The world’s best fighter jet, the F-35, has disappeared. This incident dealt a serious blow to the American military. Afterwards, flights of all units of this fighter jet in America were banned for two days.
Afterwards, Acting Commandant of the Marine Corps Eric Smith said that this grounding had been imposed on all units of this fighter aircraft. Whether he is in America or stationed somewhere outside of America. This step was taken because this jet went missing after taking off from Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina.
So far, this missing fighter jet has not been found. The army is constantly looking for him. Over the next two days, only safety and technical issues relating to all fighter jets will be discussed. Meanwhile, the Marine Corps spokesman said in his statement that the pilot safely ejected himself from the aircraft before the fighter jet disappeared.
The spokesperson said we are currently just gathering information. I’m trying to understand the situation. This incident is being closely investigated. A spokesman for Joint Base Charleston said that when the pilot ejected from the fighter jet, he had recently put the fighter plane into autopilot mode.
We currently don’t know where our fighter jet is. We’re glad our pilot is safe. The Pentagon is in constant contact with us on this matter. It is necessary to get a fighter jet first. We will then speak to the pilot, who is currently in hospital. First of all, let us know why this fighter jet is so important?
