Before we enter the fields of stealth fighters and stealth drones, we have to get a little history lesson about the US versus China in the race for stealth technology. It’s no secret that countries like China and Russia along with others would love to get their hands on the US’s stealth technology. The United States Navy and Airforce or not without accidents pertaining to the F35 stealth fighters. Whenever there is an accident, the race is on to get to the downed aircraft before anyone else does.
The United States has sent at least four military planes to retrieve top-secret components from the crashed F-35C fighter planes in the South China Sea, according to a Beijing-based think-tank. Chinese manufacturers have likely begun large-scale production of their more sophisticated stealth fighter, the J-20, and assigned some of it to an Air Force unit tasked with South China Sea operations.
The United States’ most advanced fighter, the J-20 stealth aircraft costs more than $100 million, is packed with highly sensitive technologies, and would be a bonanza of intelligence to China, which claims nearly the entire South China Sea as Chinese territory. The downing has also led to media speculation about whether China, which is now identified as the Pentagon’s top strategic rival, will rush to rebuild the crashed F-35C fighter to gain access to the stealth tech. China, it further claimed, would get another intelligence bonanza should the Peoples Liberation Army make Australia P-8 land on Chinese soil.
At least four US Air Force CV-22B Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, believed to have been deployed from American bases in Japan and the Philippines, were spotted “heading to the area where the carrier exercises had taken place”, SCSPI said in its Twitter post.
The Salvage of the crashed F-35C seems to be beginning. Today, at least 4 USAF CV-22B Osprey from the Philippines and Japan are heading to the area where the carrier exercises had taken place. To get some equipment to the sea first? Jan 29.

Earlier on Saturday, the Japanese Coast Guard issued a navigational warning that salvage operations were being carried out in an area in the northern part of the South China Sea “until further notice”. This comes days after a photo of an F-35 floating on the water with an open cockpit canopy appeared on Reddit and soon began to be circulated online. On Friday, the US Navy confirmed that the leaked photo – and a related video shared on Twitter – did show the F-35C hitting the USS Carl Vinson flight deck and floating in the South China sea. ‘Yahoo.com Jan. 29, 2022“
Now let’s fast forward to May 26, 2022. China has started playing a dangerous game with our allied countries. The Chinese pilots are coming dangerously close to an Australian Royal Air Force reconnaissance aircraft. Their dangerous flying is also complained of by Canada. Of course, China has denied this happened.
On May 26, a high-performance Chinese fighter jet engaged in a “dangerous maneuver,” flying close to an Australian Royal Air Force (RAAF) reconnaissance aircraft in international airspace in the South China Sea region. The Australian plane was, according to the Australian Department of Defense, undertaking “routine maritime surveillance activity.”
The Chinese J-16 “accelerated and cut across the nose of the P-8, settling in front of the P-8 at very close distance” said Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles on Sunday, as Canberra publicly disclosed the incident for the first time.
“At that moment, it then released a bundle of chaff, which contains small pieces of aluminum, some of which were ingested into the engine of the P-8 aircraft.” The Chinese jet also fired flares at about the same time as releasing the chaff, metal-coated filament used to confuse radar. “msn.com“
Why would China even want to risk an international incident that had the potential to start a war? I began to wonder, is China jealous of all the media attention the US is getting from supplying Ukraine with some serious weapons. Are they just trying to remind the US and its NATO allies that they have heavy weapons also? Either way, it’s a dangerous game to play at such a dangerous time we live in now.
God Bless the United States, God Bless the Veterans
