Germany got the go-ahead to buy F-35 fighter jets produced by U.S. defence giant Lockheed Martin
(LMT.N) as part of military procurement projects worth 13 billion euros ($13.85 billion), Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said on Wednesday.
The German parliament's budget committee approved the spending, including 10 billion euros for the F-35 jets as well as funds for the purchase of encrypted
digital radios and assault rifles.

Ujerumani imeweka hiyo oda Decemba mwaka jana ili kuimarisha jeshi lake la anga kama jibu la uvamizi wa Urusi huko Ukraine.
Poland, UK, Australia na nchi zisizo wanachama wa NATO kama Japan pia wametoa oda kwa Lockheed kununua F-35.
F-35 ndiye mfalme mpya wa anga kizazi cha 5, 'stealth features zake, manuverbility' ni za kipekee.

But unlike the Harrier, the F-35B and its Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) system offers both vertical landing and long-range supersonic speed in one unit, creating a stealthy, lightning-fast fighter capable of carrying advanced weaponry.
