SOFREP: A crashed British F-35 found, but the Russians are already in place

14

The British F-35B Lightning Joint Strike Fighter, which crashed on takeoff from the new Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth (RO8) on November 17, was discovered at the bottom of the Mediterranean after a thorough search by the British and American navies.


According to SOFREP, Russian naval forces are also combing the area, visiting from their base in Tartus, Syria. The Russians are trying to get a piece of the plane's skin to study it technology stealth. Secret radars and sensors installed on the F-35B may also be of interest.

British National Security Adviser Sir Stephen Lovegrove noted that the British military is aware of the capabilities of the Russian submarine fleet. At the moment, measures are being taken to ensure the confidentiality of the technologies of the fighter that fell into the Mediterranean Sea. According to Lovegrove, the pilot of the crashed aircraft was not seriously injured and is under medical supervision.

The search for the wreckage of the F-35B took a long time - according to experts, after the plane crashed, its wings allowed it to glide for a long time in the sea water before the fighter fell to the bottom. The British government has turned to the US for help, as the US Navy in Spain has rescue equipment that can help lift the wreckage.

        Strange comparison

        - "Comparison" on this thesis:

        According to SOFREP, Russian naval forces are also combing the area, visiting from their base in Tartus, Syria. The Russians are trying to get a piece of the plane's skin to study its stealth technology. The secret radars and sensors installed on the F-35B may also be of interest.

        What does Poroshenko "and the city bath" have to do with it? Indeed, strange ...

          Poroshenko's tales are akin to the stories about Petrov and Bashirov plowing the seabed in search of secrets. Who needs their stealth technology that falls off in chunks? A piece of "casing" in the hands of Zoltan, by the way, is a clear confirmation of this yes It already worked "remarkably" then.

    clearly, it would have worked if the F-35 was stolen and an aluminum model of the Su-75 chess was left in its place

    - Those who, instead of stealth, have a Su-57 with Rafal's EPR (without suspensions). You just need it badly. The "teapots" zombified by the TV box do not understand this categorically!

    A piece of "casing" in the hands of Zoltan, by the way, is a clear confirmation of this yes It already worked "remarkably" then.

    - It worked great! 1271 combat mission F-117 in Iraq-91 - losses ZERO! Per 38 days of the air campaign. 850 sorties in Yugoslavia-99 - lost 1 (one)! Per 78 days!
    Compare with Russia's losses in the "five-day" war: lost 1 Tu-22M3, 1 Su-24M, 6 Su-25 (half shot down by "friendly fire")! Because there were no and no stealths! And no one in Russia knows how to make them!
    And then you go, - "Americans' coverage is falling off"! Awesome pride, albeit with a "bare bottom"! To get that upash F-35 - for Rosaviaprom it would be a "gift from heaven"! laughing good

      During the operation in Syria, the Aerospace Forces performed 39 sorties
      23.08.2018.
      Why count combat missions against the enemy without air defense?

      Comparing the use of NATO aircraft in Iraq and in the war between Russia and Georgia is like comparing pussy with pencils. F117 was used exclusively in safe directions, as a scalpel for removing a mole. Before that, he actively showered Yugoslavia and Iraq with axes and suitcases with dough. In Georgia, on the other hand, I had to work with a swoop in difficult mountain conditions, in the conditions of good work of air defense, friends from Hohland. Moreover, look and think about the civilian population, which is the last thing NATO thinks about. And secrets, they are always interesting, even if there are developments and directions.

        You are wrong, the United Jewish Community of Ukraine is reviving the Jewish way of life in Ukraine. To become the president of Ukraine, Zelensky was assisted by the chairman of this community, Mr. Kolomoisky.

    F-117s were used in the most dangerous, in terms of air defense, directions - over Baghdad itself, where the saturation of air defense was maximum. Read until complete enlightenment in the brain:

    Air defense of Iraq-91 was stronger than air defense of Georgia-2008 times in 50-100.
