The Pentagon has approved a $17.2 million contract with Lockheed Martin to support Greece’s integration into the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, it announced Monday, May 5.

The agreement will provide engineering, technical support, program management, and training to aid Greece as a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customer.

Work will be conducted across several US states—California, Texas, Florida, Maryland, and South Carolina—with 4% of the contract carried out in Lancashire, UK. Completion is expected by May 2028.

Greece is set to receive 20 F-35A stealth jets under an agreement signed last July. The F-35A can fly above 50,000 feet and has a range exceeding 1,350 miles, according to the US Air Force.
