F-35 fallen into the sea from the submarines of Russia and China are protected by dozens of ships
After the crash of the Japanese F-35A, a real hunt for the wreckage of a combat vehicle took place. So says the edition of The Drive. It is stated that there is a possibility of extracting some fragments of the newest western fighter by potential opponents of the United States - Russia and China.
It is still unknown how accurately the location of the F-35 is located on the seabed. The depth of immersion of its large debris, as well as the on-board recorder, is approximately 1,5 km. Earlier, dozens of ships, including the American destroyer USS Stethem (DDG 63) and numerous Japanese ships, arrived in the intended area of the fall.
The presence of air-based facilities at the plane’s disappearance was sharply increased. Among them are P-8 Poseidons and U-2. Thanks to powerful sensors, they monitor water continuously.
Of course, there is concern about the possibility of a foreign power, such as Russia or China, to search this area for detecting floating debris or even the likelihood of their sending submarines to collect individual parts of the machine. But, as Minister of Defense Takeshi Ivey assured, the Japanese forces around the clock and closely monitor this location. According to him, no unusual activity has been detected, at least so far. In fact, it is not even about collecting debris, but about protecting the site of the fall.
As explained by Reuters, the rise of the fighter from such depth will not be an easy task. This procedure theoretically can do the two largest Japanese companies. Fukuda Salvage & Marine Works It began its activities a hundred years ago, restoring warships damaged during the Russo-Japanese War. The second is Nippon salvage.
- Experts say.
As The Drive explains, the depth of the ocean, where the F-35 allegedly crashed, eliminates the possibility that a traditional combat submarine can get to the wreckage. But this does not mean that specialized devices equipped with deep-sea remote-controlled mechanisms cannot do this.

So far, only a few small parts of the aircraft have been found, which in itself represents a huge technological and intellectual risk. In fact, floating debris may be the biggest security threat.

Intact, it [the hull] can be lifted by a crane, but if it breaks, the submersibles will have to assemble individual fragments.

Submarines specially adapted for espionage missions exist both on fleets The Russian Navy and the United States.
