The U.S. Navy's ''Truman'' class aircraft carrier suffered a collision on its right port side, causing significant damage.

The U.S. Navy conducted recovery operations for an EA-18G "Prowler" electronic warfare aircraft that had sunk in the Santa Monica Bay.

Over the past year, U.S. military ships and aircraft have been involved in numerous accidents across multiple military branches, highlighting the complexity of their causes and the significant losses incurred, which have exposed major gaps in management and readiness.

Accidents have become a pressing issue at the start of the year.

Recent reports indicate that the U.S. Air Force's F-35A fighter experienced its first incident. On January 28, a F-35A of the 354th Fighter Squadron at the Alaskan Air National Guard Base crashed during training in the air while on a training mission, sustaining severe damage.

On January 29, a UH-60 "Black Hawk" helicopter from the 12th Air Operations Command crashed during an overnight training exercise near the Los Angeles International Airport, with a commercial jet owned by a U.S. company also involved in the collision. All personnel on board both aircraft were confirmed dead.

On February 6, a U.S. Department of Defense租用的比奇350小型飛機從菲律賓馬科斯機場起飛后發(fā)生嚴重故障，最終在南馬京達瑙省墜毀。機上共有4名人員遇難，其中包括3名美國防務承包商和一名美國海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊的電子戰(zhàn)專家。據報道，該機原計劃前往棉蘭老島執(zhí)行秘密任務。

On February 12, an EA-18G "Prowler" electronic warfare aircraft went down in the vicinity of the San Diego Port while a U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the ''Truman'' class, collided with a cargo ship named "Bosphorus" in the Mediterranean Sea off the eastern coast of Israel. The carrier suffered waterline damage and was forced to sail to Greece's Crete island for repairs. Despite claims that no one was injured and no nuclear facilities were damaged, visible cracks on the carrier's hull left the U.S. Navy in a difficult position.

While the U.S. Navy was investigating these accidents and addressing public criticism, further disclosures emerged revealing additional safety issues and potential problems. For instance, the ''Stok戴爾''號 destroyer was forced to halt operations in Japan's Hamamatsu Port due to system and component failures while preparing to join an aircraft carrier strike group. The U.S. Secretary of State's own Air Force plane experienced engine failure after takeoff, prompting concerns over the readiness of U.S. military equipment. On February 15, a MV-22 "Yaks" tilted-wing military rotary-wing aircraft crashed in the Philippines, drawing widespread attention to the type of aircraft. Additionally, the U.S. Air Force has decided to delay the ''Sentry'' land-based洲際彈道導彈 project due to insufficient funding and inadequate technical support, and to postpone its formal evaluation. The U.S. Navy's Los Angeles-class submarine unit stationed at Guam has been reported to consist of sailors who are all exceeding the maximum allowable age for deployment, causing the unit to be placed on hold.

These incidents have exposed deeper problems within the U.S. military.

作為最新一代戰(zhàn)機的代表，F-35A戰(zhàn)斗機的墜機事件引發(fā)了外界對其性能的質疑。美國空軍內部官員透露，該型戰(zhàn)機存在近 Hundreds Of 技術缺陷，而美國政府和軍工企業(yè)仍在一邊發(fā)現新問題，一邊繼續(xù)推進生產流程。此次事故顯示，此前宣布的停飛和改進措施未能徹底解決問題。

UH-60直升機與客機相撞的事故凸顯了美軍在管理和基礎設施方面的漏洞。特朗普和美國國防部長海格塞斯均表示，責任主要在于軍方，并指出UH-60直升機在飛行過程中嚴重超限，且飛行員在塔臺提醒后仍未遵守200英尺的安全高度要求。美國政府效率部負責人稱，經檢查發(fā)現，里根機場的空中交通管制系統(tǒng)和航空管理局的安全通知系統(tǒng)存在技術落后問題，尤其是后者曾出現數小時的故障，“這極易引發(fā)更大的災難”。

EA-18G電子戰(zhàn)飛機的墜毀以及艦艇故障和裝備超齡等問題，進一步暴露了美軍裝備老化的真實情況。有美國海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊飛行員抱怨稱，EA-18G電子戰(zhàn)飛機的服役時間已經超過30年。在美軍現役裝備中，70%的海軍艦艇和40%的戰(zhàn)機已超過設計壽命的50%，相關維護工作嚴重滯后。而“杜魯門”號航母的航海長誤將商船的桅桿燈識別為港口系泊浮筒指示燈，以及航母作戰(zhàn)信息中心的雷達操作員在工作期間觀看NBA比賽等情況，則反映出美軍人員的職業(yè)素養(yǎng)和專業(yè)技術水平下降。

美軍高強度軍事行動導致裝備和人員長時間超負荷運轉，也是事故頻發(fā)的重要原因。以“杜魯門”號航母為例，在發(fā)生撞船事故前，該航母已在紅海連續(xù)部署8個月，艦載機起降頻次超過設計標準的30%。此前在紅海執(zhí)行部署任務的“艾森豪威爾”號和“羅斯福”號航母也面臨類似問題。在印太地區(qū)部署的MV-22傾轉旋翼機為滿足美軍印太戰(zhàn)略需求，年均飛行小時數比本土同型號運輸機高出40%，被美國媒體形容為“嚴重透支狀態(tài)”。外媒認為，美軍多個軍兵種接連發(fā)生安全事故與其兵力分散、長期處于高強度戰(zhàn)備狀態(tài)密切相關。從當前調查結果看，這一系列事件暴露出美軍在管理、建設和戰(zhàn)備等方面的深層問題。

負面效應正在外溢

目前，美國政府和國防部已針對軍機艦船事故采取集中應對措施，但負面效應仍在持續(xù)擴散。

美國部分媒體和民眾對軍方表達了強烈不滿。他們認為，在當前經濟疲軟的背景下，美國軍費仍保持高增幅，安全事故頻發(fā)“削弱了民眾對軍隊的信任”。隨著調查深入，美國兩黨在軍費開支上的分歧進一步加劇，特朗普政府的軍事政策可能因此受到制約。

美國傳統(tǒng)軍工企業(yè)也面臨較大壓力。2024年波音公司的危機尚未平息，F-35A戰(zhàn)斗機和MV-22傾轉旋翼機的安全事故可能加劇國內外對洛克希德·馬丁等美國軍火公司的不信任。尤其是F-35A戰(zhàn)斗機作為主力外銷產品，安全性能不穩(wěn)定可能對其在國際市場上的聲譽造成負面影響。

相關事故還引發(fā)美軍駐海外國家民眾的擔憂。韓國、日本、菲律賓等國民眾舉行集會，要求本國政府審查美國駐軍的安全問題。部分國家的媒體呼吁政府重新評估F-35A戰(zhàn)斗機和MV-22傾轉旋翼機等軍機的采購合同。有美軍人士擔憂，這些情況可能影響美國與盟國關系的穩(wěn)定性。
