Description

The F-35 Lightning is America's most important stealth fighter, shared with key allies worldwide. But a recent intelligence failure saw sensitive components, including a classified radar-absorbing canopy, diverted to Chinese-controlled Hong Kong before vanishing entirely. This episode examines what Beijing may have captured and what it means for stealth technology.
