F-35 Fighter Jet Lost Contact, Testing "Displacement" Again?
Flight tracking website (Flightradar24) data shows that on January 16, a U.S. Air Force "Lightning" fighter jet (F-35) is suspected to have lost contact near the sea off Aomori City, Japan.
According to the information, this aircraft took off from northern Honshu, Japan, and lost contact while preparing to turn over the area south of Aomori. Before losing contact, the aircraft sent an emergency code "7700."
However, it should be noted that neither the U.S. nor Japanese authorities have confirmed that there is a U.S. aircraft missing.
If the data from the flight tracking website and the "7700" emergency code are true, this would be the 13th "Lightning" aircraft lost by the U.S. military - based on known information, this aircraft probably went to test displacement again.
Looking back at recent years, the "Lightning" fighter jet seems to have a special fondness for "taking a seawater bath": from the South China Sea to the Mediterranean, and now to this possible new case in Japan, this fifth-generation aircraft that the U.S. military has high hopes for, is practicing "sea-air integration" at an astonishing frequency - although it's done through crashes.
