    "excerpt": "U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin has reached a framework agreement with the U.S. Defense Department to supply 850 F-35 stealth fighter jets over the next decade.

Specific pricing and delivery schedules will be set once Congress approves a multiyear contract and secures funding. The $78.2 billion figure is a minimum estimate, based on multiplying 850 jets by $92 million (about 121.9 billion won), the unit price of the cheapest variant. The F-35B, a short-takeoff and vertical-landing version for the Marine Corps, costs $121 million (about 160.4 billion won) per aircraft, while the Navy's F-35C...",
