Military officials on Thursday confirmed that the Defense Department has temporarily suspended acceptance of new F-35 Joint Strike Fighters over corrosion issues.

The suspension has been in place "for a few weeks" but is not expected to impact any major training or operational missions, said Lt. Gen. Arnold Bunch, the Air Force's military deputy for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Acquisition at the Pentagon.
