A critical system failed as a Super Hornet fighter jet was landing on USS Harry S. Truman. The jet slid off the deck into the Red Sea.

Lessons learned from investigations into four recent events involving the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group will improve Naval operations.

In the first incident over the seas southeast of Okinawa Island, "a J-15 fighter jet launched from the Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier 'Liaoning' intermittently locked the radar" on a Japanese Air Self-Defense Force F-15 fighter jet that was scrambled over the Chinese aircraft's airspace intrusion, the ministry said in a statement.

New documents reveal how the USS Gettysburg shot down an F/A-18 and nearly hit a second one above the Red Sea last year.

The plane appeared to lose control and dive directly toward the ground just before crashing inside the grounds of the airfield.

One of the planes was accidentally shot down by the cruiser USS Gettysburg, which also fired on another Super Hornet.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron are planning to discuss the fate of the troubled Franco-German fighter jet project FCAS - or SCAF - in the week of December 15, an industry source told Reuters on Saturday.

The F-16C Fighting Falcon crashed around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday during a training mission “over controlled airspace in California.”

The incident, which saw the Chinese side twice lock its fire radar onto SDF aircraft, comes as ties between the neighbors continue to plunge to fresh lows.

Chinese J-15 fighter jets directed their radar at Japanese F-15 aircraft in two incidents over international waters on Saturday close to Japan's Okinawan islands, Japan's defence minister said on Sunday.

Business Insider embarked on a British Voyager aircraft to watch it refuel NATO fighter jets around Europe.
