Lockheed Martin Corp., Boeing Co. and Eurofighter submitted bids in a $7 billion South Korean fighter contest as U.S. and European defense contractors look to Asian markets to counter slower spending at home.
Boeing’s F-15 Silent Eagle, Lockheed’s F-35 Lightning II and the Eurofighter Typhoon will compete for the tender, South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration said in an e-mailed statement on its website. Today was the deadline for submitting bids.
