The Canadian defense agency noted that the Bagotville Quick Reaction Alert center will also support Operation Noble Eagle, an ongoing NORAD deployment focusing on 24/7 aerospace warning, control, and associated missions in North America.

“This investment in Bagotville will enable our personnel at the base to plan, posture, and deploy our new fleet of CF-35A fighters rapidly and effectively,” Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair said.

“Today’s milestone is a clear sign of Canada’s commitment to modernizing our NORAD infrastructure and capabilities in support of the continental defence mission.”

“In close collaboration with our American allies, our government will continue to make the necessary investments to protect North America as our continent faces new security challenges.”

Pennsylvania-based Triumph Group has announced the extension of repair and technical services for Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

The agreement builds on the consortium’s long-term partnership to supply and sustain Hydraulic Utility Actuation Valves (HUAV) for the F-35 program since 2014.

Work for the initiative will continue at Triumph’s Clemmons, North Carolina, center over the next five years.

Corresponding tasks will be managed by Triumph’s Actuation Products & Services segment, which covers design, assembly, manufacturing, and maintenance of hydraulic, electro-mechanical, and mechanical actuation components, subsystems, and landing gear for defense and aerospace users.

Bolstering F-35 Performance

Triumph’s proprietary HUAV product is the F-35’s primary hydraulic directional flow control for vital aircraft functions.

In 2020, the company received a four-year contract to supply the valves for the aircraft. This followed a similar agreement for the F-35 fleet stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station in Cherry Point, North Carolina.

Alongside the HUAV, Triumph delivers titanium hot-form machined exhaust screens for the jet’s F-35 blocker doors.

“TRIUMPH’s support to the F-35 program, Lockheed Martin, and the warfighters and maintainers who expect and demand fleet readiness is a reflection of our growing military aftermarket presence,” Triumph Actuation Product & Services President Natasha Trudeau said.

“As a market leader in hydraulic power generation and actuation, our Clemmons team will provide exceptional service to Lockheed Martin and their customers over the next five years. We look forward to supporting Lockheed Martin on this and future readiness opportunities.”

Triumph Services in Other Aircraft

Triumph has supported multiple US military aviation systems in addition to the F-35 combat aircraft.

In 2022, the company signed a separate, long-term agreement to manufacture brake valves for the F-16 Fighting Falcon.

Simultaneously, Triumph won another contract to support the Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion helicopter’s rotor blade folding, associated damper system, and brakes.

The CH-53K project was launched in 2021 and initially focused on the supply of the platform’s blade fold actuation and damping systems.

Lockheed Martin’s latest Sniper targeting pod allows interoperability between F-35s, fourth-generation aircraft, and ground-based artillery systems such as the HIMARS.

The externally-mounted Sniper pod enables fourth-generation fighters such as the F-16, F-15, and A-10 real-time targeting capability from the cockpit.

Its enhanced version, the Sniper Networked Targeting Pod, enables a fifth-generation F-35 to share targeting and surveillance information with its fourth-generation counterparts.

Interoperable 

Similarly, it allows the sharing of information with ground-based command and control systems, enabling the employment of the MLRS family of munitions from either the HIMARS or M270.

“To deliver unprecedented interoperability, we’ve evolved Sniper to do what’s never been done before,” Lockheed Martin Vice President of Sensors & Global Sustainment Stacy Kubicek said.

“The Sniper Networked Targeting Pod connects the battlespace, enabling seamless data sharing across platforms and systems — a capability in high demand by US and allied forces and a powerful force multiplier for joint operations.”

Improves Precision Fires

The system’s development is in response to the need for interoperability between fourth and fifth-generation fighters, as each brings individual attributes to the table. 

It also seeks to address the need for target-tracking data from aircraft sensors to improve ground-based precision-fire capability against moving targets.

“The F-35 is the aircraft of choice for allies across NATO. By 2035, there will be more than 600 F-35s in the European region,” VP of F-35 Business Development JR McDonald said.

“The enhanced capabilities the Sniper targeting pod can bring will serve to further enhance the connectivity and interoperability the F-35 brings to current and future customers.”

The system has proven interoperability between air and ground systems in recent tests and demonstrations, with more complex tests involving flight testing and live missile shots being planned.

Greece has signed an agreement to formalize the acquisition of its first F-35 Lightning II fighter jets from the US.

The update follows Washington’s approval of the aircraft’s sale to Athens in January.

Lightning II developer Lockheed Martin, which will serve as the sale’s primary contractor, noted that Greece’s letter of offer and acceptance for the sale ordered 20 planes for the Hellenic Air Force.

The letter also includes an option for 20 more F-35s, depending on the service’s requirements.

“For several decades, the Hellenic Air Force has been our partner, and it is our honor to continue that relationship as Greece becomes the 19th nation to join the F-35 program,” Lockheed Martin F-35 VP and General Manager Bridget Lauderdale stated.

“The F-35 is the only fighter suitable to strengthen Greece’s sovereignty and operational capability with allies.”

