A report says Lockheed Martin delivered recent F-35s without AN/APG-85 radars, and the mounting differences prevent fitting the earlier AN/APG-81 as a substitute. The deliveries could constrain the jets' combat roles, strain depots and suppliers, and prompt political and allied scrutiny of the F-35 programme.
