A debris field was located in South Carolina amid the U.S. military’s search for a missing F-35 fighter jet. The jet was flying near Charleston on Sunday when it experienced a mishap. The pilot ejected safely but the jet continued to fly and disappeared. NBC News’ Courtney Kube has more details.

#FighterJet #SouthCarolina #Debris
More Biden firsts for our new woke military. Can you imagine announcing your missing a top secret aircraft! That’s 2 planes in one week. What’s next, can the public help us find some missing nukes! China must love this stuff!
Will the pilot be charged with a crime just like the YouTube who did the exact same thing? Youtuber ejected while plane was on autopilot. He was charged with a crime. We have to see justice in this “nation of laws”.
I need to see pictures of the debris field before I believe that
Guys don’t tell them, but I have this plane in ny garage. I took it for the lulz. Its a secret, though.
THIS IS A COVERUP!!! THE PLANE IS IN THE HANDS OF OUR ENEMIES TO BE DISMANTLED AND ANALYZED!!!!
Imagine that, our best fighter plane is actually a 100 million dollar JUNK !!!! Thank you defense department for ripping off the taxpayers. Thanks for nothing JJJEEERRRKKKKEEEOOOFFFFEEEERRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No app for “find my fighter jet”
🫢🫢🫢May be Aliens hijack Airplane and the Pilot, Who’s knows 🤔🤔🤔
OK, So get this… the CCP can fly a spy balloon all over the USA, and we cant shoot it down cause it might hurt someone on the ground, But a pilot can eject out of fighter get, on auto pilot, and the wingman plan is told to return to base and not follow to see where it goes down? There is no concern of people being hurt on the ground here?? There is something not right with this story.
cockroach was in that f-35 make pilot ejected
When the onboard experimental A.I. of the F-35 decides to eject the pilot and then go on automatic pilot? 😂😂😂
I’ll start the conspiracy. It never crashed. It was sent to ukraine and they crashed something else. Lol
80 milllions without 15$ GPS system😂
Apparently they built that jet too stealthy LOL Glad the pilot is OK . If they this out of his pay he’s going have to work a lot of overtime , for the next hundred years or so : )
may be russia hacked the aircraft
Maybe the pilot didn’t eject, but “got ejected”.
Look for a floating crayons
Transponder and hydraulics go out at the same time? Maybe it never had a pilot.
I’m still not convinced its not in Russia now. Or China.theres no telling how many spies have infiltrated our goverment after trump.
This jet should be able to fly to base and land just like a drone. We aren’t hearing all of it, nor will we, as it has to be.
Has any body called the number
This whole story is nothing but a lie premeditated the jet was given to Iran along with the 6 billion and the 6 terrorist in the American prisons.
What an absolute JOKE ! can’t wait til the USA looses an aircraft carrier, or a nuclear submarine..
I’m calling bull ship
There’s a lizard in the wood pile for sure
What happened to the tracing device this is just as the Pentagon mes too Jason Eugene Britt Tampa Florida
If found…send smoke signals from location
Trained pilots are more expensive than an aircraft, so, there’s that.
Thank Good the pilot is safe !!!
They integrated AI into the jet and it said “peace out, im done with you people, I’m leaving”
Quite curious, possible UAP encounter?
China or Alien the world may never know…
Hopefully pilot
Left his call phone aboard , then they could just use find my iPhone .
Too obvious IMHO. At the prospect of soon facing real fighting machines like SU57s etc, that fΙying cοfin’s ΑΙ, got the data, processed it, and did what it had to do. Τook over and cοmmit sυίcίde …
Therefore, the American F35 is the most advanced stealth fighter that cannot even be found by itself.😂😂😂😂
social media site X – LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
It’s mind-boggling that they can’t track their own planes. 🤯✈
I call bull💩
I thought the auto pilot had been turned on, so now it’s off. The F-35 B Lightning II touches straight down like a helicopter. Why would it be barreling thru a wooded forest?
Seems they really ought to be able to be remotely piloted if necessary, esp for a $100m plane…of course if a transponder breaks that might not have helped.
Goofy found it😅
No one cares haha
I’m no expert, but obviously, there was an issue with location instruments onboard. Maybe that’s why the pilot ejected himself. No one can fly a plane without accurate and proper direction and location equipment. And obviously, they should recall all planes and check for malfunction. Something’s wrong if they had antecedents.
So our government asks for everyone to be on the lookout for their missing jet only to crash in the woods 20hrs later. Do they want us to pick up the debris to? I feel like they should be charged with reckless endangerment.
Probably just needed some fresh batteries in the autoeject system.
It was Donald trump.the pilot saw him and ejected.😅
I’m surprised they’re not telling us little green men were involved😂😂
Our government spends so much time tracking US,they can’t track OUR JETS?! NO GPS?! How many children could have been helped with 100 MILLION DOLLARS?!😮
$100M and couldn’t afford an Apple Tag for location needs.

