As it turned out, one of the components of the engine is made in China. As a result, followed predictable reaction of the main U.S. military — Assembly of the F-35 has been suspended.

As explained by the Agency for management of defense contracts (DCMA), this alloy is "does not meet the requirements of the Supplement to the Federal procurement regulations (DFARS)". The military tried to justify the situation. In their opinion, this item is not able to cause harm to the fighter and, even more so, somehow, to prevent reconnaissance missions of the U.S. armed forces. However, not everyone shares this optimism. According to opponents, is an outright blunder by the developer of the F-35 — Lockheed Martin, flagrant violation of the Law for the purchase of American aircraft, which is now her long-suffering offspring could become hostage to the deteriorating every day of relations between the US and China.
