Pentagon-ka ayaa ku dhawaaqay heshiis ku kacaya 34 bilyan oo doolar oo loogu talagalay dufcadda cusub ee diyaaradaha qarsoodiga ah ee shirkadda duulimaadka ee Lockheed Martin. Sida ku xusan qodobada heshiiska lagu dhawaaqay Talaadada, oo ay ku jiraan diyaaradaha Mareykanka iyo xulafadiisa, Wasaaradda Difaaca Mareykanka waxay soo iibsatay 478 diyaaradood. Ellen Lord, oo ah sarkaalka ugu sareeya ee Pentagon la wareegida, ayaa tiri "horumar baaxad leh ayaa la sameeyayInta udhaxeysa Pentagon iyo shirkada aerospace. "Tani waa guul taariikhi ah oo loogu talagalay barnaamijka F-35“Sayid baa yidhi. "Heshiiska ayaa laf dhabar u noqon doona Mareykanka iyo hantida jiilka shanaad ee mustaqbalka dhow".
Sayidku wuxuu kaloo intaas ku daray in Pentagon-ku uu diiradda saaray qodobbada heshiiska ku saabsan hubka cusub, yaraynta wadarta kharashyada, iyo la kulanka xilliyada dirista.
Sida laga soo xigtay xogta la sii daayay Talaadadii, qiimaha F-35, si kastaba ha noqotee, ma dhicin sida ay saraakiisha Pentagon rajeynayaan.
Qiimaha matoorka diyaaradda, oo ay sameysay Pratt & Whitney oo ka tirsan United Technologies, ayaan hoos ugu dhacaynin isla heerka diyaaradaha kale ee Lockheed Martin, sida uu warbaahinta u sheegay agaasimaha barnaamijka F-35 Lt. Gen. USAF Eric Fick. .
Saraakiisha Pratt & Whitney waxay sheegeen inay horey u jareen qiimaha mishiinka F135 - in ka badan kala bar - laga bilaabo 2009 ilaa 2018. Hada, shirkadu waxay qorsheyneysaa inay dhinto qiimaha kaliya boqolkiiba inta amarada, ayay tiri. afhayeenka John Thomas, oo sidoo kale cadeeyay in hoos u dhac dheeraad ah oo ku yimaada kharashyada lagu gaari karo oo kaliya cusboonaysiinta farsamada waaweyn.
Xog cusub oo ku saabsan qiimaha tusaale kasta oo barnaamijka ah ayaa la sii daayay maalin kadib markii Wasaaradda Difaaca Mareykanka ay ku dhawaaqday inay soo gabagabeeysay heshiiskii bilyan-doollar ee Lockheed Martin ee 478 F-35s.
Markii saraakiisha Pentagon ay ku dhawaaqeen Juuntii la soo dhaafay inay "heshiis adag" la gaareen Lockheed 478 F-35s, oo ah dufcaddii ugu ballaarneyd ee la iibsado ilaa maanta, waxay kaloo sheegeen inay filayaan "celcelis dhimista qiimaha Jet. ilaa 15% ". Ka dib markii la akhriyo xogta Talaadadii, dhimista ayaa la qiyaasey, hase yeeshe, boqolkiiba 12-13.
Qiimaha, sida laga soo xigtay dadka gudaha ah, dhammaan saddexda nooc ee diyaaradda ayaa sii wadi doona inay hoos u dhacaan saddexda sano ee soo socota. F-35A, nooca ay tijaabinayaan Ciidamada Cirka Mareykanka iyo inta badan xulafadiisa, waxaa la filayaa inuu hoos uga dhaco $ 89,2 milyan ilaa $ 77,9 milyan marka la gaaro sanadka 2022. F-35B, oo ah nooca soo degitaanka Marine Corps ayaa la filayaa inay hoos uga dhacdo $ 115,5 million ilaa $ 101,3 million, halka F-35C, dhanka kale, ay hoos uga dhici doonto $ 107,7 million ilaa $ 94,4 million.
Ellen Lord, Xogheyaha Difaaca ee la soo wareegida dhinaca warbixinta Pentagon ayaa tiri: "Heshiiskani wuxuu muujinayaa ballanqaadkeenna joogtada ah ee ah inaan si qancin leh u yareynno kharashyada F-35 si loogu dhiirrigeliyo warshadaha inay la kulmaan waxqabadka loo baahan yahay isla markaana ay u gaarsiiyaan awoodo horumarsan qiimaha ugu fiican canshuur bixiyeyaashayada. Lockheed, Lord ayaa intaas ku daray, wuxuu hagaajiyay waqtiyada dhalmada ilaa 96%, halka 64% uu ahaa sanadkii hore.
