Why China Wants US F-35 That Crashed In South China Sea #shorts

Fears that subs from China, which claims the area, could be first to reach wreckage that plunged from deck of aircraft carrier to the bottom of the South China Sea after it crashed on an aircraft carrier and plunged overboard – taking with it highly classified technology that would be a coup if China retrieved it first.

The F-35C crashed-landed on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson during routine operations on Monday, the navy said, injuring six sailors and the pilot, who ejected from the plane before it fell into the sea.

The most advanced US fighter, a stealth plane costing over $100m, is packed with highly classified technology and if found would represent an intelligence boon for China, which claims almost all of the South China Sea as its own territory. The Vinson was on a patrol intended to challenge that territorial claim and defend international freedom of navigation.

The F-35C is a version of the plane specially designed to operate from aircraft carriers. Maritime experts have said it
could take a US salvage ship more than 10 days to reach the site of the crash, potentially giving Chinese submarines the opportunity to find it first.

That plane is recovered by now. They wouldn't announce losing it if not.

[CharlesDupree]

Being Ex-Navy, this is complete BS because there is no way that carrier group of ships would've left that area without recovering that stealth aircraft! No way!!!

[eyeizzbizzy]

Imagine if it’s a knock off jet equipped with data recording, numerous software viruses and a gps just to see what research facility picks it up. That would be a fun report to read in the morning.

[nithin]

Of course it was recovered. They just want the Chinese to go scrambling around searching for it.

As long as China doesn't get their grubby sticky hands on the A10, we'll be fine.

[BlessedWithLuck]

Why don’t they put on some sort of tracking device that if this sort of scenario was ever to happen you can self designate the plane so equipment or technology doesn’t get in enemy hands.

Here comes another sensational movie: The Hunt for Black November.

[thegreatken]

Damn a craft so stealthy that the navy didn’t even know it was gonna land

[grizzleyplays]

China after they find it : change the nose shape, j35

[marindedonpingue]

No water beacons? We install them on the Harrier. SMH.

[bluestarmkt]

No tracking device? Was it too expensive to put a tile in the airplane? Lol

[wabbitnred]

Landing mishap
They, the "fleet " should know exactly where that wreckage is.
It crashed on landing!

[duncanmcgee]

So youre telling me that:

The plane doesnt have a tracking device? If it can be identified on our own scopes then im sure it does.

The plane doesnt float for a little bit? Seriously any footage of any plane landing in water shows it floats for a little bit.

The carrier and none of the task force has a winch to recover the plane with? Theres absolutely no way they didnt think this could happen especially since they already had this stuff in WWII.

[haenjyun]

This is probably USN clickbait trolling to China, lol

[aaronmazur]

How do the US not know where the wreckage is? It literally fell off the ship. Look down. It couldn't have drifted that far. What am I missing

[paddlefaster]

Russia has the su 35... I don't think they really care about an F-35.

[sergeantliangplays]

I don't blame the Chinese for trying to get to the F-35 wreck, I would want one too lol

[davidbaker]

Should equip it with destruction equipment that activate upon seat ejection, etc… maybe it is equipped and waiting on someone else to set it off. Careful, it’s always the blue wire😂

[ExplosiveQuarry]

*sigh* who let the navy have a 5th gen aircraft... keep it to the air force please...

[austinrooks]

We can just tell China to not touch it
