The F-35C fighter jet belonging to the United States crashed on the deck and fell into the water while trying to land on the aircraft carrier named USS Carl Vinson during an exercise in the South China Sea last Monday. Authorities stated that the pilot of the plane was able to eject himself at the time of the crash and 6 sailors on board were injured.
It is stated that this aircraft, which is stated to be worth more than 100 million dollars, is equipped with the most expensive and most advanced technologies and is of great importance. It should be noted that the wreckage of the F-35C has not been reached yet. For this reason, even a competition between countries has started. It is reported by experts that in addition to the USA, rival countries may also try to reach the wreckage and are planning to learn about the technology used.
A video taken before the moment of the fall has emerged
Now, there has been an important development regarding this accident. In a video that spread rapidly on social media, it turned out that the moment before the crash of the plane was recorded. The footage shows the plane approaching the deck, after which a loud noise is heard. But the video cuts out without showing the collision. In addition, a few photos of the plane began to spread on the Internet. In the photos, it can be seen that the plane crashed into the water and the ejection seat was missing.
Searches for the wreckage of the plane continue rapidly. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also made a statement about the wreckage. Stating that they have “no interest”, the ministry said that it called on the US Navy to contribute to peace and stability instead of showing power at every opportunity. Although China made such statements, many sources from around the world stated that the country competed with the United States in the search for the plane.
