2 U.S Navy Fighter Jet & Helicopter Crashes In The South China Sea (Photos)

A 🇺🇸 U.S jet fighter and a helicopter have crashed into the South China Sea within 30 minutes of each other, the US Navy said.

Three crew members of the MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter were rescued after they went down with the aircraft.

Two aviators in the F/A-18F Super Hornet jet fighter ejected and were recovered safely after the plane "went down" while "conducting routine operations".

The navy said the crashes happened about 2:45pm on Sunday, local time.

All five navy personnel "are safe and in stable condition," the navy said in a statement.

The causes of the two crashes were under investigation, the statement said.

The two aircraft are based off the carrier USS Nimitz, which has been deployed in the Middle East and is returning home to Washington.

The carrier is on its final deployment before decommissioning after being a part of the US response to attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on commercial shipping.

Another aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S Truman, suffered a series of mishaps in recent months while deployed to the Middle East.

In December, the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg mistakenly shot down an F/A-18 jet from the Truman.

Then, in April, another F/A-18 jet fighte from the Truman's hangar deck crashed into the Red Sea.

And in May, an F/A-18 jet fighter landing on the carrier in the Red Sea went overboard after apparently failing to catch the steel cables used to stop landing planes and forcing its two pilots to eject.

Kai

Is a sad thing

Us and aircraft crashes

Nigeria should sanction the US Air Force and compel them to carry out a comprehensive check on all their aircraft

America is the greatest Nation on earth right now, they will replace it fasting than tinubu replacing his service chief.

I suspect some form of cyber attack that the USA does not know on those aircraft by the Chinese

Russia and China have been war-gaming Amerikan Military Vessels & Aircrafts for years just to show the Amerikans that their collective invincibility is a mirage & self delusion.

This usually happens when a bully is nearing its end and expiry date.

Their planes have crashed so much that you will think they are cookies and yet they claim world power and that's how our fine banker the CEO of Access bank was killed in USA in their crashes


Every month they have crashes .... And they want to fight China or Russia

These guys can't even defeat Venezuela in a ground offense... Not with all these crashes and we have seen how Russia has humiliated them in Ukraine and destroyed all their fake weak weapons they call GAME CHANGERS

How do you mistakenly shoot down a plane from your own side?

So America dey make that kind mistake

China is a communist nation, Communism and world power don't go hand-in-hand.

Calm down, don’t take these things to heart for the sake of your mental wellbeing. International politics is very dirty and full of intrigue

I hope the Chinese have not started using an advanced form of electronics warfare on US military aircrafts

There is no doubt about their ability to replace the craft, the real question is why the crashes happened in the first instance

The U.S.S. Nimitz, the oldest American aircraft carrier in active service, has been conducting routine operations over the past few months in the South China Sea and the adjacent Philippine Sea.

for the fact that they can design and build a machine of that kind automatically makes them a world power.

What is really the problem with USA and air crash

Your headline is misleading.

It should be “2 U.S. Navy Aircraft Go Down in South China Sea”

You made it look like there were 3 aircraft involved.
