Gaza: F-35 Aircraft

F-35 components produced in the UK are crucial to the production and support of the global F-35 fleet and UK produced components are present on every F-35 aircraft.

UK suppliers do not have control of the components once they are exported from the UK and are placed in the global spares pool or on the aircraft assembly lines.
