But the video contains some more details that are very curious:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THE WEIRD &amp; WONDERFUL F-35 LIGHTNING \u2022 A FUN VIDEO ABOUT STEALTH CLOUDS, HOWLS, WIFI JAMMING &amp; MORE\" width=\"665\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m42tRu4G6Bk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of those curious details that the video shows is <strong>the interference that the F-35 generates in Wi-Fi networks<\/strong>. You can see this towards the end of the video. This issue is no mystery: in addition to being designed to intercept other fighters and to carry out surface attack missions, <strong>the F-35 has electronic warfare systems to generate interference on enemy radars in different ways<\/strong >. What you see in the video are the interference that these electronic warfare systems have on the Wi-Fi of Ted's camera, which usually broadcasts live videos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The next curious detail seemed much stranger to me.<\/strong> It can be seen several times in the video. In this screenshot we can see:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53394036115_32a998b468_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And here it is repeated again:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53393905379_f2f3e0786d_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What is absolutely normal in this scene are <strong>the classic condensation trails that are generated on the edge of the wings<\/strong> when a plane flies in a place with clouds or with a certain humidity in the air, as you can see in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvidshub.net\/image\/3316376\/f-35a-arrives-raf-lakenheath\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">this photo published by the USAF<\/a> from one of their F-35As stationed at RAF Lakenheath base, where Ted's video was recorded.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53393905419_fc9209073b_b.jpg\" style=\"width:100%; height:auto; border:0px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is strange are the two lines that project forward<\/strong>, in the same direction as the condensation trails, as if opening a furrow between the clouds.
