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.

Toughest job to land a aircraft at the moving ship.

People are ready to make fun in PDF but only few countries with one of the best pilots do this extremely tough job for their nation's

Typical excuse to mask incompetency.

USN has a massive OPSEC problem, literally everything leaked.

yanks not using vtol version of F35?

Those are for marines and their LDH

New normal!

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.

descending too fast?

Here at last a little more clarity about the course of the accident...

It's a pilot error or a sudden engine lack of power.

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.

In fact I don't know

 

[Beast]

More like engine on fire.

 

[BON PLAN]

More like engine on fire.

I see no evidence on the poor quality film. But not impossible.

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.
