Lockheed piensa que se exagera con el coste del F-35 /Reports of F-35 problems, cost overruns are exaggerated, Lockheed says

La semana pasada se hablaba de los altos costes del F-35. La combinación de problemas técnicos y retrasos, además de los costes, le han dado fama de programa problemático.
Según Lockheed Martin estos informes son exagerados y equivocados.

Scarcely a week has gone by recently that the F-35 joint strike fighter hasn't generated headlines or been the subject of politicians' outrage in Washington.
The combination of missed schedules, technical problems and, most importantly, reports of skyrocketing costs gained the F-35 a lot of unwanted attention and the perception that it's a deeply troubled program.
That's not the case, say Lockheed Martin officials, who insist that the cascade of reports about problems and soaring costs is at best exaggerated and often wrong.
The cost issue, in particular, is a sore spot for Lockheed officials, who have winced repeatedly in recent weeks over government cost estimates that could undermine political support for the F-35.
