This is strange. It almost makes me think the scenario was an elaborate ruse to capture an F-35:

  • get an inside man to mess with the avionics
  • including turning off location telemetry
  • simulate a failure that requires an ejection
  • fly the plane into the ocean using autopilot
  • recover via submarine
