Important parts of the fighter jet F-35 are gone. The parts should go to the USA for repair. They went to Hongkong instead. That is a city in China. The parts are missing since then. Experts are afraid. China can copy the tech now.
The F-35 is a very modern jet. It is a stealth jet. That means: Radar devices can almost not see it. It is very fast and expensive. One jet costs up to 109 million dollars. Germany wants to buy 35 such jets too. The army needs them for old planes.
The us-kongress">US-Kongress checks the incident now. The company Lockheed Martin builds these jets. The company says: We follow all rules. We watch our cargo well. It is unclear why the parts landed in Hongkong. Boris Pistorius gets the first jet for Germany right now.
