The US has blocked the sale of the F-22 fighter jet to other countries, including allies Japan.
The new Obama administration announced only four more orders of the aircraft in April capping the production of the F-22 at 187 planes.
The F-22 is a stealth fighter, capable of evading radar and is seen as the premier fighter jet of the US Air Force.
