New Pentagon chief under scrutiny over perceived Boeing bias
In high-level Pentagon meetings, Shanahan has heavily criticized Lockheed Martin’s handling of the production of the F-35 fighter jet, which is expected to cost more than $1 trillion over the life of the program, according to one of the two sources, a former senior Defense Department official who was present.
Shanahan, this official said, called the plane “f---ed up” and argued that Lockheed — which edged out Boeing to win the competition to build the plane in October 2001 — “doesn’t know how to run a program.”
“If it had gone to Boeing, it would be done much better,” Shanahan said, according to the former official.
As the Pentagon's No. 2, Shanahan repeatedly "dumped" on the F-35 in meetings, calling the program "unsustainable," and slammed Lockheed Martin's CEO, Marillyn Hewson, according to the second source, a former Trump administration official. "'The cost, the out-years, it's just too expensive, we're not gonna be able to sustain it,'" this person said, quoting Shanahan.
======================================
보잉한테는 군수분야 수주 봄날이 왔고 록히드 한테는 혹독한 빙하시대가 왔네요.
록히드와 F-35비난을 넘어서 록히드 회장 개인도 비난받는 시대.
지금 한국공군이 F-35 추가로 산다고 하면 미 국방부가 F-15SE를 대신 밀것같음.
이미 미주방위군 전투기 교체물량은 F-35대신에 F-15X로 바뀌었고요.
