US F-35 fighter jet crashes into New Mexico hillside, 2nd Crash Of F-35 Aircraft In Mere 9 Months

More news saying that this plane is a F-35B for US Marine. It has the latest upgrade for test flight in Edwards Air Base in California. This was the maiden flight and it went down.
While the F35 program has been frustratingly expensive and producing worse than promised products, this specific aircraft was a test platform. F35 is a good example on how not to make a common plane to serve all services. It ended up becoming a horse designed by a committee, AKA a camel.

The F-35 and F-22 were designed to have low radar cross sections to avoid detection by radar. They excel in this role, having the smallest radar cross sections of all fighter jets worldwide.
