Fighter was already amiss before the landing.
Yep, which is why it is strange that he didn't pull up earlier.

Maybe the software wasn't showing warning signs? It has been noticed that in recent times with more software integrated in operations there is a reluctance from human operators to abort an action that they might think will fail if the software system doesnt show any warnings signs for imminent failure

I think they were already blaming the Covid vaccine.

It does not take software to realise that something is amiss

You need Qing Ting FM to listern to it, but it will be up on Bilibili by tomorrow
Shilao, Yankee and Ayi had their first podcast of 2022 and they dove straight into some interesting information about the F-35 crash:

  • Yankee forwarded the most recent video to his friend in PLA who are "relevant to the incident" and his response was "oh, oh yeah, so that's what it looked like from ground level, it's nice to have footage from another angle"
  • with this they apparently have enough footage to cut together a video of it from multiple angles, one from back of the ship, this one from the flight deck and one panoramic view from higher up
  • Shilao and Yankee said it's almost certain that as we speak, research papers are been written up inside PLA with titles like "A review of PLAN pilot training standards, based on F-35C landing incident by a certain country", "The necessity of prompt damage control on-board warships" and "The importance of OPSEC - from the aftermath of a certain incident"
  • Yankee and Shilao points out that if you find the above about PLA at the scene of the incident hard to believe, review the landing footage shot from the back of the ship - note that this F-35C was attempting to land while slinging two AIM-9X under its wings
  • there are rumours that Japan is interested both recovering the plane and repairing it to put it back into service, however unlikely that sounds
