(Luft) Lockheed Martin F-35 - Lightning II

[NRKS]

Bezüglich der Sorge, dass Chinesen oder Russen Teile der Anfang April abgestürzten japanischen F-35 bergen oder zumindest "irgendwie vorher finden" könnten, kann man hier wohl etwas ruhiger sein. Immerhin scheinen die Japaner die Maschine nun gefunden zu haben.

Japan recovers part of crashed F-35 fighter jet

Flight recorder damaged while fuselage with secret stealth technology still missing

Japan has recovered part of the flight data recorder from an F-35 stealth fighter that crashed almost a month ago, but the fuselage with its highly sensitive technology is still missing.

Takeshi Iwaya, Japan’s defence minister, said that the search has found some components of the crashed jet at the bottom of the ocean. However, the flight data recorder was damaged and memory chips that could contain a record of the accident have not yet been located.

The crash of the F-35 into the ocean off north-eastern Japan on April 9 has sparked a search-and-recovery operation, both to protect the aircraft’s top-secret stealth technology, and to investigate the cause of the accident. [...] The F-35 is thought to have crashed around 135km east of Misawa air base in water with a depth of 1,500m.
