अमेरिकी एफ-35 के पुर्जे हांगकांग कैसे पहुंचे?: पेंटागन ने शुरू की जांच, चीन के हाथ लगने की खबर से बढ़ी चिंता

According to a report by Amar Ujala, the United States Department of Defense has launched an investigation into how components belonging to the F-35 stealth fighter program may have reached Hong Kong. The potential unauthorized transfer of sensitive military technology has raised significant security concerns within the Pentagon, as officials work to determine the origin and nature of the parts in question.

The F-35 Lightning II is a cornerstone of American air superiority, and its supply chain is subject to rigorous oversight to prevent the leakage of proprietary technology to foreign adversaries. The report suggests that the discovery has prompted a review of export controls and logistics tracking, particularly regarding how high-tech defense equipment might be diverted through international transit hubs.

While the Pentagon has not yet released a formal statement detailing the specific components involved or the timeline of the alleged breach, the incident highlights the ongoing challenges of securing global defense supply chains. Analysts note that if sensitive hardware has indeed reached Chinese-controlled territory, it could pose a risk to the technological edge of the F-35 fleet. Authorities are expected to continue their inquiry to identify any lapses in security protocols that allowed the components to be moved outside of authorized channels.
