The military chiefs have recommended buying 40 stealth jets for around $7.8 billion, with a contract award expected 2014, and delivery beginning in 2018. A follow-up order for 20 additional planes is open to other models. However, with delivery for that number projected for 2023, a contract for a more advanced jet than the F-15 is anticipated.
