The F-35 supply halt occurred in the fall of 2023, erstwhile the first Block 4 machines began to descend from the production line. In July 2024, it was concluded that F-35 Block 4 could already be transferred to the customer. This decision was made due to the fact that all hardware for F-35 Block 4 was ready and software was developed for it in a safe school flight version. While it will gotta wait until 2025 for the mark version to be full used, this means that aircraft can now power military units.
