It will be recalled that Finland signed an agreement to purchase 64 F-35 fighters in February 2022. Finnish Defense Minister Antti Kaikkonen signed an agreement on industrial cooperation in Helsinki. The agreement was signed with the manufacturer of Lockheed Martin fighters and Pratt & Whitney engines, which is part of the Raytheon Technologies group.
The country’s commitment to industrial participation is based on a decision taken by the Minister of Defense in April 2018, which stated that the cost of industrial cooperation should be at least 30 percent of the actual contract price. Source
