A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter crashed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California, on Friday, with the pilot safely ejecting before impact, officials said. The aircraft, assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 11 under the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, went down near the runway and sparked a vegetation fire that was contained by emergency crews. The Marine Corps classified the incident as a Class A mishap, the military’s most serious accident category, as investigators examine the cause of the crash. The F-35B, a short takeoff and vertical landing variant of the fifth-generation fighter, costs around $109 million and is a key component of U.S. military aviation. #f35 #f35b #fighterjet #usmilitary #usmarines #california #sandiego #miramar #militarynews #aviationnews #stealthfighter #aircraftcrash #breakingnews #defenceupdate #topgunbase #militaryaviation #jetcrash #america #worldnews #defence In this Times Now World News report, we break down the thi
