The U.S. Department of Defense resumed accepting F-35 jet deliveries from Lockheed Martin Corp. last week after reaching an agreement on covering the costs to fix a production error, the Pentagon said Monday.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The cost of the fix was $119 million, people familiar with the situation had previously said.
