五角大楼和美国国会议员正在调查F-35战斗机敏感部件，包括一个采用隐身设计技术的座舱盖，今年夏天在从澳大利亚运往美国维修途中被转运至香港的经过。据知情官员透露，该批货物由为主承包商洛克希德·马丁工作的中间商负责运送，在横渡太平洋途中被改道。
五角大楼F-35联合项目办公室证实，部分部件失踪后最终出现在香港，但其目前的保管情况和所在位置仍不清楚。目前没有公开证据表明中国当局已获得这些部件，但此事件已引发华盛顿方面的担忧，即如果部件落入错误的人手中，北京可能因此获得机密隐身技术。座舱盖被认为尤为敏感，因为其设计对该战机的低可观测性、规避雷达探测能力至关重要。
负责关键国家安全事务的国会委员会工作人员已就此事接受了五角大楼和国务院官员的简报。五角大楼表示，正与美国有关部门和业界合作伙伴合作，追回部件，查明转运原因，并制定防范措施以避免类似事件再次发生。
