The US military is facing worsening delivery delays for its advanced F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters, according to a new government watchdog assessment. A report released Wednesday by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that most F-35s delivered in 2023 by contractor Lockheed Martin and engine maker Pratt & Whitney were late, arriving an average of 61 days behind schedule.
