How China is Forcing the US to Fly F-35 Advanced Stealth Jets Without Radar | Vantage on Firstpost

The United States is facing a severe crisis in its F-35 stealth fighter aircraft fleet. Manufacturer Lockheed Martin has delivered at least 6 jets without a radar. This comes after China tightened export rules for rare earth minerals like Samarium, Neodymium and Gallium that are extensively used in F-35 jets. However, the problem is much deeper. The US is upgrading the F-35's radar to the AN/APG 85 which can track stealth jets. This radar is still being made and once it is made will force some changes to the F-35. The radar maker says the first batch of the AESA radar will only be delivered in 2028. Meanwhile, an audit report finds that only 25% of the F-35 fleet is capable of carrying out combat missions.
