  • “An unnamed foreign government is paying Lockheed Martin another $18.8 million to develop and integrate a version of the F-35 fighter jet built to its own specifications, the U.S. Department of War said on Oct. 15. For $18.8 million Lockheed might give you the option of a different seat colour. At this price, it doesn't really sound like something worth calling "custom F-35".”

  • “It's Israel. The only country ever allowed to have its own custom F-35, the F-35I, with custom avionics, targeting computers and also its own non ALIS/ODIN dependent mission computer is Israel (the ALIS/ODIN part is what's really important, since these need a Pentagon controlled decryption key to work).”

  • “Germany. Going to be called the F-35D for "Deutschland." I hear the F-35D's nuts.”
