Well a wave hit it
Too Dumb To Imagine
So dumb that you couldn't even have imagine it.
Plane fall off
I love the reasoning they gave too, that it swerved to avoid Houthi drone strikes and it just fell off lmao. Maybe we shouldn't be having aircraft carriers over there assisting Israel's genocide and they won't keep getting shot at.
Finally, fresh magnet fishing content.
I guess they'll at least try to salvage or destroy it themselves. Even if the electronics etc. are defective, a jet in almost perfect condition might be pretty interesting to analyze for foreign nations.
It's far from perfect condition after a dive like that in that water. I'd be surprised if it's remotely salvageable, might be good for some intel but most equipment sitting on deck is probably mostly declassified by now anyway.
