Greece will buy 30 additional F-16 Block 52+ aircraft, with an option for an additional 10 aircraft, to augment its current fleet of F-16 fighters, according to Lockheed Martin officials. The deal for the 30 aircraft is worth $1.2 billion to Lockheed. The company must deliver the new fighters by 2009. That’s good news for the Fort Worth crowd.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
