According to a report, the Pentagon will need to get clearance for the F-35 programme, which is in charge of these aircraft's affairs, to deliver 3,300 fighter jets without violating the embargo.
These forbidden components cannot be replaced by those aircraft that have already been delivered, according to the F-35 programme. According to its spokeswoman, replacing this component will be costly and time-consuming.
According to additional information, investigations are being conducted to determine why US law could not be considered in this situation. According to reports, this component is built specifically for it in China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.
