[maximuswarrior]

Not a very successful beginning...

I don't think this jet is going to live to all the hype. Its cursed...

When you make such a complex machine there will be teething problems.

Most likely defected to China.

If Turkey leaves this project the "Bereket" factor will be gone too...

Japanese F-35 fighter crashes into the Pacific
Hong Kong (CNN)A Japanese F-35 stealth fighter, one of the world's most-advanced warplanes, crashed into the Pacific Ocean while on a training mission Tuesday, Japanese defense officials said.

The single-engine jet from Japan's Air Self-Defense Force was on a training flight with three other F-35s when contact was lost Tuesday evening, Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya said. Debris from the plane was found early Wednesday.
The lost jet's pilot signaled a need to abort the mission shortly before radar contact was lost, Iwaya told reporters Wednesday morning.

Shall I posted F-16 related accidents?

In numerous cases, pilots were 'responsible' for crashes.

Japan needs better pilots.

And the race is on China, Russia...oh & the US in finding the wreckage. The Americans are sweating if it were to fall in the hands of China or Russia - both of who are capable of Reverse Engineering.

The design is not much at play, but Radar & certain electronics seem to be of value.
