Fighter-generation fighter of a shortened takeoff and vertical landing F-35B Lightning II Corps of the Marine Corps (KMP) USA beat himself from its own artillery installation, reports The Drive.
The publication notes that the corresponding incident occurred on March 12 on the basis of Hume in Arizona. Damage caused to the fighter is estimated at least 2.5 million dollars. There are no injured.
According to the Drive, it is definitively not clear whether the incident is caused by the GPU-9 / A gun and the PGU-32 / B SAPHEI-T projectile or is provoked by the human factor. The publication is leaning towards the version with an ammunition.
In March, General Richard Dannat, in 2006-2009, headed by the General Staff (Sun) of the United Kingdom, stated that the F-35B Lightning II fighter ruins the Ministry of Defense.
In January, Christopher Miller, taking an acting minister of defense of the United States, called the program of creating F-35 Lightning II piece of shit.
