Americanii se tem că China a furat tehnologia secretă a avioanelor F-35. Un transport de piese a fost deturnat către Hong Kong
Sensitive technology related to the F-35 fighter jet was unexpectedly redirected to Hong Kong, raising concerns in the U.S. Congress about potential access by China. Components meant for repairs in the U.S. were diverted while en route from Australia, with the Pentagon confirming the loss of these parts. The shipment included a crucial canopy that provides stealth capabilities, which could be reverse-engineered if obtained by adversaries. The incident has prompted investigations and briefings within Congress, highlighting ongoing concerns about Chinese espionage targeting U.S. military technology. Lockheed Martin, the F-35 manufacturer, is working with authorities to recover the components and prevent future occurrences.
