Le F-15 EX me semble avoir été imposé par l'administration trump parce que maintenant l'usaf semble ne pas vouloir aller au dela de 80 ex. De toute
manière au plus on a envisagé 144 avions et puis le F-15Ex n'est pas plus économique à l'usage que le F-35 qui lui peut compter massivement sur la simulation
pour limiter l'ardoise.
I'USAF aura quand même le droit à 24 f-15EX en plus grâce au budget FY23.

"
In July 2022, the Department of Defense announced a contract for F-35 Joint Strike Fighters
(JSF) covering production lots 15 through 17. corresponding to fiscal years 2021 through 2023 . This
contract encompasses 230 United States aircraft previously appropriated by Congress or requested in the
fiscal year 2023 President's budget request.
Due to multiple factors, the cost of this contract exceeds
available and requested funds by $1,825,600,000 once all relevant factors are considered, putting 19
aircraft at risk of being lost. Through a combination of congressional increases and excess funds
transferred from elsewhere within the JSF program, the agreement provides resources to cover this
shortfall. allowing for the restoration of all 19 at-risk aircraft, including I I F-35A, one F-358, and seven
F-35C aircraft in fiscal year 2023 and prior years. The Program Executive Officer (PEO), F-35 Joint
Program Office (JPO) is directed to report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 90
days after the enactment of this Act, on how these additional funds will be applied to the lot 15- 17
contract.

En gros LM (et PW ?) a fait grimper les coûts prévu initialement sur le f-35. Il a fallu que le congrès rajoute au pot. Mais il n'y aura pas plus de F-35 que prévu initialement.
