Caused a crisis… US found crashed $100 million warplane

The location of the F-35 fighter jet, worth millions of dollars, which caused great controversy after it crashed into the US sea and could not be found for a long time, has finally been located.

Major Melanie Salinas, spokesperson for the US Army, reported that an F-35 aircraft belonging to the Marines suffered a breakdown while carrying out a training flight in the North Charleston region, South Carolina. Stating that the pilot survived by jumping with a parachute, Salinas stated that a search was launched in the region for the missing F-35 aircraft.

THANKS TO THE PUBLIC

While the search efforts by land and air continued, authorities asked the local population for help in finding the plane, which provoked reactions. Regarding the F-35B Lightning II fighter jet, whose price exceeds 100 million dollars, member of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Mace, said: “How can you lose an F-35? Why is there no tracking device and what do we want from the public? “To find the plane and deliver it?” She used the following expressions.

After hours of searching for the plane, it was reported that the wreckage of the plane was found last night. In the statement made from the Charleston base, the public was also thanked for their help.

According to manufacturer Lockheed Martin, one of the most important advantages of the plane is that it cannot be tracked by radar. It is claimed that this may have made the search for the plane difficult.
