[Psalm 73]

"...a cockpit canopy and weapons bay door to the U.S. from Australia in late May when it was diverted."

I saw that yesterday. Red Chinese espionage.

Shame on the Aussies - our allies need to have better OPSEC.

[Jonty30]

Was Australia paid to make mistake?

Don’t waste your time trying to find out about this part of the story by clicking the link (when it was diverted). It did not appear the authors tried very hard to find that out. No questions to UPS who was shipping it. Just someone in Australia who said we are looking into it.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

We’re sending high-security military components by UPS?

[montag813]

Australia should be considered an adversary, if not an outright enemy. Trump should have ended the “Five Eyes” intelligence arrangement on January 1, 2025.

Am I miss remembering, didn’t China hack all the design files along with many other LM plane files over a decade ago? They exfiltrated so much data, the bulk of the R&D for their current fighters was done thanks to LM.

Occams razor says most likely it was just a stupid employee who shipped via UPS, disregarding the fact that Hong Kong airport is a huge regional hub, and Hong Kong is controlled by the CCP

As to China, it has very similar advanced AI software, similar to the USA’s Palantir and such.

As soon as those shipments appeared on a manifest passing through Hong Kong, it would have been flagged.

[Bayard]

This kind of mistake was waiting to happen. Absolutely no reasonable way that a weapons platform like the F 35 as a “joint” fighter would be secure.

If you want it secure don’t share it.

Hopefully Trump will give that fake CCP leader a good going over during his visit ,LOL

[FlingWingFlyer]

They can pick that stuff up cheap from our Biden, illegal alien refugee military personnel. People who are in the military not to defend America but who are on the outhouse path to U.S. citizenship and free stuff.

I hope they spend a bunch of money making crappy F-35 copies and then finding out the basic design sucks.

“when it was diverted”

yeah, that “just happens” all the time.

[Political Junkie Too]

If they're that sensitive, why didn't we ship them with our own C-130s?
