Missing F-35 Tech Diverted to Hong Kong — What Sen. Kelly Said

Описание: Sensitive F-35 fighter jet technology reportedly went missing after a shipment from Australia was diverted to Hong Kong.

Sen. Mark Kelly, who sits on both the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees, responded to Politico's reporting by noting the F-35 is the most advanced fighter in the world — and that adversaries like China could attempt to reverse engineer any components they obtained. The F-35 has had documented supply chain issues that congressional committees have been examining.

The canopy of an F-35 contains technology restricted to the U.S. and its allies. It's unclear why the flight was diverted or where the shipment is now.
