The U.S. Department of Defense has barred the public release of the annual report on the F-35 fighter jet program for the first time in more than two decades, according to Odaily. The report is prepared at the request of the U.S. Congress and has been published every year since 2005. This year, the Pentagon said its review process identified classified information that should not be disclosed publicly, marking the first time such a finding has prevented release of the document. The F-35 program has faced repeated criticism over the years, including budget overruns, delays in engine deliveries, postponed software updates, and parts wearing out earlier than expected. The move breaks a long-running pattern of annual disclosure tied to congressional oversight of the project.
