Disaster came back from the brink of disaster at Kadena Air Base on the Japanese island of Okinawa. It has been reported that a US F-35B Lightning II fighter jet, which made an emergency landing at the airbase, crashed on its landing gear due to technical failure.
While it was learned that the nose part of the plane was damaged in the accident, it was noted that the rescue team and fire crews stationed at the top intervened and removed the pilot from the cockpit. A detailed investigation into the incident has been initiated.
CAN BE USED ON SHORT TRACKS
The F-35B Lightning II, which stands out as the short take-off-vertical landing model of the F-35 family, is generally preferred on aircraft carriers due to its ability to take off and vertical landing from very short runways. (UAV)
