As encomendas do caça F-35 da Lockheed Martin

April 11, 2025 - Foi subscrito um número significativo de contratos com os Estados
Unidos para a compra de F-35, quer para expandir as esquadras existentes ou para substituir aviões mais antigos por caças da quinta geração.

The impetus for investment into the U.S. platform has been the lesson of the air war in Ukraine. Hindered both by modern as well as Cold War-era air defences, the conflict has shown that fourth-generation aircraft struggle on the battlefield.

And without control of the air, the fight on the ground in Ukraine has turned into a grinding, attritional struggle with echoes of World War I over a century before.

Several nations, therefore, have decided that despite the steep price tag compared to older fighters, the F-35, with its stealth capabilities, advanced sensors, and networking capabilities, is an increasingly necessary upgrade to prepare for future conflicts in an increasingly hostile environment, according to 19FortyFive.
