Norja tosin ostaa koneet vähitellen 6 koneen erissä.
Näemmä olisivat osittain samaa erää kuin meidän koneet.
Mutta saataisiin halvemmalla?
Jos me ja Norja tilaamme 60 konetta samasta tuotantoerästä, niin Norja maksaa koneistaan 3.5% meitä vähemmän koska on partnerimaa. Muuten koneet ovat saman hintaiset.
Osan koneistaan Norja tilasi ensimmäisisssä, erittäin kalliissa alkutuotantoerissä.

As part of its budget request for 2017, the Norwegian military asked for funding to purchase 12 more of the Lockheed Martin Corp.-made stealth fifth-generation fighters beginning in 2019. The government — whose first four F-35s are currently at
Luke Air Force Base in Arizona — plans to buy a total of 52 of the aircraft.
If the request for a bulk order is authorized, Norway would become the first F-35 customer to enter into such a contracting arrangement. Separately, the Norwegian military
is considering basing 300 U.S. Marines in the country to be able to better respond to Russian aggression in the region.
Joe DellaVedova, a spokesman for the F-35 program office, said Norway’s announcement “was expected” and that other allies involved in the acquisition program are considering the contract as
part of a plan to buy roughly 450 planes during a three-year period ending in 2020.
“Due to vast economies of scale, all countries will achieve significant reductions on the price of their jets,” he said in a statement to Military.com. “The $80-85 million number often referenced for the cost of an F-35A in 2019 — is right in the middle of the expected block buy.”
