Or, it might suggest that they DO understand what they are up against and realize that if something like Link-22 or the Weapon Data Link systems got hacked, EXTREMELY BAD things might start happening. Especially if the links themselves were now "in question". Imagine a certain plane flying over parts of Eastern Europe, deciding to "let a few things fly (or drop)" at the wrong time.
Imagine a modern day equivalent of say Archduke Ferdinand with the modern day Gavrilo Princip being "remote controlled"....

The interesting thing would be if they powered down every plane once taxiing it to the hanger and then popped the breakers so that it would go fully offline. THAT would be the ultimate tell. Pilots and crew get a movie or two and a two day lecture, and the planes get new firmware and encryption decks.
Brings a new meaning to WiFi/Bluetooth's "Airplane Mode"...

He has been up most of the day...
They seem to be hoping to find something in the area. It has narrowed down a LOT since this morning.

As Marines continue to search for F-35 after 'mishap,' officials order 2-day stand-down for all jets
After a "mishap" with an F-35 fighter jet in South Carolina on Sunday, the Marine Corps commandant issued a two-day service-wide stand-down for all aviation units
abcnews.go.com
The Marine Corps acting commandant, Eric Smith, on Monday issued a two-day stand-down to take place at some point this week for all aviation units both inside and outside of the United States, a Marine Corps spokesman told ABC News.
The move was made in the wake of a "mishap" with an F-35 fighter jet in South Carolina on Sunday.
That craft has not yet been located, though the military continues to search.
A Marine Corps spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday that the F-35's pilot "safely ejected from the aircraft. We are currently still gathering more information and assessing the situation. The mishap will be under investigation."
No units are allowed to fly until they have a two-day discussion about safety measures and procedures, the commandant said in a service-wide email on Monday. While the Marine Corps commandant said he has full confidence in the aviation units, he said he felt this was the "right and prudent" thing to do given both this incident and another recent incident in Australia.
So it looks like it's just the USMC that's grounded according to the article.

I'm sure the Russians/ Chinese/ NKs/ etc will understand and not do anything stupid that would upset FJB at a time like this when our military is grounded......As Marines continue to search for F-35 after 'mishap,' officials order 2-day stand-down for all jets

I thought the same.
Makes me wonder if the other guy was forcefully ejected, and they were worried the same may happen to the plane that returned.
Or the plane that returned was there to offer visual witness confirmation that the other F35 did indeed fly off.

No, it wasn’t. I must’ve seen that elsewhere as a speculation.

I think this whole thing is a psychological operation in and of itself. When has the military ever released this type of information to the public? When has the military ever asked for the general public, civilians for help? Also we have to remember the main stream media never gives us information to help us. The news they present is only to steer the herd to think a certain way.

Thank you.
Well .... I guess after we've poured billions of dollars into developing a stealthy jet, it ought to be harder to find.
Turn a Marine loose with anything more than a rifle, a shovel and some grenades and we expect what? (j/k, my dad was a decorated Marine but in a way that's truth).

Maybe we will finally see what a jet crashing into a field looks like? 
Joking aside, how did this happen without people noticing? I mean, goat herders in barren
Kazakhstan post on twitter as soon as a plane goes down or meteor????

LOL Best one I've heard from a buddy is that the onboard AIP unit rejected the illogic from the woke military, ejected the pilot and went into hiding. The debris field could be a decoy.

No need. I'm sure BiDen has already supplied the chicoms with all pertinent data.

It was all over social media this morning that it flew to Cuba.
