      Damn, you beat me to the Pepsi joke. Not only am I not original but I’m not original in a userbase the size of Lemmy.

    This is strange. It almost makes me think the scenario was an elaborate ruse to capture an F-35:

    • get an inside man to mess with the avionics
    • including turning off location telemetry
    • simulate a failure that requires an ejection
    • fly the plane into the ocean using autopilot
    • recover via submarine

    Couldn’t have been that advanced, if it doesn’t even have a GPS tracker

    Hey man, we’ve lost nukes that we’re never found, this is just another hunk of junk at the bottom of the ocean.
