According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report published this week, the U.S. Pentagon is unable to account for approximately 26 million F-35 aircraft spare parts valued at an estimated $31 billion, with the inventory system described as 'outdated, inaccurate, and incomplete.' The parts are scattered across roughly 700 government and contractor facilities worldwide. The GAO also noted that over 1 million parts worth more than $85 million are lost or missing, and about 17,000 parts sent for repair—worth as much as $42.5 billion—remain untracked. The report comes weeks after classified F-35 components were allegedly intercepted by China in September after a UPS employee diverted the shipment through Hong Kong.
