The U.S.-made plane vanished from radar Tuesday night shortly after taking off from the Misawa air base with three other F-35As – and experts have warned the loss of the jet could become a major security headache if Russia or China get their hands on the wreckage first.
Japan’s Air Self-Defense Force said parts of the jet were found late Tuesday, but the rest of it and its pilot – whom officials say is a man in his 40s – are still missing. It’s also not clear yet what caused the aircraft to plunge into the water.
