Moscow plans to provide the Russian Air Force two strategic bombers—new and modernized Tu-22, Tu-95, or Tu-160 bombers—every three years, reports the Russian news and information agency. The Russian Air Force got an upgraded Tu-160 last year and will get another next month.
It'll take up to 18 months for Lockheed Martin to deliver the 100 or so F-35s that went directly from production line to storage, awaiting the completion of Tech Refresh 3 testing. Customers haven't complained about the order in which the backlog is being delivered.
