Cum au ajuns în Hong Kong piese din avionul F-35. Pentagonul a deschis o anchetă, iar Congresul SUA se teme de spionaj chinez

The Pentagon is investigating how F-35 components ended up in Hong Kong, now in Chinese possession. The parts, including the cockpit canopy and a weapon compartment door, were diverted during transport from Australia to the U.S. for repairs. The F-35 program office acknowledged a transport issue and is working with U.S. authorities to recover the components. Australia downplayed the incident, stating the parts are not sensitive. The situation has raised concerns in Congress about potential access to critical technology by China. The F-35 is a fifth-generation stealth fighter, recognized as the most advanced U.S. combat aircraft.
