Chinese authorities reportedly obtained F-35 stealth fighter components—a cockpit canopy and weapons bay door coated with radar-absorbing material—after a UPS shipment from Australia was diverted to Hong Kong in May. Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles said Australia is assisting the U.S. and Lockheed Martin in investigating the diversion, though he stated no sensitive parts were in the missing shipment.
