America’s fighter jet landed in non-NATO country

From the 14th (June) of last month, the fifth category ‘invisible’ F-35 aircraft stood at Trivandrum Airport due to emergency landing. Initially it was told that due to lack of fuel, the landing of fighter jet has been done. Later, the technical fault was stated. Fighter jet could not fly after reaching Trivandrum Airport. In such a situation, it became a matter of curiosity all over the world, because for the first time in a non-Nato country, the most advanced and modern fighter jet made in America was stuck.

America’s claim is wrong

The F-35 fighter Jet, Royal Navy’s aircraft-carrier was stationed on HMS-Wales. At the time of the incident, HMS-Wales was stationed in the Arabian Sea. America, England and NATO countries also suffered a shock because the Indian Air Force claimed to ‘detect F-35’.

The Air Force said that the country’s IACCS i.e. Integrated Air Command and Control System caught F-35 flying in the Arabian Sea. Whereas the US claims that this fighter jet cannot catch any radar in the world. The US has supplied this very advanced fighter aircraft to its associate countries including England and Israel.

Trivandrum reached a specialist team of Royal Air Force

Initially, the fighter jet pilot also refused to take F-35 to the Hanger of Trivandrum Airport citing security. In such a situation, a QRT of CISF was deployed under the security of F-35. Royal Navy engineers also failed to correct technical faults. Later, when a specialist team of Royal Air Force reached Trivandrum from England, F-35 was shifted to MRO i.e. Maintenance Repair and Overhaling Facility.

Japan deployed f-35: Due to China’s expansionist thinking, the alarm bell always rings for its neighboring countries. Something similar happened with India’s friend Japan. There is a dispute between China and Japan over the Senakaku Islands or DiaoU Islands. The situation between the two countries is quite stressful because China claims on this island occupied by Japan. To deal with this situation, the US has given Japan a 5th-generation fighter jet F-35, which has been deployed by Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF) on Komats Airbase in Honshu Island.

According to the report of Defense Industry Europe, Japan has deployed F-35A fighter jets from the US on Komatsu Airbase. Japan’s Defense Minister General Nakatani said that before this deployment, Jasdf’s F-35A fleet was limited to Missa Air Base in northern Japan. However, with the Eastern Sea of ​​Japan, the decision to deploy new upcoming F-35A aircraft in Komatsu has been taken in view of the need to improve the air defense of Japan. He said that this deployment will allow Jasdf to use the aircraft around the Eastern Sea, which is a very large airspace.

What is the dispute between Japan and China?

The Eastern Sea dispute between Japan and China is a complex maritime dispute, with the Senakaku Islands (Japanese name) or DiaoU Islands (Chinese) located in the Eastern China Sea. This dispute between the two countries is very sensitive from the perspective of diplomatic, strategic and natural resources. Although humans do not live here, but there are natural gas and oil reserves around it. After the Japan-China War in 1895, Japan captured Senakaku Islands. It was also signed by China in a treaty between Japan and China in the Treaty of Shimonosaki.

Although after the Second World War, the US captured these islands including Okinawa, but when its relationship with Japan improved, then in 1972 the US returned the control of the islands to Japan. For the first time in the 1970s, the region was revealed to have oil-gas resources and after that China started claiming its sovereignty on the region.

Why does China claim Senakaku islands?

Dragon says that the Senakaku islands who have control of Japan are from China. It claims that Japan forcibly captured the island in 1895. Now as China is increasing its strength, it is claiming the islands in the South China Sea as well as the Eastern Sea. China has started deploying its coast guards and fighter aircraft in this area. Apart from this, China declared the region as ADIZ i.e. Air Defense Identification Zone, after which its constant conflict with Japan started.

However, Japan also did not back down to protect his islands and America is also supporting him. In such a situation, Japan has deployed American F-35 fighter jet in this area. In the coming days, some more fighter jets Japan will deploy here so that China can be kept under control. At present, there is no direct war situation between Japan and China, but there is a possibility of constant military-general conflict.
