yes the F35B crashed and yes its over £100 million fighter jet its sad and full investigation is underway
but considering the HMS Queen Elizabeth Covered 22,000 miles on its first ever voyage, sailed for 7 months visited 44 countries, and conducted 1,000s of sorties and did exercises with over 2 dozens nations from East to West with the largest 5th generation naval air wing in the World speaks volumes, its still a very very very low crash rate against flying and sailing hours
a nation which has a big heart can sustain such a loss and move on and develop, because they are winners and thats only thing they know
a nation which has a small heart cant sustain such a loss and thats why they are losers, they will always pick others faults
if Chinese Casino Carriers CV-16 and CV-17 did 22,000 miles on their maiden voyage there would be no Su33 copies left
the main things is pilot is safe and well
in Russia and China they would kill the pilot and save the plane just to avoid the embarrassment and the dead pilot would be given the status "Hero of the motherland who died to save the plane" followed by 3 decades of Communist propaganda
which would then explain why UK can send its Carrier to South China Sea but China can never its Carrier anywhere close to UK
