The U.S. faces a race to beat China in recovering an F-35 stealth fighter that plunged into the South China Sea on Monday after what the Navy termed a 'landing mishap' aboard the USS Carl Vinson.
The pilot was forced to eject and seven military personnel in total were injured. The $100m warplane, customised for naval operations, plunged overboard, the US 7th Fleet said - making it the second time in three months that an F-35 has been lost overboard. 'An F-35C Lightning II assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2, embarked aboard USS (CVN 70) had a landing mishap and impacted the flight deck and subsequently fell

What a kerfluffle about nothing. It's China. They already have access to all our secret technology. They bought it.

I thought we gave everybody all that secret tech stuff when we gave away the Blackhawks and Humvees in Afghanistan.

We've already sold our soul to China...they were allowed to take over furniture, textiles, meds, clothing, shoes, appliances, auto parts, apple, electronics, flooring, house hold items...while the politicians slept & bought China stock.

Biden has several carrier groups doing "Show of prowess" exercises there...shadowed by Chinese fleets, LOTS of chinese subs, and they are soooo intimidated that they do pistol shot distance flybys whenever the want...

The Taliban, with "their" equipment, should be able to find it soon.

China has already stolen everything they have... In fact they are ahead of us... and in many cases we GAVE them the technology.

No worries I am sure the commies already have it since they can hack our military manufacturing complex at the touch of a mouse button.

Who here doesn't think China already has the F35 plans?

This is what I said in the earlier thread. Any crash with an ejection means that the bird likely went over the side.
My first thought was - we have to get it before the ChiComs do.

I seriously doubt that the ChiComs have all the technical data on the F-35. A bunch of it is no big deal, but there are a lot of details that are important, and that I am sure that they do not have access to, YET.

An F-35? Let them have it -- that clown show will set them back 20 years.

Our military reporting the crash and letting the media splash the crash all over the world media was not a very wise idea if they wanted to keep the jet and it's plans a secret! Giving the location of our secret stuff sitting at the bottom of the sea is never a wise idea. While the Chinese, Russians, and every other bad actor watched the crash by spy satellite, we did not need to advertise it.

Not in the story...... Written on the tail, in Sharpie, is a message. It reads: Your Welcome. Hugs and Kisses, Brandon.

Most of the hardware is no big deal. Everyone uses the same aluminum and electronic components, with the exception of some our complex FPGA's. And while I'm sure they would love to get their hands on the radar-absorbing polymer skin for analysis, the chief advantage we still have over them is the firmware flashed onto those chips - the brains that enable the aircraft to think and do the things it does.

The Chinese wont have to look very hard. Just watch for the rainbow flags painted all over it.

A whole lotta ignorance there #16. A relative is an F-35 pilot, and it is an exceptionally capable aircraft. Believing the Enemedia's lies and smears just makes a person gullible, not informed.
