According to a reference news report on October 3, on October 2, the Venezuelan Defense Minister announced that more than five U.S. F35 stealth fighters were locked by its own air defense system 75 kilometers away from the Venezuelan coast.
At present, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense have signed a joint statement on the news and protested the situation to the United Nations.
This report highlights at least two issues:
Although the Venezuelan Defense Minister did not mention what type of air defense system locked the F-35, the world knows that Venezuela is equipped with China's Red Flag 9B long-range air defense radar.
Second, the F-35 hidden fighter aircraft, which is considered by the United States as a baby beetle, in front of this radar, like running naked.
