US authorities ask locals for help in finding missing F-35 jet — Authorities say they are searching for the $80m jet around two lakes in the state of South Carolina::Authorities say they are searching for the $80m jet around two lakes in the state of South Carolina.
Better question is why, at $80m per plane, they cant find a way to track these assets even when they crash
Because they spent $80 million dollars to make it untraceable so it wouldn’t get shot down.
If your plane crashes over unfriendly territory, you don’t want to make it easier for them to get their hands on it.
Exactly, I feel like even admitting they can’t find it is a operational security blunder?
Or just really good marketing. (for LMT)
