WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Deliveries of F-35 jets to the U.S. military have resumed, but the U.S. government is withholding the final $5 million payment for each jet until the completion of a long-delayed technology upgrade, the F-35 Joint Program Office said on Thursday. The U.S. resumed taking F-35 deliveries of the jet this summer after a months-long pause despite the jet’s Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) running behind schedule. Deliveries trigger a payment to Lockheed Martin, but withholding $5 million per jet will impact Lockheed’s profit margin, and push the company to resolve this issue which it has said will still take months.
