Australia is yet to formally decide on the total purchase of F35 Joint Strike Fighters (JSF) from the US, but the director of the Pentagon's F35 program says the planes are getting cheaper over time.
澳大利亚还没有正式确定从美国购入F35的总数，但五角大楼F35项目主管声称飞机正在变得越来越便宜。
Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan says he is confident that by 2019 each of the stealth fighter bombers could be delivered for between $US80 million and $US85 million.
克里斯·丹中将称他非常有信心在2019年每个隐形战斗轰炸机价格将下降到8000万美元到8500万美元之间。
The first two of Australia's initial order of 14 F35s are expected to be delivered this year at a cost of just under $US130 million each.
澳大利亚最初的两个订单,一共14架F35，应该在今年以1.3亿美元以内的单价完成转交。
Federal Cabinet's national security committee is expected to endorse the next tranche of JSF orders when it meets next month.
联邦内阁国家安全委员会希望下一批F35订单在下个月就可以签署协议。
That should bring the total on order by Australia to 72 planes.
那么就会使澳大利亚的订单总数达到72架。
The Chief of Air Force, Geoff Brown, says he is still hoping the eventual number of RAAF operated F35s will reach 100.
空军首脑杰奥夫.布朗称他始终希望澳大利亚皇家空军的F35总数达到100架.
