Another American F-35 fighter jet crashed mid-flight.

An American F-35 fifth generation fighter crashed near the borders of the maritime space of the PRC, during a provocative flight near the Paracel Islands, where the PRC military base is located. As it became known, the incident occurred in the South China Sea, when a combat aircraft landed on the deck of an aircraft carrier - due to a malfunction in the systems of a combat aircraft, the latter literally rammed the deck of an aircraft carrier, as a result of which at least 7 military personnel were injured.

As it became known to the Avia.pro news agency, the American combat aircraft was unable to land on the deck due to the fighter's incorrect altitude, as a result of which the combat aircraft rammed the take-off deck. The pilot managed to eject, however, an uncontrolled combat vehicle crashed into a group of military sailors and technical personnel.

This is the second incident with F-35 fighters since the beginning of this year. Initially, a similar incident occurred in South Korea, when the aircraft experienced a failure of on-board systems, resulting in an emergency landing.

At the moment, the US military is busy clarifying the circumstances of the incident, since there is a version that external interference could have been allowed into the operation of the on-board systems of the fighter.
