Lockheed Martin has been given assurances by top Pentagon leaders that the F-35 program will not be negatively impacted by a potential U.S. Air Force buy of Boeing’s F-15X, Lockheed CEO Marillyn Hewson said Tuesday.
“If they choose to have an order of the F-15, it won’t be at the expense of F-35 quantities,” she told investors during an earnings call.
“I'm hearing that directly from leadership in the Pentagon, and I think that's an important point for me to make. It's not just our suspicion, but I've been told that directly.”
마릴린 휴슨 록히드 회장은 미 국방부에서 F-15 추가구매 논의가 있는 것은 맞고, 다만 F-35구매수량을 줄여서 F-15를 구매하지는 않겠다는 확답을 국방부 최고위층에서 받았다고 합니다.
On Friday, Gen. Dave Goldfein, the Air Force’s chief of staff, confirmed to Defense News that the service will procure new F-15s if the budget grows enough to allow it, but that the F-35 program of record would remain the same with no slowdown to the buy rate.
Goldfein added that the Air Force wants to increase fighter procurement to 72 aircraft a year.
미공군 참모총장 데이브 골드페인은 F-15를 구매할 예산이 확보가 되면 구매를 하겠고 F-35 구매는 줄이지 않고 그대로 간다고 합니다.
추가로 골드페인 참모총장은 미 공군이 전투기 구매수량을 연간 72대로 확대하고 싶다고 합니다. F-35연간 구매수량이 60대로 고정되어 있으니, F-15X 12대를 여기에 추가하겠다는 거지요. 도합 72대.
The National Interest’s Dave Majumdar put the Air Force’s skepticism more bluntly: “It’s amazing this Boeing sales pitch is being swallowed hook, line, and sinker by the trade press . . . The Air Force will never buy this jet. It is useless inside heavily defended airspace if we are dealing with any sort of real military force.”
일부에서 신봉하는 내셔날 인터레스트의 기레기 Dave Majumdar가 미공군이 F-15를 구매할리가 절대로 없다고 작년 11월에 주장했지만, 미공군 참모총장이 확인사살 했습니다. 진짜로 사려고 한다고요.
