7 injured after F-35 jet crashes on aircraft carrier in South China Sea

What kind of sensors uses a F35 in the landing?

It smells to Chinese electronic war to those sensors.

USN has a massive OPSEC problem, literally everything leaked.

Pretty low tech sensors. And even without sensors pilots and carrier control are trained to eyeball it.

The approach was wobbly and should have been an automatic go around.

And from how the plane caught fire upon hitting the deck, doesn't look like it was out of fuel either.

No news of grounding so unlikely to be mechanical issue.
Maybe something caused the pilot to lose his/her nerve but Maverick wasn't there to save his backside & bring him home.

Doesnt have something like that a carrier?
They can land without sensors if they know the sensors are failing, but if the sensors get false reading and they dont know, maybe they can crash as it happened.

Any RF signal is vulnerable to jamming.
And GPS-mil is vulnerable to spoofing through replay attacks (adding a delay to the signal).

If the RF signal was being jammed, they would definitely know it was happening. GPS spoofing... Maybe.

Either way, the approach for landing was a fucked and even with bad sensors the pilot have to do a go around.
