Stealth Saga #19

UCAV:

India is seeking upwards of 100 UCAVs from the United States, including the stealthy General Atomics Avenger.

PAK-FA:

Russia is offering India a new package and price for the PAK-FA, supposedly making the aircraft cheaper.

PAK-DA:

KRET's proposals for the PAK-DA's avionics are apparently done.   That would strongly imply the aircraft has not made much progress.

LRS-B:

Northrop is preparing to start expanding its Palmdale plant for the LRS-B work.

F-35:

Finland has kicked off its HX procurement program to replace the F/A-18C/Ds.  One of the contenders is the F-35.

British Aerospace has started expanding its manufacturing facility to build their portion of the F-35.

After all the drama, Canada may still buy the F-35.

Lockheed delivered 45 F-35s this past year.

Lockheed was awarded a $1.171 billion contract to manufacture more  F-35s: 80 F-35As, 7 F-35Bs and 4 F-35Cs.
