A shipment of sensitive F-35 fighter jet parts from Australia to the U.S. was rerouted through Hong Kong due to a missed email warning from freight company DSV. The UPS agent responsible for the shipment did not see the instructions to avoid certain regions under ITAR regulations, leading to the parts passing through a Chinese territory. The components included stealth coatings and critical aircraft parts, raising concerns over security and compliance.
