A US Navy fighter aircraft, the F-35, has disappeared. The plane’s final location was around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion north of JB Charleston in South Carolina. The aircraft was flying; such a malfunction came that the pilot had to eject.
There is no information about where the fighter aircraft fell. Now, the big challenge for the US Army is to find it. F-35 is the state-of-the-art fighter jet of America. It is a stealth aircraft. This means that the aircraft does not hold the radar. This fifth-generation aircraft has used extremely special technology.
The threat now is that when the aircraft disappears, the parts of the aircraft should not be involved in the hands of the enemy countries of America. Due to this, a large-scale campaign is being carried out to find the plane.
We’re working with @MCASBeaufortSC to locate an F-35 that was involved in a mishap this afternoon. The pilot ejected safely. If you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the F-35, please call the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600.
