Netherlands may cut 17 to 33 F-35s from planned order of 85 jets

Reuters reported that Netherlands may cut 17 to 33 F-35s from its initial plans to buy 85 jets.

A defense source close to the talks said there was no chance of the Netherlands ordering as many as 85 F-35s. “This number is completely out of date,” the source said, adding discussions were focused on a procurement target of 52 to 68 planes.
