US military again crashes into a carrier-based fighter jet
On May 6, local time, four people familiar with the matter revealed that another F/A-18 fighter jet of the USS Harry Truman, the USS Harry Truman, recently fell in the Red Sea, which is the second fighter jet lost by the aircraft carrier in more than a week.
The F/A-18 fighter, codenamed "Bumblebee", was originally developed by the US McDonald (later merged by Boeing). Its subsequent improved model is currently widely used by the US Navy as a carrier-based aircraft by the US Navy. At the same time, the model has also been sold to several NATO countries.
