Japan's F-35 business plan

Japan's F-35 business plan...

Two Japanese contractors will supply 24 components for the next-generation F-35 stealth fighters for the Air Self-Defense Force, which will push up the price by 50 percent, sources said.

A senior ministry official said tens of billions of yen in additional investments will be required if Japanese contractors are to produce 40 percent of the F-35's components.

And there are no proven go-to-war mission systems at this time.
