LONDON — Norway says European cooperation on the Lockheed Martin F-35 is “essential” to keep the operational costs of the aircraft down. Speaking in London April 29, Norwegian Defense Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide said: “If each country alone is to maintain its own aircraft, it will be too expensive. Collaboration is essential. Multinational solutions push prices down and provide opportunities for Norwegian industry to enter the field.”
