Some mixed messages it seems; only a couple of days ago General Bogdan said they had no definitive target price for the F35 starting 2019 but the price has to come down no matter what, he said.
Also uncertainties continue past 2016 acc. to the General, what is certain that there will be no more future orders beyond 2400 for the US DoD, the US NAVY is still not 100% on board to take all of its F35's ,the latest promising successes with the X47 and SH are still a serious reason why the NAVY might choose to save some money and partially opt out of the JSF somewhere in the next decade.
Also the 78.7-106.5-87 million for the A-B-C is still without the engine, and with the original order volumes which is still a big IF, also all new discovered issues which lead to extra costs have to be paid by the customers from now on, and that's a big risk with so many things left untested.
What is certain is that LM, the Pentagon and the other parties involved have gotten the press fully under control, it is downright laughable to read article upon article in various press sources who are all literally identical word for word and no more than statements straight out of the LM press map.