Increase Your Satisfaction
By Understanding Your Existence … sea rch EXISTNC
Sounds like a inside job
You people think the American people and so stupid.
Some Chinese guy found the jet in Cuba, thank God!
😂 Creepy Sleepy Joe biden must be Sleeping again. 😂there will be no USA left if Trumps lost to cheater Joe vote in 2024 Election again. (RUSSIAN PRESIDENT will press Nuke War button is coming 2024 if Joe wins in 2024 again👌😆😆
💀f-35💀
I might know something what u paying?????
Great photos and video of the debris field, nice reporting. You should go in the news business. Repeating information and showing stock photos and video, great job!
FAKE!!! The aircraft is perfectly well and is now in Belarus north of Ukraine.
We spend almost a trillion dollars on military every year and they can’t find it on their own? Taxpayers are getting fleeced by the military industrial complex! This is bad for security reasons and waste reasons.
Well another convenient truth? What you see isn’t necessarily right. Lol makes no sense.
Now what really happened
No wonder the U.S. ran away from Afghanistan after 20 years!
Can’t believe a thing reported by state run media.
Terrifying scenes.. .
To bad it didn’t fly over to Russia, China or North Korea
Biden finds F-35 after requesting aid from the Chinese using their advanced balloon technology. 😮
That women’s eyes … 😂
Stole by the Ghost of Kiev….
😂😂😂
Mishaps or did the china an/or Russian ships off the Cousy of Cuba target it and make it red
Why did it still fly?
It’s crazy how much is kept from the public…they know exactly what happend come on this isn’t 1970 anymore it’s 2023
FALSE FLAG
Air Biden
Just one patriotic veteran’s opinion but, I do not buy it. Not one bit. A fighter jet crashes and there is no eye witness report? No fire from the crash site? Where is the 911 call? A jet crashes you’d hear it for miles away. Where are the witnesses to the crash? No iphones recording it? Really? Sketchy at best; planned at worst. I have a, shall we say, different take on this: They had to ask the public for help? You do NOT build an F-35 and not install a tracking device that can locate said jet from anywhere on the planet, even in the deepest point in the ocean floor, from space with a dedicated military tracking/location/coms system build specifically for the US Military by Elon Musk. And when an airliner crashes there’s almost 75% debris recovered. I’m quite sure an $80M fighter jet is build a bit more terse so…there had better be a lot of debris recovered and they had better make every single aspect of the crash investigation very public. Just how ignorant do they believe us to be? The bigger question is…why? Who is benefitting from this and how much are they getting paid this time? Is China or Iran or Ukraine now in possession of the most advanced aircraft ever built? Who got paid for that? When does the American people get reimbursed for their now missing taxpayer dollars? Should we expect a check in the mail for that? How utterly incompetent/corrupt does this jackwad-in-charge aka Joe Biden have to become and just how insecure does the safety, security and sovereignty of our nation have to become before we finally say in one collective voice that enough is enough and this ‘president’ must go and I mean right now! The only thing that would exonerate the US Military at this time is to make the black box information publicly available and produce some sound eye witnesses/phone video/CCTV cam/911 call something…ANYTHING! Otherwise, it is past due time for some serious changes to occur in our current government immediately! /facepalm%%%
When the govt PLEADS FOR OUR HELP 😂😂😂😂😂FU
This is shocking, extremely distressing and some kind of total BS! HOW the h — could the US military claim to “lose” a jet??? Beacon? Black box? E T C ???????? Forget the unreal recklessness of a crashing a jet ON US soil.
Biden sold it
This is a cover up, no way that F35 crashed. It was stolen.
Where is the plane!? DEBRIS DOESNT LOOK LIKE FIGHTER JET BUT SOME TRASH. THAT THING CAN CARRY NUKES…
Found it:
https://youtu.be/HMh_4UZjRgc
Several guys were there taking photos and videos of various parts, also several items were removed prior to authorities getting there.
Only a dumbed down Tv watcher would believe this.
Total crock of 🐴 Shi+
So has the Marines found the plane or not. I would say this is the most embarrassing thing the military has done but it’s not.
We’ve been through this whenever Hunter, Biden was in hot water about his charges that stupid submarine went missing all of a sudden now it’s time for trial. What do you know? Coincidentally a plane goes missing that’s $80 billion. It’s all a cover-up.
A.I. test run, kicked the pilot out.
Couldn’t afford I-Tag?
With the most transparent administration ever we will never hear the truth. It flew 80 miles after he ejected on autopilot. So why did he eject so soon? If it was hacked we will never know.
BIDEN GAVE IT TO CHINA TO PAY OFF HUNTERS LOANS
All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands Jet Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That’s too much,$$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
Scandal
Beaware the crash scene has been staged ,the debris field, the minimal damage to the vegetation is not what should be seen with a plane crash. If a pilot is on a training mission,flying at the controls ,why was it on auto pilot. This plane is capable of flying and landing on its own and in less than 30 min could be flown to Cuba for the Chinese to gain knowledge on its superiority.
On the bright side, at least the Marine’s $400,000 helmet works and still works.
It sounds so unusual 😇😇😇
This is a hoax 😂
Here is what a plane crash site… debris field looks like.

Всякий раз, когда читаю или слышу о катастрофах при спаренных или коллективных полетах нескольких летательных аппаратов, имею подозрение, что физической причиной крушения может быть маневрирование в разогретом от раскаленной земли *разреженном* слое воздуха, в котором управление воздушными рулями слабее работает, создавая у летчика впечатление, будто машина не слушается воздушных рулей (закрылков, пропеллера на хвосте вертолета и другого «оперения»).
Об этом оставил подробные *Комментарии* на:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyqyShWRtJQ

Например, при погружении вертолета в разогретые воздушные массы он начинает вращение вокруг своей вертикальной оси, поскольку хвостовой пропеллер не создает достаточного управляющего усилия при разогретом *разреженном* окружающем воздухе. Это явление *смотрим* на:

next time put apple airtag on the jet thank you.
They must think we’re stupid.
Taxpayers are not happy at all..
Attention Marine Corps: Kindly remove your plane from my swimming pool. I don’t appreciate this and it’s not funny.
