The U.S. military announced on Monday that debris from a crashed F-35 fighter jet in South Carolina had been found, following a request for assistance from the public. The pilot of the F-35B Lightning II jet had ejected safely from the aircraft the previous day. Joint Base Charleston had used the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to ask for any information that could aid the recovery teams. The wreckage was located a day later in Williamsburg County, two hours northeast of JB Charleston. The base expressed gratitude to local authorities for their assistance. The F-35B Lightning II jet, manufactured by Lockheed Martin (LMT.N), is known for its radar evasion capabilities and advanced sensors.
