There will be full-scale production of the F-35

The decision was made in the first half of March 2024 by William LaPlante, Under Secretary of defence for Procurement and Maintenance. A peculiar committee on the substance met on 7 March. The approval for full-scale production, i.e. the accomplishment of the alleged "C" milestone, is simply a immense success of the program, even though it was originally assumed that it would be released 4 years earlier. This was yet achieved after a series of 64 environmental tests were completed in September last year.
