From RT:

A new video emerged online on Sunday purporting to show the American F-35C fighter jet crash-landing and skidding off the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in the open sea somewhere south of China.

The incident occurred on January 24, when a US Navy F-35C crashed while landing on the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier at an undisclosed location in the South China Sea. The plane’s pilot ejected safely, though six sailors received injuries while the plane’s wreck was being flung overboard.

[...] Footage shows the F-35’s rear catch fire immediately upon impact. The pilot ejects from the damaged aircraft halfway across the deck. Luckily, the plane was heavily tilted to its left side at that moment, and the catapult sent the pilot straight into the sea rather than into the carrier’s superstructure to the plane’s right.

"The clip has been confirmed by the Department of Defense to be genuine," The Daily Mail reported.

Images were shared last month on social media showing F-35s covered in rust.

#UPDATE: According to INF, when asked, Pentagon spokesman Joe Dellavedova said the rust was caused by a manufacturing error by the arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin, with all models being affected. It’ll be “fixed” in new batches of F35s pic.twitter.com/2dvfV8uQQh

"According to INF, when asked, Pentagon spokesman Joe Dellavedova said the rust was caused by a manufacturing error by arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin, with all models being affected," BulgarianMilitary.com reported.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, a former Raytheon board member, has spent the past year focused on firing service members for not taking Big Pharma's crap "vaccines," working with the ADL and SPLC to purge the military of "extremists" and fighting for the "right" of every soldier to get taxpayer-funded sex changes.
