A US Marine Corps F-35 fighter jet has crashed near a military base runway, prompting an emergency response after the pilot successfully ejected. <\/p>\n
Marine Corps representatives reported an “aviation incident” involving an F-35 aircraft, according to Fox 5. According to local outlet ABC 10 News, the pilot ejected and was found safe. The Pentagon informed KGTV that an F-35B Lightning II fighter jet was the aircraft involved in the crash.<\/p>\n
The US fighter jet crashed during flight. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene of the incident. So far, there is no information regarding the cause of the crash or any potential casualties.<\/p>\n
According to local media, a small fire broke out near the crash site. CNN reported that smoke from the crash site was visible from many kilometers away. The fighter jet reportedly crashed just before the base runway.<\/p>\n
The F-35 fighter is also known for its stealth technology, which provides low radar cross-section. The aircraft’s structure itself is designed to absorb and scatter radar waves, while a second key element is a special radio-wave-absorbing coating.<\/p>\n
In May, Poland received its first previously ordered F-35 aircraft, which were named “Hussars.” “In the F-35, classic flying takes a backseat. The pilot gets such a massive amount of information that their main task is managing it and operating the systems. The aircraft itself collects data, analyzes it, and instantly transmits it to ground units and warships,” “Wyborcza” described.<\/p>\n
As Maciek Kucharczyk notes in Gazeta.pl, Poland ordered 32 F-35 fighter jets. “Originally, the arrival of only a few units in Poland was assumed this year. The new plan provides for up to a dozen or so. A similar number is scheduled to arrive in 2027, practically concluding deliveries. Later, the machines currently used for training Polish pilots in the USA are also expected to arrive. The entire process will likely end in 2029. The catch is that at some point, when the Americans deal with issues regarding the TR-3 version, half of our F-35s will have to undergo unplanned modernization,” our journalist comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
