Japanese Defense Minister Naoki Tanaka made it clear on Wednesday that he will cancel the order for the F-35 if the price for the plane rises or delivery is delayed.
“If it turns out they cannot meet what they have proposed by that time, that would raise concerns about our defense capability,” Tanaka told parliament.
“I believe we would need to consider as a potential option matters like cancelling our orders and starting a new selection process if that is the case.”
