The F-35 Lightning II, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), is shown in this March 2010 file handout photograph. The United States expressed interest on November 2, 2011 in selling its most sophisticated fighter to India, just six months after New Delhi rejected two older U.S. warplanes in a competition for an $11 billion contract. The U.S. Defense Department, in a report to Congress on U.S.-India security cooperation, said if New Delhi indicated an interest in Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Pentagon would be willing to provide information on the aircraft’s security and infrastructure requirements.REUTERS/Lockheed Martin Corp/Handout/Files (UNITED STATES – Tags: MILITARY POLITICS) FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY.
