One million F-35 parts missing

A Government Accountability Office report from 2023 found that more than 1 million F-35 spare parts
have gone missing in the past five years.
The watchdog agency concluded the department hasn’t been able to review spare part losses
worth tens of millions of dollars because Lockheed controls the information.

Sensitive F35 fighter jet technology could be in the hands of the Chinese military
| 7NEWS



There are concerns tonight that sensitive F35 fighter jet technology could be in the hands of the Chinese military. A shipment of parts sent from Australia to the US somehow ended up in Hong Kong. Now the Pentagon is on a mission to get the equipment back.

Does anyone else find this as hilariously incompetent as I do?

I wonder who will take responsibility?

Anyway, as I've said a few times before - what is the problem here?

China are supposed to be the 'Good Guys' these days, aren't they?

Well, they must be at least as far as Australia is concerned. After all, we do lots of trade with China and sell our iron ore to them.
