Both aircraft went down while conducting "routine operations", the US Navy said, adding that five personnel were "safe and in stable condition" after the crashes.

    Probably shouldn’t have put Chinese tech in your aircraft

      That would be incredibly unlikely. As a general rule the US military does not use foreign made gear, particularly anything from China. More likely it’s human error, someone fucked up the maintenance.

        The US military uses a lot of foreign made parts especially in modern aircraft, they’re just made in allied countries.

        For example Australia produces parts for the F35.

          There is not an advanced piece of electronic equipment made on earth today that doesn’t have at least one very minor component made in China.

              I don’t have a problem with people doing that, but you can also just say “search”.

                It was habit after decades of that being used as a verb. Calm down.
