ITALY-US-FIGHTER JETS-F35-DEMO
Protestors hold banners against the purchase of F35 fighter jets by the
Italian Senate on July 15, 2013. Italy's ruling coalition averted a split over a motion to scrap its purchase of 90 Lockheed Martin F35 fighter jets by agreeing to seek parliament's approval before going ahead with further spending on the program. Italy plans to spend 11.8 billion euros ($15.43 billion) on the jets over 45 years, starting in 2015 as the deal includes maintenance contracts for state-controlled defence group Finmeccanica, as Italy's aerospace industry is a development partner in the F35 project and Italy has already invested about 2 billion euros in it. Italy is among nine countries are involved in developing the F35 with Canada, the United States, Britain, Netherlands, Australia, Norway, Denmark and Turkey. AFP PHOTO/ Filippo MONTEFORTE
