What is this, a Zelda side quest? Lol. I’d love to help you find the princess but I’m just so broken up over this missing F-35. If you can help me find it, I think I’ll be able to remember where I saw her last. There might also be 20 rupees in it for ya. Thanks!
I’d imagine they would have RTK with a CGA response on something worth $80M. I put that in a drone for $250. But idk if it would be able to respond underwater. You’d think they’d have a track up until it went under.
RTK requires a separate receiver which is located nearby and has a comms link (unlikely for a fast moving attack aircraft) and only reduces the accuracy from meters to cm. Not sure there’s much need there.
I’m not an engineer, or have any real qualifications on the subject. But I’m guessing you would want to cut all transmissions you can from a stealth jet.

Maybe it’s a really expensive addition to someone’s garage?
If I find it, can I fly it back to base?
Concerning the pilot wasn’t able to fly it back, I’ll with you the best of luck with your endeavor.
A missing jet is nothing.

Better question is why, at $80m per plane, they cant find a way to track these assets even when they crash

Because they spent $80 million dollars to make it untraceable so it wouldn’t get shot down.
If your plane crashes over unfriendly territory, you don’t want to make it easier for them to get their hands on it.

You’d think they’d have GPS on these things. Lowjack at the very least.
GPS is passively received.
Slap an AirTag on it at least.

China: So, is this invitation open to anyone, or…?
How do you lose a F35 🤣
I thought they were designed for that
