The unseen fighter Frannt has successfully passed the trials and is ready to carry out the battle missions.

The US Air Force is placed in the operation of the F-35A Lightning II fighter-invisible, collected from two parts damaged during the F-35 training. CNN reported it.

The plane was called Frankenjet (Frannt) by analogy to monster Frankenstein. It was assigned to the 388th fighter wing and returned to Hill Air Base in Utah.

In 2014, the F-35A aircraft (known as AF-27), which prepares to fly a training flight from Eglin Air Base to Florida, suffered the machine. As a result of the fire, the two -thirds of the fighter’s back were destroyed.

In 2020, the other F-35A (known as AF-211) refused the set of nasal chassis during the landing at Hill Air Base in Utah, which led to serious damage to the aircraft.

So in the US Air Force there are two expensive broken warriors, worth $ 75 million each. Instead of writing the same aircraft in 2022, the military decided to remove the nose part from the AF-27 and install it on the AF-211 to save and restore the stunning plane to the park as much as possible.

The work -off work lasted 2.5 years. And in January of this year, the “newborn” Frannt has successfully passed the trials. By the end of last month, the fighter was returned to the military base.

The arrangement costs $ 11.7 million, and Pentagon manages to save $ 63 million compared to the cost of a new aircraft replacement.

According to the International Institute for Strategic Research, the US Air Force Park has 383 F-35A aircraft. 17 Other countries owned these aircraft or would like to buy them.

Remember that Portugal plans to refuse to replace its F-16 fighters with the more modern F-35 due to US president Donald Trump.

In Germany, anxiety is growing about possible US control over the F-35 German fighters.
