A retired military official is warning on Wednesday that China could claim salvage rights to an F-35 stealth fighter jet that crashed into the South China Sea earlier this week.
Carl Schuster, former director of operations at the US Pacific Command’s Joint Intelligence Center in Hawaii, told CNN that China’s likely game plan will be to capitalize on its territorial claims in the South China Sea and claim it’s salvaging the craft for environmental purposes.
‘Salvaging the plane with commercial and coast guard assets will enable Beijing to claim it is recovering a potential environmental hazard or foreign military equipment from its territorial waters,’ the former Navy captain said
The U.S. faces a race to beat Beijing in recovering the military plane after it plunged into the South China Sea on Monday following what the Navy termed a ‘landing mishap’ aboard the USS Carl Vinson.
The pilot was forced to eject and seven military personnel in total were injured.
But as the U.S. military works to recover the craft, Schuster warned that China ‘will try to locate and survey it thoroughly using submarines and one of its deep diving submersible’ to find it first.
The timeline for search and recovery could stretch across months, the retired military commander said.
Salvage ships could take between 10 to 15 days to arrive at their destination, he explained, after which point recovery could take as long as 120 days.
The Navy has not revealed where the crash occurred, and a vast majority of the waters have been claimed by Beijing.
The Chinese government has yet to make an official comment on the matter. DailyMail.com has reached out to China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy in the United States.
The US wants to retrieve their plane due to “Top secret avionics” most or all of which are made in China.
China is eager to discover how to never build a jet fighter.
The USS Carl Rustbucket has and I quote : “It is packed with the latest technology and advances in radar-deflecting design” – ha ha ha Talk about inversion.” “The timeline for search and recovery could stretch across months,” ? a challenging article. 6ft of earth
I fully agree with yesterday’s commenter noting that the US will have a submarine guarding that until it’s retrieved. This is the MSM doing its distraction BS.
R.C.
The only reason the Chinese would want that pile is to verify how far behind the U.S. is. Stealth “technology” has already been defeated by phased array radars, just ask the Russians. The F35 was obsolete before it rolled off the assembly line. The best the U.S. has is still the F15.
The US is sacking 8,000 naval officers who refused the death jab. Active and reserve. Talk about pissing on your own cornflakes. Maybe that goes some way to explaining why they’ve had two jets lost at sea? Because crappy jets like that are going to need really capable deck crew and officers leading them.

I doubt China cares about the F-35, but they should be concerned that the USNavy is up to some hijinks while they recover the scuttled F-35.

Bishop williamson spent months coming the underground vatican archives
and found the hoocaust was a hoax
he has many vids on youtube

finally many jews are now admitting the hoaw among them Moshe solomoins dr david cohem and solly isaccs
This could be a means of technology transfer to the Chinese.
Check out “the Buran” Russias equivalent of the space shuttle which externally looked like the American original.
Or immediately post war there was the strato fortress bomber which was used to drop nookular bombs on japan.
Some of these were landed in far Eastern Russia….not too much longer there were similar planes in Russia.
This is speculation of course.
What isnt speculation is that during the cold war America was shipping ship loads of cheap subsidized grain to its supposed mortal enemy…the USSR.
Speaking of duping the public….there is a British documentary style tv series about Traffic Cops….but they tend to be very conservative with the facts.There seems to be an excess of Lumpen Proletariat in the North of England…..this is probably as a result of disproportionate breeding amongst the lower classes….usually the bottom end British peasant hooks up the abundant third world invaders that organised Jewry has dumped on their doorstep……Cold Climate Brazil ‘ere we go.
Hi people. I just like to tell a story that you would never read in mainstream media.
I saw a good report about MK ULTRA on this Web page, as many of you know this secret program was at the beginning of 50s, if someone thinks it’s stopped is deceived. I am a victim of mind control harassment, I was born in Eastern Europe in comunist country fully controlled by zionist mafia, such type of experiments thay have been doing ever since soviet Union was established
The technology they using is so sophisticated now that many people would not believe it. Micro chips inside the brain eyes and ears, organised gang stalking, sound and electro magnetic technology. I can’t describe the tourching and harassment that I have been trough,it’s unimaginable suffering. This mafia made my life horrible, all my life I was circled by their people and made my life that I am alone, no friends, no familiars no one that I can trust. At any doctors that I have tried to show the implants I was just forced to go away. These criminals rule everything, and they are so organised and so much racist. I have been under threat if I try to find help. I have tried to move to other country in EU but it was the same, just unimaginable organised criminal net that work together at police and governments. I don’t know what to do, I am desperate and I need help.
And I want to say to honest people reading this message to be very careful and keep your children don’t let them alone and don’t trust kinder garden instructions, they making such crimes to children at very young age continues through the entire life
The Chinese obviously know their chances of recovering this advanced aircraft is 1% on the best day they ever had, lol. Get real. Besides, if they already have the technology, why bother.
Though they really, really do wish they had an engine like that, for starters..
