A 🇺🇸 U.S military F-35 stealth fighter jet worth $135m has crashed off of the airfield at the Albuquerque International Sunport, the primary international airport in New Mexico, officials said.

The only person on board, the pilot, was conscious and taken to University of New Mexico Hospital with serious injuries, according to airport officials and Albuquerque Fire Rescue.

As of Tuesday evening, the pilot was in stable condition, according to a press release from Kirtland Air Force Base.

Two civilians were evaluated at the scene and neither person was transported, fire officials said.

The downed aircraft was a new F-35, a U.S. official told ABC News. A Defense Contract Management Agency pilot was flying the aircraft, which was being transferred from a Lockheed Martin factory to be handed over to the service, at the time of the crash, the official said.

Lockheed Martin said the F-35B was en route from Fort Worth, Texas, to Edwards Air Force Base in California when it crashed after refueling at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico.

The fire at the scene has been extinguished, officials added.

"Flight operations have resumed, but check with your airline for flight status," airport officials said.

The US has crashed more aircrafts in training this year than 🇷🇺 Russia that is fighting in a war has. More than 35 crashes in just the last 5 months.

🇺🇸 US military aircrafts are flying coffins. World's number 1 🤡 Army indeed.

United States Of Americrash. 😂


👍🏻 Like for Russia-Putin, share for USA/Nazi/NATO 卍

As a mod on nairaland i hereby push this thread to FP

F-35 the best multirole jet in the world

American Military Aircrafts have gotten so bad they're crashing STRAIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY.

Things are getting out of hand.

Sure say no be china dey hack am

The most advanced fighter jet in the world.
Most likely human error.

Are the US military jets being bugged or what? Why these crashes up and down?

They will deceive enemies that will underate them . Go head to head with them and regret your action

This poster is a paid Russian troll working from a troll farm in St. Petersburg. Russia has a huge number of them posting across various news aggregation platforms in Nigeria and other African countries. His posts are targeted at magnifying any supposedly negative report about the US and other western countries while projecting Russia favorably. His post history confirms this.

The sole purpose of why he keeps posting what he does is to change the perception of Nigerians towards the west and influence public opinion against it.

It is laughable that Russia that has lost 1/3 of its Navy together with its flagship vessel the Moskova, to a country that has no Navy at all, is trying to convince people that it is a formidable military force. Russia is a joke. If they can't take Ukraine, is it the US they think they can face?

The weapons the US is giving Ukraine are old stock and outdated(over 30 years) versions not even the current generation and yet Ukraine is causing Russia serious casualties with them. The last count of casualties Russia has suffered is around 480,000 men.

The S-400 missile defence system which is the pride of Russia, is being obliterated by 25 year old American made ATACMS. Russia has lost over 12 S-400 so far. Each costs over a billion dollars.

Russia has to rely on North Korea, China and Iran to provide it with enough shells and ammunition because Russian manufacturing is not up to task. Little reason why Putin is desperate for a ceasefire.

So Mr WriterNG, take your shilling elsewhere. Some of us can see right through you. Your country Russia, is a cancer upon the world.

That's one of the best fighter jets in the world since 2006.

Millions lost. I hope the pilot survives but then I know they all have eject button

This Muslim clown and his foolish obsession with US plane crash.


Your wish for US to fall is just a daydream, you better wake up and face reality that America has come to stay and Russia with their past glory cannot match US in any way



I am even sure that you must have been applying for a US visa backed with special Mosalashi prayers to no avail

Racoon:

As the world's most active military it's expected they should have more crashes than others. The main question is, how effective are they in actual battle? I think that question answers itself.

After i too know people will say it's normal, guy america airspace is breached!!! Chinese ballon comes to mind

the pilot should have ejected. Except he isn't well trained or there is more to d story
