America vs China:
America is now working on a new plan to compete with China. America is planning to surround China from all sides through Australia, Japan, South Korea and Singapore.
It is said that more than 300 advanced fighter jets are going to be deployed in the Indo-Pacific region in the next decade. America will deploy these advanced F-35 fighter jets there through its allies. Due to this the demand for F-35 fighter jets in the Indo-Pacific is increasing rapidly.
However, all these planes are manufactured by Lockheed Martin Company of America. the US State department has approved the sale of 12 f-35B aircraft to Singapore by Lockheed Martin in 2020. 4 aircraft will be delivered by 2026. Singapore is also going to buy F-35 for air force.

by 2035, more than 300 F- 35 aircraft will be in the Indo-pacific region. This is claimed in Lockheed’s official release. Along with the supply of these aircraft, the company also plans to repair them. The company has built 3 maintenance, repair and upgrade centers in the north Asia region. Aircraft of Japan Air elf defense Force, US Air Force are accommodated here.
This is the specialty of the F-35
The specialty of F-35 is that this fighter aircraft is not only with America but also with Indo-Pacific countries such as Japan, Australia, South Korea and also with European countries. This advanced technology aircraft can be used in future wars. A pilot can plug into any F-35 network to get data across a multi-nation join force. It doesn’t have to be an America ship or a ship from any other country.
Why are you planning to surround China?
In recent years, China has added many advanced aircraft to its air force. There is speculation that China may soon have the largest air force in the world. Due to this, there is pressure on the US to increase its air power in the Indo-Pacific region. Many countries also do not like China’s stubborn attitude, hence this planning is going on.
