(Reuters) – Lockheed Martin (NYSE: ) has delivered a total of 110 F-35 fighter jets to the United States and its allies by 2024, the Bethesda, Maryland-based defense contractor said in a statement Wednesday.

The total delivery volume reached a high of between 75 and 110 jet deliveries, according to CEO Jim Taillet’s earnings call last summer.

Lockheed lifted its sales target in July after the Pentagon began taking deliveries of the F-35 following a months-long pause in software upgrades. Lockheed is upgrading the aircraft under the Technology Refresh 3, or TR-3, program that gives the F-35 better display and processing power.

Lockheed’s F-35 program contributes 30 percent of the company’s revenue.

“Lockheed Martin is fully committed to advancing and delivering unparalleled air superiority solutions for the United States and our allies, helping America continue to own the skies,” the company said in a statement.
