In a procurement application recently submitted to Congress, the US Air Force has reduced its request for F-35 fighter jets by half, from the initially planned 48 to 24 aircraft. This adjustment impacts Lockheed Martin, the largest defense contractor in the United States. This decrease may indicate that the Air Force is reallocating its budget for fiscal year 2026 to align with the 8% cut in military spending proposed by the Secretary of Defense over the next five years.
