Manufacturers of the fifth-generation American F-35 fighter jet and the fourth-generation French Rafale fighter jet have begun to have problems with suppliers, as well as creating supply chains. This is reported by Military Watch Magazine.
The material says that due to production problems, less than 50 aircraft are expected to be produced this year, but earlier it was planned that the number would reach 156. Software update problems were reported to manufacturers Lockheed Martin fighters.
The French company Dassault Aviation, which is the manufacturer of Rafale fighters, reported problems with logistics. Because of this, it is unable to pick up the pace and keep up with the total order volume of 160 units per year.
