What happened to F35 of Japanese airforce?

[war&peace]

On April 9, 2019, An F35 of Japanese airforce disappeared from radar while flying over Pacific some 135 km north of Aomori prefecture.

And it is pretty close to Russia

The airplane was flown by a 41-year old very experienced pilot of Japanese airforce thus it cannot be blamed on the less experience or skills of the pilot since the best of the best are normally selected to fly the top A/C in the airforce.

Surprisingly, no wreckage have been found after two weeks of the search. So is it possible that Russians reached there before others and got it?

Interesting to note that Russia Today (RT) broke the news first.

Wreckage has already been found .

About other remains of F35. They are Very close to find missing F35.

That's a cover up to fool others. See they claim pilot was not found...so where did he or his body go?
Remember, 5th gen. F35 is touted to provide a lot of freedom & safety to the pilot...a lot more than any of best 4th gen A/Cs. Furthermore, no image of the wreckage is shown
I would say show me the wreckage

The pilot of Malaysian flight MH370 was also very experienced - one of the best in the world. You never know.

An interesting observation is that this particular F-35 variant was manufactured in Japan, but the Japanese government have closed its manufacturing plant in Japan after this incident.

Wreckage was found but its location was not disclosed to the public for security reasons (cover-up). F-35 is a very sensitive high-value asset and both US and Japan could not take any risks after its crash.

Some explanation in this source: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zo...ut-the-ongoing-search-for-japans-crashed-f-35

"Air assets have also been highly present overhead the general area where the aircraft disappeared, with U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidons flying search grids along with JASDF aircraft. A U-2 Dragon Lady has also joined the search and is currently working the area. The aircraft's powerful sensors have a robust secondary maritime surveillance capability."

They knew where the aircraft went down, and ZERO CHANCE for Russian forces to sneak through the joint US-Japan security cordon.

Not a good defence.. I thought you could do better.. but this is disappointing.

Dude, I am telling you the truth, but if you think that Russian forces got even close to the wreckage of fallen F-35 variant without being noticed then you are not thinking clearly. ZERO chance for this to happen given the amount of assets US and Japan immediately committed for this end.

If you think otherwise then provide proof of Russian access to the wreckage of the fallen F-35 variant.

Dude, I am telling you the truth

.. very funny..

 

[LeGenD]

.. very funny..

I suppose you do not understand the matters of airborne and maritime surveillance, and the type of assets at disposal of Japan and US for these ends.

I suppose you do not understand the mechanics of airborne and maritime surveillance.

A static picture of wreckage... will reveal its coordinates? how ?

No pilot, no wreckage..

Bloody flying coffin lol. I guess Turks were better off with this overpriced piece of junk.

The sources are pointing out a simple fact that Russian forces cannot escape notice of Japanese and American airborne and maritime surveillance capabilities committed to the region where the Japanese F-35 variant went down. Even if Russian forces were eager to look for this aircraft in the suspect region, they would have been caught in the act, confronted and stopped from doing so.

Go through this article for sufficient pointers: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/navy-ships/a27243301/us-china-japan-lost-f-35/

Towing something from the bottom of the ocean floor is an incredibly risky and difficult task by the way, and require specialized assets which will be visible on the surface. These endeavors look mild in the movies but movies are entertainment items to begin with.

Russian naval forces are not in good shape either - they cannot be something you desire them to be in person.

Do you have a shame..or ethics...
Right now what you are saying contradicts your previously lame excuses that its is sensitive area enemies will reach better ... blah blah and now you're claiming.. otherwise so why USA & Japan are scared.
And BTW your childish attempt to compare it with MH370 is really desperate.. I thought you could do better than this and not compare a jet airliner to a 5th gen figherjet with an ejection seat

Not the first time you are being irrational in a discussion.

Provide proof of Russian hunt for the fallen F-35 variant in the suspect location. Any vessels? Anything? Or do you think Russians summoned Aquaman to trace the fallen aircraft for them and bring it to Vladimir Putin himself?

You need to study about airborne and maritime surveillance capabilities first, before you can talk sense in relation to this topic.

I didn't make any claims.. I just raised a question for healthy discussion.
and going by your logic, if USA and Japan have kept it secret and played the cover up then do you think Russia will make public her search for an asset which does not belong to her? Just use brain before getting worked up.
