Lockheed Martin, a leading multinational aerospace manufacturer, announced Wednesday it is in talks with governments in the Asia-Pacific region to sell F-35 fighter jets.
According to the Wall Street Journal, George Standridge, Lockheed Martin's vice president for F-35s, said at the Singapore Air Show that the company aims to sell some 500 F-35 aircrafts to four likely buyers -- Japan, South Korea, Australia and Singapore -- that are positioned to upgrade their models.
The F-35 fighter has been described as a multi-role aircraft that can perform close air support, tactical bombing and air-to-air combat and is in high demand for its affordability, durability and because it can replace a wide range of aircraft.
