US investigating how sensitive F-35 parts diverted to Hong Kong ended up in China's hands - report
Sensitive F-35 stealth fighter parts ended up in Chinese hands after a shipment was diverted to Hong Kong, with US lawmakers investigating how the incident occurred.
A shipment of potentially sensitive F-35 stealth fighter components was diverted to Hong Kong while en route from Australia to the US, with the parts later taken possession of by Chinese authorities, according to reports. The components, which include an F-35 cockpit canopy and weapons-bay door, were coated with radar-absorbing material to enhance the fighter's stealth capabilities.
