The Japanese government has considered abandoning the missiles of the American company Lockheed Martin, according to the local newspaper Mainichi. The new shells require the modernization of the F-15 fighters. However, the cost of updating is not included in the budget for 2021. The Japanese are in no hurry to allocate an extra $2.2 billion for aircraft. The rise in price is caused by a shortage of necessary components, the Izvestia TV channel reports. If you can't agree on a discount, the missiles can be abandoned.
