world π§ Classified F-35 parts diverted to Hong Kong
Sensitive F-35 components, including a stealth canopy, were unexpectedly diverted to Hong Kong this summer while en route from Australia to the US for repairs. This incident has triggered a major Pentagon inquiry into potential technology theft by China. The parts were being moved by an intermediary for Lockheed Martin when the rerouting occurred over the Pacific. Authorities are currently working to recover the missing equipment and investigate the diversion's reasons. Further briefings on this national security issue are expected from State and Pentagon officials in the coming weeks. π§