Athens formalized a request to acquire the US-made combat aircraft in June 2022.

Supporting Allies in Modern Warfare

Lockheed said that the latest F-35 purchase adds to the growing utility of the aircraft across NATO and its allies.

The company highlighted that by the end of the decade, approximately 6,000 F-35s will be employed in over 10 European countries, including two full US squadrons stationed in Lakenheath, England.

In Greece, the presence of the jets is expected to boost “safeguarding” capabilities across the country and nearby allied airspace by playing a vital role in defeating modern-day adversaries.

“The F-35 will provide exceptional capability to the Hellenic Air Force, build interoperability between our allies and strengthen the combat effectiveness for all of NATO,” Lockheed said.

“The F-35’s growing presence across Europe is a powerful testament of alliance-based deterrence and is setting the foundation for NATO and allied nations’ next generation air power capability.”

Lockheed Martin Lightning II

The F-35 Lightning II has a wingspan of 35 feet (11 meters) and a fuselage length of 51.4 feet (15.7 meters).

It is powered by a Pratt & Whitney turbofan engine for a top speed of Mach 1.06 (1,308 kilometers/813 miles per hour), a range of 1,500 nautical miles (2,800 kilometers), and an altitude of up to 50,000 feet (15,000 meters).

The aircraft’s weapon suite includes rotary cannons, air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, anti-ship warheads, and guided and nuclear bombs.

Lockheed Martin has begun delivering the Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) configured F-35 aircraft to the US Air Force.

A pair of F-35 Lightning II were delivered each to Dannelly Field, Alabama and Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada last week, marking the resumption of deliveries after one year.

The delay occurred because of a hold-up in the integration of the new configuration into the new factory aircraft and the supply of some critical pieces of hardware, according to Defense News.

Phased Rollout

Therefore, a phased introduction of the TR-3 is being implemented, starting with a truncated solution.

“The first phase will deliver jets with initial training capability in July and August,” executive program director of the F-35 Joint Program Office Lieutenant General Mike Schmidt explained.

“By the end of August, we will deliver aircraft with robust combat training capability, while continuing towards the delivery of full TR-3 combat capabilities in 2025.”

The newly-delivered aircraft will not conduct combat flights until 2025, initially only flying for training.

Technology Refresh 3 

The TR-3 features upgrades such as a better display and increased computer memory and processing power, essential for a more expansive modernization called Block 4.

A Block 4 aircraft will have a new sensor suite, more long-range weapons, upgraded electronic warfare capability, more powerful data fusion, and increased cross-platform interoperability. 

“TR-3 and Block 4 represent a critical evolution in capability and their full development remains a top priority for us,” Lockheed Martin vice president and general manager of the F-35 Program Bridget Lauderdale said.

“These and further software updates over the life of the program will ensure the F-35 continues to be an effective deterrent and the cornerstone of joint all-domain operations now and decades into the future.”

Production Rate

Lockheed expects to deliver 75 to 110 aircraft in the second half of 2024, primarily in the TR-3 configuration.

Yearly production is expected to be 156 aircraft.

The US State Department has approved a second foreign military loan to Poland to clear the way for its planned procurement of F-35 fighter jets and other American defense systems.

Valued at $2 billion, the loan agreement is part of Warsaw’s ongoing military modernization effort to address rising threats in the region.

According to the announcement, the European nation will buy an undisclosed number of F-35 jets from Lockheed Martin on top of Patriot air defense missiles and Abrams main battle tanks.

Poland received its first military loan from the US, signed in September 2023, also for $2 billion.

Since it was clearly stipulated that the money should only be spent on US-made weapons, the country said it earmarked roughly half of the borrowed amount for the purchase of four aerostat-based early warning radar systems.

“Poland is a leader in NATO,” the department wrote, highlighting Warsaw’s contributions to Europe’s security interests. “[It is] currently spending four percent of GDP on defense, the highest in the alliance. Poland hosts thousands of US and allied forces.”

Preparing for Full-Scale Conflict?

Poland has apparently been one of the busiest NATO and European countries when it comes to bolstering its defenses.

It is among the nations most concerned by Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, apart from Kyiv, due to its proximity to the conflict.

Warsaw has so far sent more than 8 billion euros ($8.6 billion) in military aid to the war-torn nation and accepted the largest number of Ukrainian refugees.

This support has irked Moscow, with Russian President Vladimir Putin warning last year that his country “will use all means at its disposal” to defend its interests against Poland.

At a recent press conference, Polish Army Chief of Staff General Wieslaw Kukula said the country needs to prepare its soldiers for an all-out conflict amid the increasing tension in the region.

“Today, we need to prepare our forces for full-scale conflict, not an asymmetric-type conflict,” he said, adding that this will allow “us to find a good balance between the border mission and maintaining the intensity of training in the army.”

Earlier this year, a startling German intelligence report claimed that Moscow may launch an attack on a NATO member state by 2026.

Though no specific country was named, Poland is considered a likely target.
