Summary
Lockheed Martin Corp. has been awarded a contract worth as much as $35 billion from the US Defense Department to quadruple production of missile-defense interceptors as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to bolster munitions output. Less than a month ago Lockheed broke ground on the Troy facility, which is a 87,000 square foot production plant with a notable name of “Building 47,” potentially a nod to President Donald Trump as the 47th president. Turkey had acquired the system in 2019 – the US subsequently excluded Ankara from a project to develop the F-35 fighter jet and later sanctioned the Turkish Directorate of Defense Industry.
Furthermore, Two weeks before the NATO summit in Ankara, US President Donald Trump has promised Turkey a return to the F-35 fighter jets armament project.
