40 + 20 F-35s for South Korea - Maybe - All will be revealed 22 Nov 2013?

What is to discuss? Is this a surprise? Will the F-35 be cancelled? Stay tuned...

S. Korea Joint Chiefs set to back deal for 40 Lockheed F-35s -sources 15 Nov 2013 Andrea Shalal-Esa
"Nov 15 (Reuters) - South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff were expected to endorse an "all F-35 buy" of 40 Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 fighter jets and an option for 20 more at a meeting on Nov. 22, two sources familiar with the competition said on Friday....

...The sources said there was still a chance the committee that is chaired by the South Korean defense minister could reverse the expected Joint Chiefs decision, but that was seen as unlikely."
