Following the highly publicized loss of a British F-35B stealth fighter from the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth in the eastern Mediterranean yesterday, the United Kingdom has approached the United States to help in the aircraft recovery effort. Retrieving the Lightning from the seafloor will be a high priority, to ensure that neither the jet nor any of its sophisticated components end up in the hands of Russia, or potentially other powers. You can read our initial report on the accident here.

According to a report from Larisa Brown, Defense Editor of The Times, the U.K. Ministry of Defence has approached the United States for assistance since it has salvage equipment located in Spain, closest to the scene of the incident.
