Odaily Planet Daily News The U.S. Pentagon, for the first time in over 20 years, has banned the public release of the annual report on the F-35 fighter jet program. The report, which is compiled at the request of the U.S. Congress, has been published annually since 2005. This year, classified information that should not be made public was discovered during the review process for the first time. The F-35 program has been repeatedly criticized for issues such as budget overruns, delays in engine delivery, postponements in software updates, and premature wear and tear of components.
